Summary - 378 BRAUNSTONE LANE LEICESTER LE3 3DE
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Move-in ready family home with planning permission to expand and rare tandem garage.
Three bedrooms, newly renovated interior throughout
Welcome to 378 Braunstone Lane, a newly renovated three-bedroom semi-detached family home on a prominent corner plot in LE3. The house is move-in ready with a new kitchen, new flooring and doors, a modern bathroom, and a new central heating system — practical updates that reduce immediate maintenance costs. The large private garden, generous driveway and rare double tandem garage add versatile outdoor space and secure parking for multiple vehicles.
A major advantage is the already-granted double-storey planning permission to add two extra bedrooms at the side, offering clear scope to expand without planning uncertainty — ideal for a growing family or to increase rental value. Internally the layout is traditional: lounge, separate dining room, study/office, kitchen/breakfast room, downstairs WC and three bedrooms served by a single family bathroom.
Be realistic about a few material points: the property was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls and no confirmed cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for potential thermal upgrades. The area scores as deprived and local crime is average; transport links, schools and local amenities are good, but consider neighbourhood factors when assessing resale or rental prospects. With freehold tenure and low council tax, this home presents sensible running costs alongside substantial upside from permitted extension and garage conversion potential.
This home will suit families wanting immediate, comfortable accommodation with clear, deliverable plans to grow the property. It offers a balance of ready-to-live-in finishes and realistic improvement opportunities for long-term value.
