AI Summary
This is a spacious four-bedroom detached bungalow in a well-regarded Leicester suburb, priced broadly in line with the local comp median of £396,000 and presenting well from the exterior. The 1900–1929 solid brick construction means the property is likely to have higher heating costs than modern equivalents, and the EPC D rating reflects this — though improvements are achievable. At £400,000 the asking price appears fair rather than discounted, and buyers should commission a full structural survey given the build era before proceeding.
