A spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home on Knighton Lane East suited to families seeking generous outdoor space and convenient local amenities. The property retains period character — bay windows, picture rails and a fireplace — combined with practical updates such as double glazing and a mains gas boiler. The long rear garden, conservatory and off-street parking with car port are standout features for daily family life and entertaining.
The ground floor layout provides separate lounge and dining rooms plus a practical kitchen and downstairs WC, while three bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the first floor. The plot is larger than average for the type, with a useful outhouse and paved parking area at the bottom of the garden accessed by secure metal gates. Local schools, Queens Road shops, Leicester University and the city centre are all within easy reach.
Buyers should note material factors: the area records higher crime rates and sits in a deprived ward, with a medium flooding risk. The property’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation and the house would benefit from targeted modernization to kitchens, bathrooms and cosmetic finishes to fully realise its potential.
Overall this is a practical, well‑located family home or a buy‑to‑let opportunity for investors prepared to carry out modest updating. Freehold tenure, off‑street parking and the long private garden are clear value drivers; budget for improvements and consider local area factors when assessing suitability.
