About
This charming three bedroom semi-detached family home has obviously been very much loved and cared for by the current owners who have created a light, spacious and versatile home situated within a sought after residential area.
Situated to the north of the city of Leicester between Glenfield to the west and Anstey to the north and Birstall to the east the home is conveniently located for a wide variety of local amenities.
Supermarkets, smaller shops and services as well as medical and leisure facilities are all in close proximity.
For commuters the A46 and nearby M1 are readily accessible for those travelling in various directions.
The accommodation itself has been significantly improved by the owners during their time there and has been extended to the rear in the form of a tiled roof conservatory which also has a useful ground floor WC.
Access to the property is via a front door that opens into a porch area and through a second door that leads into the lounge.
The lounge is filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a large window to the front elevation.
The main focal point of the room is a gas fire that sits within a feature fireplace on a central chimney breast.
The lounge also accommodates the stairs that rise to the first floor landing and a useful under stairs storage cupboard. An open archway from the lounge leads through to the kitchen diner.
The kitchen area has been refitted during the owner’s time there and comprises an extensive range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a composite sink and drainer.
There is an integral hob, built-in electric oven and microwave as well as a dishwasher with space for a fridge/freezer.
The dining area has ample space for a table and chairs with a set of sliding patio doors that open to the conservatory.
The conservatory provides further reception space and is used as a garden sitting room. The tiled roof has two skylight windows with French doors that give access to the garden.
The conservatory could be used as a playroom or even a work space if required. Off the conservatory is a ground floor WC and wash hand basin.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generous double room and benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes, drawers and overhead storage.
Bedrooms Two and Three are not currently used as bedrooms and are set up as offices and workspaces, again highlighting the home's versatility.
However, both bedrooms are good sizes with both enjoying built-it storage units and cupboards.
Finally, there is a family bathroom which features a three-piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and a wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity/storage unit.
The front of the home is off a pedestrian walkway with the garage and driveway toward the rear of the property and accessed via a specialist parking area shared with neighbouring houses.
The home has an attractive kerb appeal with an artificial lawn with tiled pathway leading up to the front door.
At the rear is a pleasant and relatively low maintenance garden with a tiled patio area with several distinct seating areas.
There is again a section of artificial lawn, a timber-built summerhouse and a personal door through to a detached garage with light and power and an remote operated roller main door that opens to a driveway.
This really is a delightful home that offers wide ranging appeal and internal viewing is very much recommended.
