This substantially extended four bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous plot within a sought after residential area within walking distance of Knighton Park. The property is offered with no upward chain and does require comprehensive refurbishment and modernisation throughout. However, consequently, it provides any potential buyer the scope to add significant and immediate value. There is no doubt once restored to former glory this property will make a fantastic family home. The property is conveniently located for a wide range of amenities, with supermarkets, DIY stores and a selection of smaller shops and services all close by. To add to this there are leisure and medical facilities all readily accessible. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city of Leicester and to Junction 21 of the M1/M69.

The accommodation itself includes an entrance porch which in turn leads into an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and a useful understairs storage cupboard. Doors from the entrance hall lead through to both reception rooms and the kitchen.

The front reception room is probably best used as a lounge largely due to the fact it is the bigger of the two. There is a large bay window to the front elevation which fills the room with plenty of natural light.

The rear reception room is more likely to be used as a dining area. The room does benefit from a feature fireplace and has set of sliding patio doors that open to the garden.

The kitchen will require a total refit but does have a composite sink and drainer, an integral gas hob and built in electric oven. There is also a relatively modern boiler and a window to the rear elevation. A door from the kitchen provides access to the garage and a rear lobby area that in turn leads out to a WC.

To the first floor, previous to the extension over the garage there would have been two double bedrooms and a small box room. Post extension the two original double bedrooms are as they were. The first enjoying the bay window to the front and the second bedroom overlooking the garden. Both of these bedrooms have wall recesses that could be used to build in fitted wardrobes if desired.

The third box room has been enlarged creating a superb 'L' double room with two windows to the front. There is ample room for a range of bedroom furniture. The fourth bedroom, situated behind the extension to bedroom three and is a versatile space that could equally be used as an office space for those working from home or even a dressing room.

Finally, there is a family bathroom which is a good size and comprises a bath, low flush WC and wash hand basin but like the kitchen will need updating.

To the front of the home, a driveway provides off-road parking. Adjacent to the drive is a front garden made up of shingle and therefore provides options to increase the size of the driveway if required.

At the rear is a generous family garden which has a paved patio seating area with a step down to a large lawn. The plot would allow for further extension without compromising too much of the outside space and currently is relatively low maintenance. Like the house, the garden, could also become a fabulous family space.

Like many similar homes that need renovation the buzzword is potential. This property has potential in abundance but internal viewing is required to truly understand the space provided and the project to be undertaken.
