Shanklin Drive, South Knighton, Leicester

This traditional semi-detached home in South Knighton occupies a generous plot with an established rear garden and offers excellent scope for extension to the side and rear, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The property provides well-proportioned accommodation requiring some modernisation, making it ideal for those seeking a home they can update to their own style. The ground floor includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, a useful garden room, and a ground floor shower room. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC.

Outside, the home benefits from a driveway to the front and side providing off-road parking, a garage to the rear, and a larger-than-average mature rear garden — perfect for families, gardeners or anyone looking for outdoor space.

South Knighton is well placed for access to everyday amenities and services, including highly regarded schooling such as Overdale Infant and Junior Schools, nursery day-care, and local shops and cafés found along Queens Road in neighbouring Clarendon Park. Leicester City Centre, the University of Leicester, Leicester Royal Infirmary, and Leicester General Hospital are all easily accessible, as is nearby Knighton Park.
