Set on a substantial plot in one of Rothley’s most sought-after roads, this traditional 1930s detached house blends period character with family-friendly space. The house offers three reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen with pantry, and a downstairs WC — practical layout for everyday family living and entertaining. A private, established rear garden and garage complete the outdoor appeal. No onward chain speeds a straightforward move for the next owners.
Upstairs there are four generous bedrooms and a family bathroom; many rooms retain original character such as a bay-windowed lounge, fireplace and built-in shelving. The property is solid brick and double glazed, with mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, so it is comfortable now but presents clear potential to modernise and improve energy efficiency.
Buyers should note material facts: the energy rating is D and the walls are original solid brick with no known cavity insulation, so further insulation works could be needed to reduce running costs. Council Tax sits at Band G, so ongoing costs are relatively high. The property appears average-sized internally (approximately 1,807 sq ft) and will suit families wanting space in a premium village setting rather than those seeking a fully modernised turnkey home.
Rothley delivers strong local amenities — schools rated Good, pubs, shops, and easy access to Loughborough, Leicester and the M1. This home will appeal to growing families seeking period charm, a large plot and a desirable location, or to buyers ready to add value through sympathetic updating.
