This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow in Oadby offers single-level living on a decent plot, ideal for those looking to downsize without sacrificing outdoor space. The property is freehold, chain-free and sits within walking distance of Oadby Parade, local schools and amenities. A detached garage and driveway provide convenient off-road parking.
Internally the layout is traditional with a lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom across approximately 736 sq ft. The rear garden is fully paved with established borders for low-maintenance outdoor living. The heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators; double glazing is installed (pre-2002) and the EPC is rated D.
There is clear scope to extend or reconfigure (subject to planning consent) for buyers seeking extra living space or investment potential. The property does require some modernisation throughout, and the vendor believes the garage roof may contain asbestos — buyers should factor potential remedial costs and ensure appropriate surveys are commissioned.
Practical considerations: the area is classified as affluent with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but local recorded crime levels are noted as high. Council Tax Band C and an affordable running-cost profile make this a sensible option for downsizers or buyers seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance home with refurbishment or extension potential.
