Barkby Road, Leicester, LE4

Positioned just off Troon Way, this thoughtfully refurbished three-bedroom semi-detached house is presented to the market with no onward chain. Positioned within comfortable walking distance of the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir and a host of local amenities found along Gipsy Lane, the house offers a compelling opportunity for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a well-appointed addition to a buy-to-let portfolio, with an estimated rental yield of approximately £1,050 per calendar month.

The internal layout has been sensitively updated while retaining a sense of warmth and liveability. Entry is via a welcoming hallway which leads into a generous reception room positioned to the front of the house. A large bay window, fitted with double glazing, bathes the room in natural light, accentuated by recently laid laminate flooring and contemporary recessed spotlights, lending the space a clean, modern aesthetic. To the rear, the house opens up to an open-plan breakfast kitchen — a sociable and stylish hub of the home. Here, sleek eye-level and base cabinetry provide ample storage, while a four-ring gas hob with overhead extractor, a double AEG oven, and dedicated space for further appliances ensure functionality. Double-glazed windows frame leafy views over the extensive garden. The ground floor has also been reconfigured to include a newly fitted three-piece shower room, alongside a practical pantry space. The rear garden is of considerable length and predominantly laid to lawn, offering excellent potential for extension (subject to the necessary consents) or simply a verdant setting for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining.

Ascending to the first floor, a wide landing gives way to three bedrooms — two generous doubles and a comfortably sized third room, each fitted with new carpets and finished in a neutral palette. To the front of the property, a shared driveway with the adjoining house provides off-street parking for one vehicle. Prospective purchasers are advised to undertake their own due diligence in relation to the parking arrangements.

Immaculately presented and with the benefit of no onward chain, early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate both the quality of the refurbishment and the convenience of its location.
