Romway Road, Leicester, LE5

Occupying a substantial plot within a highly sought after residential location, this attractive bay fronted semi detached home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property that has been lovingly maintained by the same family for many years.

Extended during previous ownership, the property offers generous and versatile accommodation throughout, including two spacious reception rooms, a separate dining room, sizable pantry, extended kitchen, downstairs WC, three well proportioned bedrooms, a large family bathroom with separate WC, extensive on road parking, off road parking for multiple vehicles and an exceptionally large garage. Character features remain evident throughout the home, from the original stained glass windows and mosaic tiles to the bay frontage and traditional layout.

While the property would now benefit from a programme of modernisation, it provides an excellent blank canvas for a new owner to create their ideal family home. With the size of the plot, substantial garage and neighbouring examples nearby, there is clear scope for further extension or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents.

The generous rear garden, ample parking and highly regarded location combine to create a fantastic opportunity for families, upsizers and buyers looking for a home they can truly make their own.
