Set on Melton Road in Thurmaston, this four-bedroom detached house offers practical family living with scope to personalise. At about 1,076 sq ft on a decent plot, the home benefits from solar panels, double glazing, a large driveway for three to four cars and no onward chain — useful for a straightforward move.
The ground floor includes a versatile room that can serve as a fourth bedroom, home office or be opened up into a larger kitchen-diner. The bright lounge leads into a conservatory with direct garden access; at the rear there is a covered cattery which could be removed or converted to create more usable outdoor space. Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms, loft access and a family bathroom.
There is clear potential to extend (subject to planning) and to modernise interiors to current tastes. Constructed in the 1930s–1940s, the property sits on solid brick walls likely with no insulation — buyers should expect renovation works and possible insulation improvements. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators.
Location is convenient: Watermead Country Park, Thurmaston Shopping Centre and a range of primary and secondary schools are within walking distance. Note the wider area has higher crime and local deprivation indicators; buyers should consider security and community context when viewing. Council Tax band C and freehold tenure are practical advantages.
