Set along Hinckley Road in Leicester Forest East, this three-bedroom detached home offers a brilliant opportunity for someone looking to create something special over time.
From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of space. A generous driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a single garage, and the bay-fronted façade gives the home real presence.
Step through the front porch, where you’ll find original floor tiling, and then into the main entrance hall through a stained-glass door with matching side panels, a lovely touch that gives a nod to the home’s character.
Inside, the layout is practical and well-proportioned. The front reception room features a bay window and offers a comfortable living space, while the second reception room at the rear is currently used as a dining room, with its own bay and direct access out to the garden, ideal for entertaining or family life.
The kitchen sits to the rear and offers a range of base and wall units, with a window overlooking the garden. From here, there’s access to a rear lobby which connects to a downstairs WC, additional storage, the garage, and the garden.
Upstairs, the property continues to offer a well-balanced layout. There are three bedrooms, including two doubles with fitted wardrobes, and a third single room that would work well as a bedroom, nursery or home office. The main bedroom benefits from a bay window to the front.
The bathroom arrangement is practical, with a separate WC and a separate shower room, both with natural light.
Outside, the rear garden is a real feature, mature, private, and filled with established trees and shrubs, along with two sheds and a lawned area. It’s the kind of space that could be transformed into something really special.
The property is double glazed throughout, and the boiler has been updated, meaning the focus here is largely cosmetic. For buyers with vision, this is where the opportunity really lies.
Hinckley Road is a well-connected location, within easy reach of local shops including the Co-op and post office, with a bus route right on the doorstep and the park and ride close by, offering straightforward access into Leicester city centre.
What really stands out here is the potential. Many homes along this stretch have been extended, whether to the rear or over the garage, and this property offers similar scope (subject to planning). For the right buyer, this could evolve into a substantial long-term family home.
Mum's house had been on the market for nearly a year with little interest. Chris had a proactive marketing approach and presented the house in a way that really played to its strengths. He arranged more viewings than other agents and negotiated a sale within 2 weeks. Highly professional service and we are very pleased with the outcome. Would definitely use his services again. Thank you Chris.
