Summary - 1951 Overpark Avenue, Leicester, LE3 LE3 1NJ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large garden, driveway and redevelopment potential in quiet LE3 location.
Large rear garden ideal for children and entertaining
A practical three-bedroom semi-detached house offering generous outdoor space and sensible family living in a quiet Leicester street. The layout includes a substantial lounge/diner, galley kitchen and a single modern family bathroom; bedrooms are all a good size for sleeping, study or storage. The large rear garden and private driveway for multiple cars are standout features for family life and outdoor entertaining.
The property dates from the 1930s–40s and is solidly built but shows scope for modernisation — notable opportunities include adding insulation to solid brick walls, upgrading some fittings, and extending or redeveloping (STPP) to increase living space and value. Double glazing is present though the installation date is unknown. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators.
Location strengths include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and easy access to several well-rated local primary and secondary schools. Practical positives are freehold tenure, very low council tax, off-street parking and a decent plot size. Be aware the wider area records high crime and significant deprivation, which will matter for some buyers and could affect resale or rental expectations.
This home suits families or first-time buyers looking for a roomy garden, parking and redevelopment potential who are willing to invest in energy-efficiency and cosmetic improvement. Investors seeking straightforward rental income may value the low council tax and broadband/mobile connectivity but should factor local social statistics into yield assumptions.
