Set on a large plot in a well-established Leicester suburb, this bay-fronted three-bedroom detached house is a practical family home with clear scope for extension and development (STPP). The current owners have extended the ground floor to provide a generous kitchen/diner, a living room with garden access and a versatile reception room that has been used as a ground-floor bedroom, dining room or home office. Off-road parking and a single garage add useful storage and parking options.
The south-facing rear garden and raised patio capture much of the day’s sunshine and offer a private, low-maintenance outdoor space with mature planting. Internally the layout suits everyday family life: three bedrooms upstairs and a fitted family bathroom. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for working from home or streaming.
Notable positives include the large plot, garage, driveway and clear potential for substantial extension (subject to planning). Equally, buyers should be aware of material drawbacks: there is only one bathroom for three bedrooms, the surrounding area is classified as deprived with above-average crime rates, and parts of the house present scope for updating rather than full modernisation. These factors should be weighed against the property’s development potential and convenient access to schools, shops and transport links.
This home will suit families seeking immediate liveability with the opportunity to add value through enlargement or modernisation. It’s well-located for good local primary and secondary schools and offers straightforward access to the ring road and M1/M69 for commuters.
