3 Bedroom Semi Detached House, Shanklin Drive, South Knighton, Leicester
Shanklin Drive, South Knighton, Leicester
Description
This traditional semi-detached home in South Knighton occupies a generous plot with an established rear garden and offers excellent scope for extension to the side and rear, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
The property provides well-proportioned accommodation requiring some modernisation, making it ideal for those seeking a home they can update to their own style. The ground floor includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, a useful garden room, and a ground floor shower room. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC.
Outside, the home benefits from a driveway to the front and side providing off-road parking, a garage to the rear, and a larger-than-average mature rear garden — perfect for families, gardeners or anyone looking for outdoor space.
