Balfour Street, Leicester, LE3

Offered with no upward chain, this traditional semi detached home oozes a contemporary feel having undergone an extensive program of refurbishment by the current owner which must be viewed in person to be fully appreciated. Featuring replaced windows throughout, upgraded consumer unit and a renewed gas central heating system, the property in our opinion is somewhat larger than the exterior would suggest with a mix of modern comforts and character features including a fireplace, picture rails and high ceilings. Laid out over two floors, the layout includes an entrance hallway, open plan lounge diner, ground floor wc and modern fitted kitchen. Upstairs you will find three neutrally decorated bedrooms and a contemporary shower room. Outside there is a low maintenance courtyard to the rear. Within walking distance to local amenities as well as being conveniently positioned for access into the city centre, an early viewing is highly recommended.
