This two bedroom semi-detached bungalow occupies a generous plot within a sought after residential area. Offered with no upward chain, the bungalow is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities, many of which are within walking distance. Large supermarkets, a variety of smaller shops, services and eateries along Oadby's main parade are all readily accessible and Oadby's medical and leisure centres are only a short drive or bus ride away. This accessibility will be ideal for those looking to downsize and wanting local facilities to be within easy reach. The accommodation itself has been well maintained and looked after but does require cosmetic modernisation. The size of the plot would also allow scope for extension, subject to local planning, and consequently any potential buyer will have the opportunity to add immediate and significant value either through updating, enlargement or a combination of both.<br/><br/>Access to the bungalow is via a main front door that opens to a small porch and in turn into an entrance hall. The hallway has a useful built-in storage/cloakroom cupboard and doors that open to both bedrooms, the bathroom, kitchen and lounge.<br/><br/>The lounge is a spacious dual aspect room with a large bay window to the front elevation and a window to the side that fills the space with plenty of natural light. The main focal point of the room is a ceramic tiled feature fireplace that is set onto a central chimney breast and could potentially accommodate a gas or electric fire, or even a wood burning stove. The lounge provides ample space for sofas, armchairs as well as freestanding storage and display furniture.<br/><br/>The kitchen is situated toward the rear of the bungalow with a window to the side elevation. There is a range of Limed Oak base and wall mounted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer. There is space for a cooker and fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. A back door provides access to the garden. The kitchen could easily be extended to create a dining area or a separate utility room which is commonly done in many similar homes of this type.<br/><br/>Beyond the kitchen is a coal shed which houses the boiler which was replaced in 2019.<br/><br/>The principal bedroom is adjacent to the lounge at the front of the home. A generous double room the main bedroom can comfortably accommodate freestanding wardrobes and drawers. The second bedroom is versatile and has a window that overlooks the garden to the rear. If the second bedroom is not required for its intended purpose day-to-day, many owners, in similar properties, use this space as a second reception room, and in many examples often fit doors that open to a conservatory or garden room.<br/><br/>Between the second bedroom and the kitchen is the bathroom. The bathroom comprises a three-piece suite to include a bath, with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.<br/><br/>To the front of the property a low walled, shingle based front garden is ideal for additional parking or for standing potted plants to further enhance the bungalow's kerb appeal. A hard standing driveway provides ample off-road parking and runs down the side of the bungalow toward the rear garden.<br/><br/>At the rear is an attractive, well-proportioned but relatively low maintenance garden with paved patio seating areas and a lawn that is flanked by a planted border. The garden also benefits from a timber-built storage shed. <br/><br/>This lovely bungalow offers huge future potential to any buyer. Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the space, the plot and location.<br/><br/> Oadby is a suburb situated to the South of Leicester City centre. With a number of high performing local schools Oadby has always been a highly sought after location. It has a parade of local shops coffee houses and eateries and there is also a supermarket in close proximity. Lying just off the A6 there are a number of excellent commuter links both in and out of the city an open countryside is never far away.<br/><br/>
