Station Lane, Scraptoft, LE7

Set on a generous plot in the highly sought after village of Scraptoft, this detached bungalow presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to create a home tailored entirely to their own taste. Requiring a programme of modernisation throughout, the property offers excellent proportions, a flexible layout and enormous scope to renovate.

Whether you are searching for your forever bungalow, a rewarding renovation project or an investment in a prime residential location, this is a property with exciting potential.

The accommodation centres around a spacious lounge diner, flooded with natural light from windows to both the front and side elevations. The adjoining kitchen enjoys direct access to the rear garden and provides an excellent opportunity to create a stylish open plan family space, should a purchaser wish.

There are two generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite wet room. A separate family bathroom completes the internal accommodation.

Outside is where this home truly comes into its own. Occupying a generous plot, the garden presents a wonderful blank canvas for the next owner. Established planting, patios, raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse and workshop all remain in place, offering the foundations for an exceptional outdoor space. There is ample off road parking together with a detached garage. A particularly useful feature is the additional vehicular access to the rear of the property via Springbrook Drive, providing excellent practicality and further flexibility for future landscaping, garaging or improvement works.

Location is another major attraction. Scraptoft continues to be one of Leicester's most desirable villages, offering the perfect balance of peaceful surroundings and everyday convenience. Highly regarded primary schooling is close by, Leicester General Hospital is only a short drive away, and Leicester city centre is easily accessible, making this an ideal location for families, professionals and those looking to enjoy village living without sacrificing connectivity. Countryside walks, local amenities and a welcoming community all add to the area's enduring appeal.

Properties with this level of potential, generous garden and detached accommodation are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Offered to the market with no upward chain, this is a rare opportunity to create something truly special in one of Leicestershire's most sought after village locations.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING CHECKS

 In accordance with Anti Money Laundering laws including the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, The Terrorism Act 2000, The Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and the Bribery Act 2010 we are required to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all clients selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Hipla via their online portal once you have had an offer accepted on a property. The cost of these checks is £25 (incl. VAT) per person, which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us issuing a memorandum of sale, directly to Hipla, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Hipla to compensate for our role in the provision of these checks.
