Description

This detached three-bedroom family home offers a substantial opportunity for renovation and expansion on a generous plot. Located in a convenient area with excellent transport links, including direct access to Leicester and London via the local railway station, this property is ideal for investors or families looking to create their dream home. The accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hall leading into an 'L' shaped lounge/dining room, which features patio doors that open onto the garden. A sizable breakfast kitchen equipped with basic units and an adjoining utility room provides ample potential for modern updates. Upstairs, two large double bedrooms and a good-sized single bedroom give flexibility for family living or a home office. The family shower room offers functional space but is ripe for refurbishment. Externally, the gardens frame the property beautifully; while the front is mainly block paved for parking, the larger rear garden awaits revitalisation—featuring mature borders and offering privacy. This property requires various upgrades but stands as a blank canvas ready to transform into an inviting home or rental investment in a sought-after location surrounded by essential amenities and schools.
