Description
This detached two-bedroom house is offered with no upward chain and sits in a cul-de-sac in Wigston. The accommodation includes a lounge opening through an archway to a separate dining room, a long kitchen with access to the rear garden, two bedrooms and a shower room. The main bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a door to the garden. A driveway and attached garage provide off-road parking and storage, while the enclosed rear garden has a lawn, patio and established planting.
The house would benefit from updating, and the existing arrangement may offer scope to adapt the living space to suit a buyer's needs. Local shops, supermarkets, cafés and other amenities are nearby, with road and public transport links towards Leicester, Fosse Park and the motorway network.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
There’s a useful canvas here: the lounge and dining room already connect through a wide opening, so the layout could be refreshed without losing their separate character. The dated finishes across the rooms shown offer scope for a cosmetic update, while the maintained garden, driveway and garage add practical appeal. The kitchen and shower room also offer options to update, though the photos don’t establish that both need full replacement.
The main drawback is the price: at £250,000, the asking figure is about 13% above the local average per square foot. Even with the relatively light refurb, the asking price plus the £8,500–£16,000 works range leaves the likely spend stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of renovated value. Overall, this is a flexible project in a convenient setting, but the current price and economics make it a low-opportunity buy.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated decoration and flooring across the living areas and bedrooms.
- Rework the connected lounge and dining space to suit a more contemporary layout.
- Make selective updates to the kitchen and shower room, with the garden, driveway and garage providing useful existing assets.
Key risks
- At the asking price, adding the indicated refurbishment budget leaves the total spend stretched against the local benchmark for a home of this floor area.
- Worth allowing for £262,250 all-in — £12,250 of works on top of the asking price, about 16% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size; we have not assumed a post-renovation resale figure.
