2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Featherstone Drive, Leicester, Leicestershire LE2

This two bedroom semi-detached home is offered with no upward chain and occupies a plot within a popular residential area. The home faces out onto Featherstone Drive Open Space and which is adjacent to the Grand Union canal towpath and is ideal for dog walkers, runners and as a children's play space. The home is in close proximity to a wide range of local amenities with both Blaby and South Wigston only a short drive away as well as the larger stores and leisure facilities offered by Fosse Park. The home itself does require modernisation and refurbishment throughout but does provide any buyer the potential to add immediate and significant value.

The accommodation includes an entrance area which has the stairs rising to the first floor and a door through to the home's lounge.

The lounge is a generous space with a window to the front elevation. There is an older gas fire set into an exposed brick fireplace. A door provides access to a useful under stairs storage cupboard with a further door opening to the kitchen.

The kitchen spans the full width of the home to the rear. Although, most buyer will look to update the existing kitchen there is a base and wall mounted unit with roll-edge work surfaces. There is a further unit with stainless steel sink and drainer. In addition, there is space for a cooker, freestanding fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. There is also a built-in storage cupboard and a back door that opens to the garden.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a spacious double room with a window that overlooks the green open space off Featherstone Drive. There is a built-in over stairs storage cupboard as well as a range of fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom overlooks the garden and again benefits from built-in wardrobe and cupboard space.

Finally, there is a wet room which comprises a three piece suite to include a shower area, low flush WC and wall-mounted wash hand basin.

To the front of the home the is a pebbled front garden that really should be transformed into some form of driveway. This would require an application to the local council to drop the kerb but it is something many of the neighbouring properties have already done. Currently there is on-street parking with Featherstone Drive having a number of parking bays along the road.

At the rear is a relatively low maintenance garden with a paved patio seating area and section of lawn enclosed by tall timber panel fencing. There is a brick built outbuilding that provides useful storage for garden equipment and tools.

This is a home that certainly requires updating but packed with potential and ready for a buyer to make their own. Internal viewing is recommended.
