Summary - 1951 Overpark Avenue, Leicester, LE3 LE3 1NJ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large garden and driveway parking, ideal for growing families.
Chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached home
This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Overpark Avenue is a practical, chain-free option for families or first-time buyers seeking outside space and redevelopment potential. The house offers a substantial lounge/diner, a functional galley kitchen and a modern family bathroom, with three good-sized bedrooms across two floors. The private driveway provides off-street parking for two or more cars and a very large rear garden gives scope for play, gardening or an extension subject to planning permission.
The property is in a well-connected city location within walking distance of local shops, bus links and several highly rated primary and secondary schools. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the house suitable for home working and everyday family life. Council tax is low and there is no flood risk.
Buyers should be aware of material drawbacks: the neighbourhood scores high for crime and is rated very deprived, which may affect parking and local amenity perception. The house is a solid-brick build from the 1930s–1940s and likely lacks modern wall insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements and some updating could be needed. While there is clear scope for refurbishment or extension (STPP), any redevelopment will require planning confirmation.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-proportioned starter or investment property with a large garden and parking — good potential for improving heating efficiency and adding value through refurbishment or extension. Viewings are recommended for buyers who prioritise outside space and redevelopment potential over a fully modernised finish.
