About
An immaculately presented three-bedroom detached home, occupying an attractive position within this popular development in the sought-after Leicestershire village of Bushby.
Beautifully styled and thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners, the property offers bright, contemporary accommodation, a superb kitchen/diner, generous rear garden, driveway and garage, making it an excellent choice for first-time buyers, growing families and those looking to upsize.
Location - Bushby is located approximately five miles east of Leicester, providing convenient access to the city’s professional quarters.
The village itself has a strong sense of community spirit centred around the Parish Church, popular village pub, and St Luke's primary school which filters into the renowned Gartree and Beauchamp Colleges at nearby Oadby.
The village is flanked by some of Leicestershire's most attractive rolling countryside, popular for local walks.
Accommodation - Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hallway immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home.
Stylish wood panelling adds character, complemented by parquet-style flooring which continues through into the dining kitchen.
A staircase leads to the first-floor, with a useful understairs storage cupboard beneath.
The sitting room is a beautifully presented and inviting space, with a window to the front affording plenty of natural light. Soft carpeting and a neutral décor create a warm and comfortable setting.
Undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home is the superb open-plan dining kitchen, a wonderfully bright, spacious and sociable room that feels perfectly suited to modern-day living.
Finished in a stylish neutral palette, the kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary grey wall and base units, providing an excellent amount of storage and generous preparation space.
Integrated appliances include a Zanussi oven, extractor and fridge/freezer, together with a Neff dishwasher, while a sink with drainer completes the practical kitchen area.
The generous proportions of the room allow the kitchen to flow effortlessly into a substantial dining and entertaining space, with plenty of room for a large dining table without compromising the feeling of space.
The parquet-style flooring continues throughout, adding warmth and character while beautifully tying the room together. A particular highlight is the abundance of natural light.
Full-height glazing, windows and patio doors span much of the rear elevation, creating a wonderfully light and airy atmosphere and providing an attractive outlook across the garden.
With the doors open there is a fantastic connection between the house and outside.
A separate utility area provides additional storage and plumbing for a washing machine, helping to keep the main kitchen free from everyday clutter.
A ground-floor WC sits alongside and has been given its own stylish finish with sage-green wood panelling, a wash hand basin and WC.
Upstairs, the landing continues the attractive decorative theme with further wood panelling and benefits from a useful built-in storage cupboard.
The principal bedroom is a generous double positioned to the front of the property. It benefits from fitted sliding wardrobes providing excellent storage, in addition to a further overstairs cupboard.
The room also enjoys its own en-suite room, fitted with a WC, wash hand basin and double shower enclosure with partial tiling.
Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double overlooking the rear garden, offering plenty of space for freestanding bedroom furniture.
Bedroom three, also positioned to the rear, provides a versatile additional room. Currently arranged as an impressive dressing room/walk-in wardrobe.
Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a modern white suite comprising a WC, wash hand basin and bath with shower over.
Outside - Set back from the road towards the end of the development, the property enjoys an attractive position with established greenery nearby.
To the front is a tandem driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles and access to a single garage with power and lighting.
