Set on a generous c.0.2 acre plot in South Knighton, this extended four-bedroom detached home offers clear potential for a growing family. The property retains attractive Arts-and-Crafts character externally — prominent gable, timber windows and a rendered finish — while the interior provides spacious reception rooms and four double bedrooms. Broadband and mobile reception are excellent and the house benefits from a driveway, single garage and large rear garden.
The house is sold chain-free and freehold with vacant possession. It currently requires comprehensive modernisation throughout: fittings, finishes and decor are dated, the garden is overgrown and some updating of services may be needed. The asking price reflects the renovation required and creates scope for reconfiguration, extension or loft conversion (subject to planning).
Location is a strong selling point. The home sits in a quiet residential street close to Knighton Spinney and local amenities, with good schools nearby and very low flood risk. Council tax sits in a higher band, reflecting the area's affluence. For buyers seeking a project in a sought-after Leicester suburb, this property offers space, character and long-term value upside.
