Homes Fit for Sporting Stars

Former Leicester City football manager Claudio Ranieri’s Stoneygate home has been attracting interest from around the globe since it was put on the market, but not everyone has £695,000 to spend. Thankfully, we have Leicester properties for sale that will allow you to enjoy aspects of a sporting star’s lifestyle even if your annual income is less than many top-flight footballers earn in a week.

Parking: If you want to live like a footballer, you’ve got to have plenty of parking at your home. You might not have a Lamborghini Aventador to park on the drive or a Range Rover Sport in the garage, but forget having to search for on-street parking at the end of a long day at work if you buy a property such as The Keep (Property reference 13037), a three-bedroom semi in Kirby Muxloe.

Garden: If you need somewhere to practise your ball control or a garden where your children can begin their own journey towards sporting stardom, you could check out the likes of a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dunster Street (Property reference 13336).

Location: Ranieri is said to have loved living in Stoneygate, but you need to pick exactly the right location for you if you want to enjoy your dream lifestyle. Your perfect home might be a three-bedroom end terrace home in Cooper Close in Ayleston (Property Reference: 12673) or an apartment in South Wigston (Property Reference: 12958).

Good transport links: If you’re going to live like a sporting star, you’ll have plenty of trips and holidays on your calendar. You’re not likely to have a helicopter parked in the garden, however, and so good transport links are essential. Fortunately, Leicester property is the ideal choice if you want ease of access to the rest of Britain – and the world as a whole.

Shopping: Another thing that Leicester has no shortage of is shops, whether you want to spend your wages on designer clothes and luxury homeware or grab lots of bargains in the likes of TK Maxx or Primark. You might not have the bank balance of a Premier league footballer, but that doesn’t mean you can’t shop ’till you drop if you want to.

Leisure facilities: Choose to live in Leicester and you’ll also never be short of leisure and sporting facilities. Some of the amenities on offer in the city include seven council leisure centres and no fewer than 11 football facilities.
