Description

This charming semi-detached home, featuring a classic bay front, is nestled in the sought-after Humberstone Drive neighborhood. With three well-proportioned bedrooms, this property presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and potential value enhancement. While it comes with uPVC double glazing and gas central heating throughout, the interior could benefit from cosmetic updates, allowing new owners to personalize the space to their tastes. The home retains many original features such as decorative cornicing, picture rails, and a fireplace that add character and warmth. The spacious lounge offers a walk-in bay window that floods the room with natural light, while the dining room provides ample space for gatherings and includes useful under-stairs storage. The kitchen is functional and has windows on two sides, providing views of the garden and access to outdoor areas; it includes basic cabinetry along with space for freestanding appliances. Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to three inviting bedrooms, each with distinctive features. The master bedroom boasts fitted wardrobes and an original cast iron fireplace, while another bedroom overlooks the rear garden through a charming bay window. A third bedroom offers good views up the garden as well. A family bathroom rounds out this level with essential amenities. The exterior of the property complements its interior charm. The front yard features established hedgerows and a lawned area leading to the entrance. The generous rear garden is a standout feature, primarily laid to lawn, providing an excellent canvas for landscaping or further development—ideal for those looking to create an outdoor retreat or enhance structural elements. Situated in Leicester—a city known for its vibrant community life—this property enjoys convenient access to shops, schools, parks, leisure facilities, and cultural venues. Transport links are robust as well; nearby motorway access connects residents easily to Birmingham and beyond via multiple routes including the M1 and M69. With its long-standing rental history now vacant and offered without chain complications, this property stands out as an ideal prospect for investors or first-time buyers keen on making their mark in a desirable location.
