4 bed semi-detached house for sale

High Leys Drive, Oadby LE2

Positioned on a generous south-facing plot in one of Oadby’s most popular residential enclaves, this beautifully extended three/four bedroom semi-detached home merges family practicality with architectural finesse. Thoughtfully reconfigured and flooded with natural light, it offers a rare combination of scale, flexibility, and considered design. Positioned within easy reach of Oadby Parade’s array of shops and amenities, and within the catchment for Beauchamp College, Gartree High School and Manor High School.

The ground-floor extension is a masterstroke of spatial planning. A wrap-around scheme opens the home to the garden, creating a luminous kitchen-diner that is as functional as it is beautiful. Light pours through bi-fold doors, skylights, and a striking floor-to-ceiling garden-facing window, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. The kitchen itself is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary units, roll-edge work surfaces, and integrated appliances, including a discreet American-style fridge freezer. Adjacent, a thoughtfully arranged utility space maintains the home’s streamlined aesthetic while offering practical service areas. Where the original kitchen once stood, a versatile room now serves as a study, complete with a ground-floor WC. Its adaptable layout allows for a fourth bedroom, snug, or second reception, ensuring the home can evolve with the lifestyle of its occupants. The living room is a dual-aspect space designed for both sociability and relaxation. Sliding doors open directly to the rear garden, while a feature wood-burning stove forms a striking focal point. Here, natural light, proportion, and understated detailing combine to create a space that feels generous and calm.

Upstairs, three spacious double bedrooms occupy the first floor, an unusual configuration for a semi-detached property, each arranged to maximise light and views. The principal and rear-facing bedroom look out over the garden, while the second bedroom commands a street-facing aspect. A third double bedroom completes the first floor, all serviced by a fully tiled family shower room, complete with a corner cubicle, low-flush WC, and pedestal basin, finished in a palette of clean, timeless finishes.

Externally, the property offers a generous driveway for two vehicles and a rear garden designed for family life and entertaining. A paved patio leads onto a broad lawn, with additional paved areas ideal for pots and planting, while mature boundaries ensure privacy. Despite the scale of the extension, the garden retains a sense of proportion and tranquility, with potential for further enlargement subject to planning consent. This home is an exemplar of light, space, and architectural clarity. Every corner has been carefully considered to deliver maximum flexibility without compromising style.
