But that also means it is ripe for a personal project, and a golden opportunity for the right buyer to put their stamp on it.
Situated in a quiet, sought-after location on Hillsway Crescent, it is a four-bedroom, detached property that is being marketed by Open House Estate Agents for offers in the region of £300,000. Enticingly, there is no upward chain.
Hillsway Crescent is close to Sheepbridge Lane and The Oakham local nature reserve, while the house falls within the catchment area for High Oakham School.
Our photo gallery underlines that the property is not looking its best at the moment. But at the same time, it conveys what a fantastic renovation or investment opportunity it represents.
The ground floor boasts two reception rooms, a hallway, a WC and three storage rooms. Upstairs, two of the four bedrooms are an amazing size, while the other two are a decent double and a single. There is also a bathroom and separate WC.
Outside, you will find a garage, driveway, pathway and rockery at the front, plus a large garden, mainly laid to lawn, at the back.

5. Downstairs toilet
The downstairs toilet is part of an area of the Hillsway Crescent property that also contains small storage rooms. The new owners might want to convert the area into one space.

It's not pretty to look at, but this second small storage room downstairs serves a purpose.

8. Master bedroom
Up the stairs, and how about this for a good-sized master bedroom, complete with fireplace? The large bay windows overlook the front of the property.
