4 bed detached house for sale

Asquith Boulevard, Leicester, Leicestershire LE2

This very well presented and impressively spacious four bedroom detached family home occupies a generous South facing plot within a sought after residential area on the Knighton/Wigston border. The heart of the home is the beautifully extended kitchen, opening into a bright sunroom with a solid insulated roof, creating a versatile family living space with direct access to the garden. The property is offered with no upward chain and is well placed for a plethora of local amenities. Large supermarkets, smaller shops, services and eateries as well as leisure and medical centres are all within a short drive or bus ride away. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city of Leicester whilst the home itself provides plenty of options to create office space for those who work from home. For those with children the home is within the catchment for the highly regarded Overdale Junior and Infant school.

Access to the home is via a front door that opens firstly to a porch and then on into a welcoming entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor landing and a useful ground floor WC. Doors from the hallway lead through to the lounge and kitchen.

The lounge is spacious with ample room for large sofas as well as freestanding storage and display furniture. The room is filled with plenty of natural light thanks to large window to the front elevation. The main focal point of the room is a fabulous feature fireplace in which sits a living flame gas fire. A wide, open archway leads through to a dining area, which can comfortably accommodate a large table and chairs, ideal for family meals and entertaining friends. A set of glazed sliding doors open to a fantastic sun room and gives the home a third reception area.

The sun room enjoys views of the garden and has recently been improved through the replacement of the old plastic roof in favour of a fully tiled and insulated one. This upgrade means the sun room has become a more year round useable room. The space is versatile and could be used as a second sitting room, a play or games room for children or even a work/office space. The sun room also connects through to the extended part of the kitchen where a back door provides access to the garden.

The kitchen itself has been replaced so recently that the integrated appliances are yet to be used. The kitchen comprises an extensive range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with square-edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink and drainer. There is an integrated gas hob with extractor over, built-in mid-level electric oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. In addition, there is space and plumbing for a washing machine.

To the first floor, all four bedrooms benefit from some form of fitted or built-in wardrobe/storage space. The principal bedroom is the largest of the four and has a window to the front elevation. The second bedroom enjoys views over the garden and the third bedroom is also a double room positioned above the garage. The fourth bedroom is presented as a single bedroom and offers the flexibility to be used as an office or study space if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

The bedrooms are serviced by a refitted family bathroom which has a three-piece white suite including a bath with mains shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity unit. Matt black taps and shower fittings add a modern feel and an eye-catching finish.

To the front of the home a driveway provides ample off-road parking as well as direct car access to the garage. The garage has light and power and also accommodates the boiler. If not used for parking the garage provides additional storage and utility space. There is also secure gated side access to the rear.

At the rear is a superb South facing family garden which has a paved patio seating area, a section of lawn flanked on both side by planted borders and paths connecting to a further seating area at the back of the garden. In addition, there is also a timber-built storage shed. The garden is an excellent space to for adults to entertain and children to play and is large enough for further extension if desired and subject to local planning.

This is a wonderful home which is ready to be moved into and immediately enjoyed. Occupying a superb plot and in a desirable area, internal viewing is highly recommended.
