Description

Offered at auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached house is set on a generous plot within walking distance of Knighton Park. The property is being sold with no upward chain and requires renovation and modernisation. Its existing accommodation and large rear garden provide scope to consider improvements, although any extension or outbuilding would be subject to the necessary checks and approvals. A porch leads into the entrance hall, with stairs to the first floor and access to the lounge and kitchen-diner. The lounge has a front bay window and a brick fireplace with a gas fire. The kitchen and dining area are open to one another, with fitted wall and base units, a cooker space, plumbing for a washing machine and sliding doors to the garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with fitted storage, a further single bedroom and a wet room with shower, WC and wash basin. Outside, a driveway provides off-road parking, with gated side access to the rear garden. The listing describes the rear garden as requiring extensive clearing and notes potential for an extension or outbuilding, subject to verification. Local shops, services, leisure and medical facilities are a short drive away. Wigston High Street, bus routes and South Wigston railway station provide further local amenities and transport connections, with road links towards Leicester.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

70out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a good-value project: the £180,000 asking price works out at £203 per sq ft, around 29% below the local average. The three-bedroom semi has a bay-fronted living room, a generous plot, driveway parking and a rear garden with room to make more of once it is cleared. It is within walking distance of Knighton Park, with local amenities and Leicester road links also noted in the listing.

The interiors offer a clear medium-scale improvement brief: refresh the dated finishes and flooring, tackle the visibly damaged or unfinished section beneath the kitchen worktop, and clear and improve the garden. The listing also suggests extension or outbuilding possibilities, though these would need their own feasibility checks; no major structural failure is apparent in the submitted photographs.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated decoration and flooring across the observed living spaces and bedrooms.
  • Rework the dated kitchen, including addressing the damaged or unfinished area beneath the worktop.
  • Clear and improve the substantial rear garden; the listing also identifies possible extension or outbuilding scope, subject to feasibility and permissions.
