Set on a larger-than-average plot in popular Thurmaston, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers immediate comfort and clear scope for improvement. The single-storey layout, sizeable lounge, conservatory and separate utility deliver practical living for those wanting to downsize without sacrificing space. The plot includes a long driveway and detached garage, providing parking for several vehicles.
Buyers with renovation or extension plans will notice the strong development potential: generous front and rear gardens could accommodate extensions to the front and rear (subject to planning permission). The property is freehold, sits around 1,200 sq ft and has L-shaped internal circulation that could be reconfigured to create a modern, open-plan arrangement.
As-built construction dates from the 1930s–1940s with solid brick walls and no known cavity insulation; the EPC rating of E reflects moderate energy performance. The boiler and radiators are mains gas-fed, and glazing is double but of unknown install date. There is a single shower room — upgrading facilities and improving insulation will be the main areas for investment.
This bungalow will suit a downsizer wanting one-floor living with outdoor space, or a buyer seeking refurbishment/development opportunity in an established residential area with good road links to Leicester and nearby schools. Viewings are recommended to assess how the plot and layout could meet your plans.
