4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Conaglen Road, Aylestone, Leicester LE2

Positioned within an established residential area of Aylestone and enjoying a particularly enviable rear aspect towards Aylestone Meadows, this substantially extended four-bedroom semi-detached family home offers far more accommodation than its traditional frontage might initially suggest.

The property has been thoughtfully altered over the years, with both a substantial rear addition and an impressive loft conversion creating a home arranged across three floors. Perhaps its most distinctive feature, however, is its position backing towards Aylestone Meadows, providing wonderful elevated views from the rear of the house and particularly from the top-floor principal bedroom and private balcony.

The accommodation begins with an attractive timber-framed entrance porch leading into the hallway. To the front is a comfortable bay-fronted lounge, where the large window provides plenty of natural light and a stone fireplace with inset gas fire creates a traditional focal point.

Moving towards the rear, the property opens into an impressive kitchen and dining space which feels noticeably more contemporary. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of Shaker-style cabinetry and generous work surfaces, complemented by space for an American-style fridge freezer and double oven, alongside provision for a dishwasher and a built-in wine cooler. Recessed lighting, decorative cornicing and a contemporary column radiator add further character, whilst there is ample room for a large dining table.

The kitchen flows naturally into the extended rear reception room. Originally constructed as a conservatory, this space has subsequently been substantially enclosed, bricked and plastered to create a far more conventional additional living area. The result is a bright and versatile family room with extensive glazing and direct access onto an elevated decked terrace.

On the first floor are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The front principal bedroom on this level benefits from a bay window and fitted wardrobes, whilst the second double bedroom enjoys an attractive outlook to the rear towards the Meadows. A third bedroom provides further flexible accommodation and could equally work well as a nursery or home office.

The family bathroom is generously appointed with both a freestanding bath and separate shower enclosure, complemented by tiled walls and flooring.

The second floor is where the property becomes particularly individual. The loft conversion has created an impressive principal bedroom suite measuring approximately 5.10m x 5.00m, providing a substantial private space away from the remainder of the bedrooms.

A rooflight above the bed introduces additional natural light, whilst fitted wardrobes and a vanity area provide useful storage. Within the bedroom itself is a freestanding bath positioned in front of the rear glazing, together with a rainfall-style shower, creating a striking feature within the room. A separate enclosed WC with wash hand basin provides additional practicality.

The standout feature is undoubtedly the rear of the suite, where bi-folding doors open onto a private balcony overlooking Aylestone Meadows. From this elevated position, the outlook stretches across mature trees and surrounding greenery, giving the top floor a sense of privacy and openness that is particularly unusual for a property in this location.

Outside, an elevated decked terrace immediately adjoining the rear living accommodation creates a natural space for outdoor seating and entertaining. Steps continue down into the main garden, which benefits enormously from its leafy backdrop and includes a substantial timber-built structure/outbuilding.

Combining traditional bay-fronted character with extensive modern additions, three floors of accommodation and an exceptional rear outlook, 41 Conaglen Road offers a particularly individual family home where the position overlooking Aylestone Meadows is every bit as impressive as the accommodation itself.

The kitchen flows through into the extended sun room/family room, creating a particularly generous ground-floor layout.

Extended Sun Room / Family Room (4.93m x 3.88m)

A fantastic addition to the rear of the property. This area was originally constructed as a conservatory but has subsequently been substantially enclosed, bricked and plastered to create a more conventional additional reception room.

Bedroom One (4.10m x 3.04m)

A generous double bedroom positioned to the front of the property and benefiting from a large bay window, which provides plenty of natural light.

Bedroom Two (3.83m x 3.32m)

The bedroom is exceptionally spacious and benefits from a rooflight positioned to the front elevation above the bed, allowing additional natural light into the room.

To the rear, bi-folding doors open onto a private balcony, creating a superb indoor/outdoor feel and taking full advantage of the property's elevated position. The balcony enjoys far-reaching views across the greenery and treetops of Aylestone Meadows, providing a particularly special feature that is rarely found in properties of this type.
