This four-bedroom semi-detached dormer bungalow in Leicester Forest East, Leicestershire, is presented for sale at £274,950. The property, as showcased in the provided photographs, displays a distinctly retro aesthetic. The interior features dated decor and fixtures, including wood panelling, older carpets, and vintage bathroom fittings. A thorough renovation would be necessary to modernize the property and enhance its appeal to contemporary buyers.

The bungalow’s layout includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen and bathrooms, in particular, exhibit the property’s age and require updating. However, the kitchen does offer a decent amount of space and the inclusion of built-in appliances suggests practicality.

One of the property’s key strengths is the presence of a substantial rear garden. This is a significant feature, providing significant outdoor space, perfect for families or those who value ample green space. The garden is well-established with mature planting, a pond feature, and a shed; although the shed appears to be in need of some attention.

The location of the property in Leicester Forest East offers a reasonable balance between suburban tranquility and convenient access to amenities. Good primary schools and transport links to Leicester and Narborough are beneficial.

Considering the location, the substantial garden, and the number of bedrooms, the asking price appears to be a reasonable reflection of the property’s current state. However, potential buyers should be prepared for the costs associated with renovation to bring the property up-to-date, as currently it is in need of significant updating. Buyers should account for this in their overall assessment of the property and its value proposition.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
