Spacious and flexible, this five-bedroom semi-detached home spans three floors and offers roomy family living in a convenient Leicester location. The property benefits from solar panels, a heat pump and a new boiler, which together reduce running costs and support low-carbon heating. Ground-floor living includes a formal sitting room, a large lounge overlooking the private rear garden and a generous kitchen with a downstairs WC. Two bathrooms serve the house; one is en-suite to the top-floor bedroom. Off-street parking and a decent-sized rear plot add practical family conveniences.
Built before 1900 in solid brick, the house has period proportions and character but will reward updating. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and there is assumed lack of wall insulation; buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and general modernisation. Interior photos note dated decor and possible damp in the entryway — a survey is recommended to confirm any remedial work. The property’s size and layout are well suited to multi-generational families or those needing home-working space.
Location is convenient for local shops, a variety of primary and secondary schools (several rated Good or Outstanding) and easy road links. Practical downsides to note: the wider area records above-average crime and is classified as very deprived locally, and surrounding neighbourhood character is described as hampered/communal retirement in parts. These factors affect resale and should be weighed against the property’s generous accommodation, energy upgrades and parking.
Overall this is a substantial family home with clear potential to increase value through insulation, cosmetic refurbishment and targeted repairs. It will particularly suit buyers seeking space and adaptability who are prepared to invest in modernisation to improve comfort and efficiency.
