This spacious four bedroom semi-detached family home is offered with no upward chain and occupies a generous South facing plot within a sought after residential area. Conveniently located for a wide range of local amenities including supermarkets, a plethora of independent shops and eateries and medical and leisure centres, the home is also well positioned for commuters with excellent road links both into and out of the city of Leicester. The home itself does require modernisation and refurbishment but with these four bedroom semi-detached homes selling for around £300,000 in good order there is huge potential for any buyer to add immediate and significant value.
The accommodation itself includes an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and a useful understairs storage cupboard. A door from the entrance hall then leads through to a largely open plan ground floor with open archways to three distinct areas.
The first area is the main lounge which is a fantastic size with sliding patio doors that open to the rear garden. There are also two built-in storage cupboards either side of a central chimney breast.
The dining room is adjacent to the lounge with a bay window to the front elevation. These spaces could be separated with a set of double doors if desired or kept open plan for a larger reception space.
The kitchen is also off the main lounge and although many buyers will look to update it currently has a range of base and wall mounted fitted units, with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless steel sink drainer. There is an integral gas hob and built-in oven as well as undercounter space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. A built-in pantry cupboard accommodates space for a fridge/freezer.
A door from the kitchen leads out to a good size outbuilding that has huge potential to be converted to a separate utility room. Providing useful storage, the outbuilding also has a WC.
To the first floor there is a landing with a loft hatch with drop down ladder that provides access to the roof space. Off the landing there are four well proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is situated toward the front of the home and benefits from a built-in over stairs storage cupboard. The second bedroom also has a window to the front elevation. Bedrooms Three and Four overlook the rear garden and offer the flexibility to be used as hobby rooms or working spaces if not required as bedrooms.
Also on the first floor is a refitted bathroom which contains a four piece white suite to include a large walk-in shower, a bath that is more suited to those with limited mobility, a low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a storage unit.
To the front of the home a driveway provides off-road parking and there is a front garden that could be used to make the driveway larger than is already if further parking was required. At the rear is a generous garden that certainly offers plenty of scope to extend subject to local planning. The garden has a paved patio seating area and a lawn with planted borders either side. There are a highly productive cherry and cooking apple trees for those bakers and jam makers and a greenhouse for the tomatoes. The home also has solar panels which are owned outright rather than leased and enhance energy efficiency and reduce energy bills.
This home offers huge potential and it does not require much imagination to appreciate just how wonderful this home could become. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
