This remarkable four bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous plot that backs out onto open fields at the rear. The property has been substantially extended, comprehensively improved and finished to the highest of standards to create a stunning and enviable family home. Situated within a highly sought after residential area, the home is within easy reach of a wide range of local amenities including supermarkets, local eateries, medical and leisure facilities. For commuters the home is ideally positioned for the A6, taking you directly to Leicester city centre, and for those travelling further the A46 and M1 are readily accessible. The extensions to both side and rear accommodate a feature kitchen diner, ground floor WC and separate utility room on the ground floor, as well an additional bedroom and shower room on the first floor. The home is spacious, versatile and will appeal to a wide array of potential buyers.
Access to the property is via a porch, a further addition made by the current owners, and on into an entrance hall which has stairs rising to the first floor landing and a useful under stairs cupboard. Doors from the entrance hall open to the lounge and kitchen diner.
The lounge is a wonderful reception area filled with plenty of natural light due to a large bow window to the front elevation. The main focal point of the room is a fantastic feature fireplace which is set onto an angled chimney breast, often found in these Jelson built homes of the period. A large open arch way leads through to what would have been a dining area but following the extension, this is now a versatile space that could be used as a playroom, a snug or even an office/study space if required.
The kitchen diner is an impressive space and would be at the centre of family life. Natural light comes into the space via a set of French patio doors that open to the garden, a window to the rear and two skylights in the pitched roof. There are extensive base and wall mounted fitted storage and display units with roll-edge work surfaces and a composite sink and drainer. The is space for a range cooker, integral dishwasher and space for an American style fridge/freezer. In addition, there is ample space for a large table and chairs.
Off the kitchen there is a separate utility room which has further storage cupboards, work surface and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The utility room also offers access, to a ground floor WC and garage store room. There is also a back door which provides alternative access to the back garden.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a spacious double room which benefits from a wall off fitted wardrobes and drawers. The second bedroom is also a well-proportioned double room which enjoys views over the garden. This room has a built-in airing cupboard which accommodates the boiler, which is only three years old and still has 7 years of its warranty remaining. The third bedroom was created through extension over the garage and is a single bedroom with a recess behind the door which neatly fits a freestanding wardrobe. The fourth bedroom, also a single, was the former box room. Certainly the two smaller bedrooms have the versatility to be used as dressing rooms or office spaces if not required as bedrooms day-to-day.
Also on the first floor, is a family bathroom and an additional shower room, again created as part of the extension work. The bathroom has been refitted to include a contemporary three piece white suite comprising a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity unit. The shower room is fully tiled and has a large corner shower cubicle, a loo and another wash hand basin.
The quality of presentation and finish internally is echoed outside. To the front of the home a block paved driveway provides off-road parking for at least two vehicles. The back garden, however, is staggeringly beautiful. As you exit the French doors of the kitchen you access a raised decked seating area and dining area. There is a pergola structure which offers a covered seating space with further space for an outside dining set. A set of steps lead down to a section of lawn, with a further paved patio seating space. The lawn is flanked by mature trees and planted borders containing a variety of flora.
A further timber-built structure crosses a dry creek in the garden and leads to a second area of lawn, again with planted borders either side, giving the garden privacy and seclusion. Two large storage sheds provide further storage space. The garden really is a picture and is a delight to behold.
This really is a fabulous home, which has obviously been well loved and cared for. Internal viewing is essential to appreciate the space, quality of finish and the majestic outside space.
