Summary - 23 RUTLAND DRIVE THURMASTON LEICESTER LE4 8JT
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached Bungalow
Single-storey bungalow with large garden, driveway, garage and scope to extend — ideal for downsizers.
No upward chain — immediate possession possible
This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on Rutland Drive offers single-storey living with practical space and clear potential. The property comes with no upward chain, a large mature rear garden, a wide driveway for several cars and a detached garage — all useful for downsizers seeking low-maintenance, ground-floor accommodation close to local amenities and transport links.
Inside, the layout is straightforward: lounge with bay window, two double bedrooms, a modern fitted kitchen and a contemporary shower room. The lean-to provides handy storage and rear access, making everyday living easy. There is scope to extend the footprint subject to planning permission (STPP), which could add value or adapt the property for changing needs.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the EPC rating is E and the cavity walls are likely uninsulated, which may mean higher heating costs and future improvement work. The area records above-average crime and council tax is above local average — factors to weigh alongside the strong plot and location. Overall, this is a sensible purchase for someone looking to downsize, renovate incrementally, or develop the property further with planning approval.
