39 Humberstone Drive is a traditional bay-fronted semi with three sizeable bedrooms, two reception rooms and a remodelled kitchen. The house retains original features such as decorative cornicing, picture rails and fireplaces, offering character and scope for sympathetic updating. Set on a substantial, long-established rear garden, the plot is a standout asset for families who value outdoor space.
The property benefits from uPVC double glazing and mains gas central heating, and has an Energy Performance Rating of D. Constructed around 1930–1949 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), the home will be most economical to improve by adding modern insulation and further energy upgrades. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Internally the home needs renovation and cosmetic modernisation throughout; decorative and structural elements show age and some external weathering is evident. There is one bathroom, so growing families should note the single-bathroom layout. The property is freehold and falls in a generally convenient city location with good transport links and a range of local amenities and well-rated schools nearby.
This house suits buyers seeking a period home with character to personalise and improve: families wanting garden space, owners prepared to undertake renovation, or investors targeting added-value refurbishment. Be upfront about likely costs for insulation, redecoration and system updates when considering this purchase.
