About
A fabulous opportunity to purchase this charming Edwardian semi-detached family home, ideally positioned on the sought-after "Avenue’ in Blaby.
Retaining many original features, the property offers beautifully proportioned accommodation, high ceilings and a generous plot with scope for further extension, subject to planning consent.
An internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate this wonderful home.
Entering through the pretty stained-glass front door, the welcoming hallway features attractive tiled flooring, stairs rising to the first floor and access to the main living accommodation.
The generous living room is a cosy and inviting space with a beautiful fireplace.
The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen diner, filled with natural light from the bi-folding doors opening onto the garden.
The kitchen has been fitted with shaker-style wall and base units, contrasting solid wood work surfaces, metro wall tiling and a Belfast sink.
There is space for a range cooker and American-style fridge freezer, whilst the breakfast bar provides a lovely space for informal dining and entertaining.
A separate formal dining room offers excellent flexibility and is currently used as a study. There is also a useful utility area and downstairs WC.
To the first floor are four bedrooms, three of which are generous doubles, with the fourth being a comfortable single. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area and en-suite shower room.
The family bathroom complements the character of the home, featuring a freestanding bath, pedestal wash hand basin, low-level WC and Victorian-style heated towel rail.
Externally, there is a gravel driveway to the front with double gates providing access to the rear garden.
There is also expired planning permission for a double garage, offering potential subject to any necessary consents.
The rear garden features a patio, lawn and a variety of established fruit trees, together with a timber summer house currently used as a gym.
