Description
This impressive LE4 bungalow is presented with fresh, modern decor throughout, a recently installed combi boiler and new radiators, a modern re-fitted kitchen and a modern family bathroom.
The property, in brief, comprises a porch area into a spacious hallway, and this moves through to a stunning, extended living and dining area which provides lots of reception space for all the family, and has doors out to the rear garden that let in lots of natural light. There is a modern re-fitted kitchen on offer, with plenty of storage and space for appliances. The bungalow offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, one to the front of the home and one overlooking the rear garden that also has fitted wardrobes. Additionally, there is an impressive modern family bathroom, finished to a high standard.
Outside, the property is blessed with an abundance of off-road parking space - enough for up to six vehicles, in fact - with a large full-width driveway at the front of the bungalow and a further tandem driveway at the rear which leads to the single detached garage with a pitched roof for storage. Being a corner-plot bungalow, there is plenty of space to the side, and a generously-sized rear garden, which is very private with an artificial lawn and patio space - ideal for sitting out during the summer months!
Beacon Close is located in the extremely popular area of Anstey Heights in LE4, and has fantastic travel links, with a two-way bus route making it ideal for getting in and out of Leicester City Centre. Beaumont Leys shopping centre is in walking distance providing local amenities including a Tesco Extra Megastore, and a local market. There are also excellent primary and secondary schools in the immediate area.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
