3 bed detached house for sale

Scraptoft Lane, Humberstone, Leicester LE5

Set back from the road behind a wrap-around driveway, this handsome detached home, built circa 1910–1920, immediately gives a sense of space and presence, with mature greenery framing the approach and a generous frontage leading to the garage.

Stepping inside, the hallway forms a welcoming central spine to the home, naturally guiding you through to the principal reception spaces. To the front, the living room is a particularly inviting setting, well-proportioned and filled with natural light from the large bay window, with a feature fireplace adding a sense of character and warmth. Adjacent to this, the separate dining room reflects the same bay-fronted design, creating a balanced and elegant space that works equally well for everyday use or more formal dining.

To the rear, the kitchen opens out into a generous dining area, providing a more relaxed and sociable part of the home with beautiful views over the garden and direct access outside.
There is a good amount of space here to accommodate both a practical kitchen layout and a family dining setup, making it well suited to day-to-day living as well as hosting. Just off the kitchen, a separate utility room offers useful additional storage and workspace, helping to keep the main kitchen area clear and organised, while also providing internal access through to the garage. A ground floor WC completes the layout on this level.

Upstairs, the landing continues the sense of space, leading to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous in size, while the second bedroom, also benefiting from a bay window, offers another comfortable double. The third bedroom provides versatility depending on requirements, whether as a bedroom, study or dressing room. The family bathroom is notably spacious and offers scope for updating or reconfiguring to suit modern preferences.

To the rear, the garden is a standout feature, extending to a good depth and mainly laid to lawn, with established hedging and mature trees creating a private and enclosed setting. It offers plenty of room for outdoor seating, play areas or further landscaping, depending on how it is to be enjoyed.

Overall, this is a home that stands out for both its presence and potential, set on a generous plot with a striking wrap-around driveway that not only enhances its kerb appeal but also provides extensive parking and a real sense of arrival. The proportions throughout are excellent, offering a layout that is both practical and versatile, while still leaving plenty of scope for a new owner to make their mark.

Whether through thoughtful modernisation or future extension STPP, the property presents an exciting opportunity to create a truly impressive long-term family home.
