Summary - 45 COLBY DRIVE THURMASTON LEICESTER LE4 8LD
3 bed 3 bath Detached Bungalow
Single-storey living with garage, large conservatory and development potential.
Approx half-acre plot with wrap-around gardens
Set back from Colby Drive on approximately a half-acre plot, this detached three-bedroom bungalow delivers rare single-storey living with substantial outdoor space. The house includes three double bedrooms, an ensuite plus separate shower room and family bathroom, a large conservatory and a double garage with parking for multiple vehicles — ideal for families who value space and privacy.
The wrap-around gardens and generous driveway create scope for garden living, keen gardeners, and caravan or vehicle storage. The bungalow’s size (around 1,317 sq ft) and very large plot offer genuine development potential subject to planning permission (STPP) for buyers wanting to extend or reconfigure the footprint.
The property dates from the mid-20th century and presents a mix of ready-to-use rooms and areas that would benefit from modern updating to meet contemporary standards. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and the location provides convenient access to Leicester, major road links and a range of local schools — several rated Good, one Outstanding; a couple require improvement.
Practical points: the home is freehold, sits in a low flood-risk area, and is tucked away for added privacy. Prospective buyers should note any development would need planning approval and there are average local crime and deprivation indicators to consider when comparing neighbourhoods.
