Houghton-On-The-Hill

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Houghton-on-the-Hill, this three-bedroom end-terraced home offers an appealing blend of privacy, space, and future potential. The property sits behind an attractive, well-established front garden filled with mature planting, giving it a warm and welcoming feel from the moment you arrive. While the house does not have its own allocated parking space, the cul-de-sac provides plenty of parking provision for residents, making day-to-day parking straightforward.

Inside, the layout is bright and comfortable. The living/dining room benefits from excellent natural light through a large bay window overlooking the front garden, and the open fireplace adds a charming focal point. Off the dining area, the conservatory provides a versatile additional space — ideal for hobbies, a plant-filled seating area, or simply somewhere to enjoy garden views in the warmer months. The kitchen is a generous size at the rear of the home, fitted with an integrated gas hob and electric ovens, and offering space for freestanding appliances. It’s practical and well-laid-out, with good potential for future updating.

Upstairs, the property offers two generous double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a comfortable single bedroom, well-suited for a child’s room or home office. The family bathroom includes a bath with shower over, a pedestal handwash basin and WC and serves all three bedrooms.
While the home would now benefit from modernisation, it offers a solid 1960s build with gas central heating via a combi boiler (approximately 10 years old) and an EPC rating of C — providing a sound starting point for buyers looking to make the home their own.

The garden is a standout feature. Measuring approximately 355 m², it is significantly larger than average and offers tremendous potential. The first section, adjoining the house, includes a patio for outdoor dining, a smaller lawn, mature flowerbed borders, and two brick outbuildings perfect for garden tools or storage. An older shed constructed from asbestos is also present, which prospective buyers should note. Beyond this, the garden opens into a substantial lawned area with two apple trees and mature shrubs. With no homes directly behind and the village tennis club courts forming the rear boundary, the garden is exceptionally private and peaceful.

Houghton-on-the-Hill is a vibrant community with local shops, post office, pub, hairdresser, pharmacy, well-regarded primary school, and links to Gartree and Beauchamp Colleges in nearby Oadby. Leicester city centre is around seven miles away, providing convenient commuting options.

This property represents an exciting opportunity for first-time buyers or young families seeking generous outdoor space, a friendly village setting, and the chance to modernise a home to suit their own taste and lifestyle over time.

In accordance with current legal requirements, all prospective purchasers are required to undergo an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) check. An administration fee of £40 per property will apply.
