Description
A three-bedroom detached house in Thurmaston, set on a substantial plot with two garages, a workshop and additional storage. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, a front reception room, a second reception room with access to the garden, and a large rear dining kitchen.

The listing identifies possible scope for extension or redevelopment, including potential additional plots to the rear, subject to planning consent. Any such proposals would require independent planning and site feasibility checks. Thurmaston offers local shops and schools, with access to Leicester and the M1/M69 via the A46.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £395,000, this detached house is priced at about £241/sq ft, around 17% below the local average—a clear opportunity to acquire below the area benchmark. The interiors are usable but consistently dated, giving a buyer scope to refresh the decor and flooring and update the kitchen and bathroom without the photos pointing to an obvious major structural issue. The renovation range is £5,000–£13,000.
The large plot, multiple reception spaces, parking, two garages, workshop and store add to the appeal and give the property a distinctive canvas. The listing also mentions possible extension or redevelopment, but that would depend on planning permission and site constraints.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated decor and worn flooring across the usable reception spaces and bedrooms.
- Update the older kitchen and bathroom finishes as part of a light renovation.
- Make use of the large rear plot, multiple parking spaces, two garages, workshop and store; explore extension or redevelopment potential subject to planning and site constraints.
