This three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a corner plot within a sought after residential area. Offered with no upward chain the plot does offer scope for extension especially to the side of the home. Conveniently located for a plethora of local amenities the home is only a short drive away from supermarkets, a variety of shops and eateries as well as leisure and medical centres. For commuters there are excellent road links both into and out of the city of Leicester and only a ten to fifteen minute drive to Junction 21 of the M1/M69 near Fosse Park. The home has wide ranging appeal and although cosmetic updating is required it would offer any buyer fantastic potential.
The accommodation includes an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and doors through to the kitchen and lounge diner.
The lounge is a generous space with a bay window to the front elevation. The focal point to the room is provided by a feature fireplace set onto the angled chimney breast commonly found in many these Jelson built semi-detached homes built in the 1950s. The dining area sits open plan to the lounge and has a window to the rear elevation making the whole room a dual aspect space that allows in plenty of natural light. The dining area has ample room for a table and chairs and has a door that opens to the kitchen.
The kitchen has a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a composite sink drainer. There is space for a cooker and fridge/freezer as well as plumbing for a washing machine. There is a window that overlooks the garden to the rear and a back door that opens to the side of the home. Likely to be updated by any buyer, the kitchen could be knocked through into the dining area to create a larger kitchen diner space or equally could be enlarged through extension to either the side or rear.
To the first floor the principal bedroom is situated toward the front of the property and has a bay window matching the one below in the lounge. It is a generous double room with plenty of space of a range of freestanding wardrobes and drawers. The second bedroom is also a well proportioned double room and accommodates a cupboard which houses the boiler.

Finally, there is a refitted shower room which comprises a modern three piece suite to include a large walk in shower with fixed screen, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
As the home is on a corner plot, the front garden is generous and wraps around the front and side of the home. it is a mature frontage that enhances the homes kerb appeal. Adjacent to the front garden is a driveway that provides off road parking. There is more garden space to the rear of the home which has a paved patio seating area, a lawn and a timber built storage shed. The space to the side and rear of the home would allow scope for substantial extension subject to local planning.
This delightful and well loved home is ready for a new chapter and offers any buyer the potential to add significant value through either modernisation, extension or both. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
