Summary - 22 KEATS LANE EARL SHILTON LEICESTER LE9 7DQ
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Renovated character home with big garden and low running costs.
Two double bedrooms and contemporary shower room in compact footprint
This renovated two-bedroom cottage on Keats Lane offers an approachable entry into village living with countryside views and a larger-than-average rear garden. Recent upgrades include a high-spec Gaddesby kitchen with built-in Smeg appliances, replaced windows, and a 2019 mains-gas boiler, so day-to-day running is relatively low-maintenance. The lounge's log burner and a 150-year-old slate fireplace give genuine character alongside contemporary finishes such as oak doors and wool carpets.
The home is compact (approximately 402 sq ft) and cleverly arranged over two floors, making it well suited to first-time buyers or downsizers who value location and a private garden over expansive internal space. The property is freehold with an EPC C and very low council tax band A — useful running-cost advantages. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and local primary and secondary schools have good Ofsted ratings.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the house is small, built with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and the plot is modest with limited/shared off-plot parking nearby. The area scores higher for crime and shows signs of deprivation locally, so viewings should include a thorough neighbourhood check. External joinery and the roof appear generally sound from images but would benefit from a close inspection.
Overall this cottage represents a tidy, move-in-ready option for someone seeking a characterful, low-cost-to-run starter home in a village setting with a private, useful garden and countryside outlook. There is scope to personalise or extend subject to checks and consents, but the property is ready to occupy now.
