Description

Positioned just off Colby Drive in the popular village of Thurmaston, this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers a straightforward layout and excellent potential for modernisation throughout.

Set back from the road, the property includes a lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom, along with a driveway, semi-detached garage and additional parking to the side. The interior is ready to be updated, with a new owner putting their own stamp on a home with great potential.

The rear garden is of a good size and has been mostly laid to patio and gravel with a few established plants.

This is an ideal opportunity for buyers seeking a project - whether to renovate for personal use, downsize and tailor to taste, or invest for resale or rental. Located close to local amenities, bus routes, and with food access to Leicester and surrounding areas, the property sits in a convenient and well-connected residential setting.

Entrance Hall

The entrance hall is fitted with laminate flooring and provides access to a semi-boarded loft via a ceiling hatch. An airing cupboard houses the combi boiler and offers useful space for storing coats and shoes or household items.

Kitchen

The kitchen includes a range of wall and base units, a 1.5 bowl sink, space for an electric oven, a 4-ring hob, and plumbing for a washing machine or dishwasher. It is fully tiled on the walls with laminate flooring, and benefits from both side and rear aspect windows. A rear door leads out to the garden. While functional, the kitchen could benefit from modernisation.

Lounge

A good sized lounge featuring an ornamental gas fire with a brick surround and tiled mantelpiece. Sliding doors open to the rear garden, and two radiators are in place. The room is usable as is but offers scope for updating.

Bedroom One

Front-facing double bedroom with a window and radiator. In fair condition and could benefit from cosmetic improvement.

Bedroom Two

A second front aspect bedroom with a window and radiator. Also could benefit a decorative updating.

Bathroom

The bathroom currently comprises a bath with electric shower over, WC, sink, radiator and a side frosted window. Tiling is present around the bath area. While in need of a renovation, the bathroom could easily be converted into a wetroom for accessible living, or refurbished with a new bathroom suite.

Driveway & Parking

The property includes a semi-detached garage located to the front, with a parking space in front of it. There is also additional off-road parking to the side of the bungalow.

Rear Garden

The rear garden is mostly laid to patio and gravel, with some established greenery. It provides a perfect canvas for future landscaping or improvement.
