2, Wallace Drive, Loughborough, LE12 7SQ

If you are looking for a first home where the hard work has already been done, this superb two-bedroom semi-detached property deserves to be high on your viewing list.

Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded by the current owner, the house is immaculate throughout, with bright modern décor and a genuine move-straight-in feel.

What really separates it from similar homes, however, is the plot.

Occupying a generous corner position within a cul-de-sac, the property enjoys considerably more outside space than you would normally expect from a two-bedroom home.

There is extensive gravelled parking to the front, attractive gardens extending around the rear and side, and a pleasant outlook towards the tree-lined street.

Ground Floor The property is approached across the generous gravelled driveway, providing excellent off-road parking, with a double-glazed entrance porch leading into the main living accommodation.

The lounge immediately sets the tone for the rest of the house.

Beautifully presented and filled with natural light courtesy of the large front window and additional side window, it provides a comfortable and immaculate main living space.

The staircase rises from here to the first floor, while an oak and glazed internal door leads through to the kitchen/diner.

Positioned across the rear of the house, the kitchen/diner is another particularly impressive room.

Modern wall and base cabinetry provides plenty of storage and is complemented by a stainless-steel sink and drainer, gas hob with extractor above and an excellent range of integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, double oven, washing machine and slimline dishwasher.

There is ample room for a dining table, while a large window overlooks the garden and UPVC French doors open directly onto the patio, creating a great connection between the house and outside space during the warmer months.

First Floor The staircase rises from the lounge onto a bright first-floor landing, where a double-glazed side window brings additional natural light into the centre of the house.

There is also loft access and an airing cupboard housing the modern combination boiler.

The principal bedroom is positioned to the front and is an immaculate, generously proportioned room with a large double-glazed window, radiator, spotlighting and plenty of space for wardrobe storage.

The second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and is another beautifully maintained room, complete with double-glazed window, radiator and oak internal door.

Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a bath and shower over, WC and wash hand basin, complemented by neutral décor and tiled finishes.

Outside For us, this is where the property really comes into its own. Being positioned on a corner gives the house a much more substantial plot than you might initially expect.

To the front is a large gravelled driveway providing extensive off-road parking, while the position of the house creates an attractive approach and pleasant outlook towards the tree-lined street.

The garden itself extends across the rear and around the side of the property.

Immediately outside the French doors is a paved patio, perfect for outdoor dining, leading onto a lawn with established borders containing a variety of plants, shrubs and trees.

There is a separate gravelled seating area, garden shed and further paved space wrapping around the side of the house, where there is additional seating and a second large shed.

Wooden gated access then leads back around to the front and driveway. It is a particularly versatile garden with several different areas to sit, entertain and enjoy the outside space.

The Riva Lily View There is a lot to like here. Two-bedroom semi-detached homes make fantastic first purchases, but finding one in this condition and on a plot of this size is much more difficult.

The current owner has clearly taken great care of the property and it shows throughout.

It feels bright, modern and extremely well maintained, meaning a new owner should be able to move straight in and simply enjoy it. For us, though, the corner plot is the real difference.

The amount of parking, the wraparound garden and the extra space to the side give the property something that many comparable two-bedroom homes simply don't have.

A superb first home and a really impressive example of this style of property.
