Set back from Colby Drive, this two-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a substantial plot and is offered chain free — a straightforward renovation or buy-to-let opportunity in Thurmaston. The layout includes a lounge, compact kitchen, two bedrooms and a single bathroom, with a semi-detached garage, private shared driveway and extra side parking. The rear garden is generous and primarily patio/gravel with established planting.
The property requires modernisation throughout: cosmetic and likely systems work are needed to bring the home up to contemporary standards. Walls are cavity-built with no known insulation, glazing install dates are unknown and the accommodation is modest at around 646 sq ft, so budget for upgrades and potential insulation or boiler work.
For investors or buyers seeking a project, the location is a key strength. The home sits close to shops, bus routes and has good road access into Leicester. Local schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding secondary, making the area viable for rental demand or future resale to downsizers and first-time buyers.
Overall this bungalow offers clear scope for added value through refurbishment — favourable plot size, off-street parking and a chain-free sale reduce transaction friction. Buyers should allow for renovation costs and improvements to insulation, heating and finishes when assessing the purchase price and intended use.
