Description
This two-bedroom semi-detached dormer bungalow is offered with no upward chain and has a flexible arrangement, with bedrooms on both floors and a ground-floor dining room that has previously served as a bedroom. The lounge and dining room connect through a wide opening, while the fitted kitchen leads to a sun room and a further garden room with doors opening onto the rear garden.
The ground floor also includes a double bedroom and a bathroom. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a wash basin area. The property has gas central heating and double glazing, along with a driveway and garage.
The rear garden includes a lawn, mature planting and a seating area. The listing notes scope to extend, subject to the necessary permissions. Shops, supermarkets and parks are described as being within walking distance, with road links towards Leicester, Fosse Park, Oadby Racecourse and the wider motorway network. The home offers scope for updating and for a buyer to consider how best to use its existing layout.

Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a usable, well-kept canvas in a sought-after Oadby setting, with a generous garden, driveway and garage adding practical appeal. The interior finishes are dated, so there is scope for a light cosmetic refresh; the flexible dining-room layout and the distinctive pink-tiled bathroom with burgundy suite give buyers clear ways to put their own stamp on it. The listing also describes potential to extend, subject to permissions and feasibility checks.
At £300,000, the asking price is about 11% above the local £/sqf benchmark, so price is a constraint rather than a value advantage. Once the purchase and refurbishment are considered together, costs also look tight against local benchmarks; this is a more compelling project for someone who values the location and plot than for a buyer relying on a strong margin.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated interior finishes while keeping the rooms usable during a light cosmetic project.
- Explore the dining room's potential to return to bedroom use, checking what alterations would be needed.
- Make the most of the generous garden, driveway and garage, with possible extension potential subject to permissions and feasibility.
