41 Conaglen Road, Leicester, LE2 8LE

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.

Property Alterations / Extensions The property has undergone two particularly significant improvements: Rear Extension: The former conservatory has been substantially enclosed, bricked and plastered to create a more conventional additional reception/family room adjoining the kitchen.

This has significantly increased the ground-floor living and entertaining space.

Loft Conversion: The loft has been converted to create a substantial fourth bedroom/principal suite occupying the second floor.

This incorporates fitted storage, bathing facilities, a separate WC and bi-folding doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking Aylestone Meadows.

EPC Rating: D Location The property is ideally situated for everyday amenities along Aylestone Road within Aylestone and local schooling, including Granby Primary School and Montrose School.

Within reach are local sporting facilities such as Grace Road Cricket Ground, King Power Football Stadium and Leicester Tigers Stadium further afield.

Regular bus routes running to and from Leicester City Centre and the main ring road are also within reach, giving easy access to M1 & M69 motorway junctions.

Fosse Retail Park is also within reach. Entrance Porch The property is approached through an attractive oak-framed entrance porch, which adds plenty of character to the front elevation.

The porch leads through to the main wooden entrance door and onwards into the hallway.

Entrance Hall (4.00m x 1.84m) Accessed via the wooden entrance door, the hallway provides access to the principal ground-floor accommodation and staircase rising to the first floor.

Finished with laminate flooring and benefiting from a useful understairs storage cupboard.

Reception Room (4.18m x 3.48m) A beautifully presented bay-fronted reception room positioned to the front of the property.

The large bay window incorporates attractive wooden sills and allows plenty of natural light into the room.

A feature stone fireplace with inset gas fire provides an attractive focal point, whilst a radiator completes the room.

Kitchen (5.45m x 3.53m) A particularly impressive kitchen and dining space, fitted with an extensive range of contemporary Shaker-style wall and base units complemented by generous work surfaces.

There is space for an American-style fridge freezer and freestanding double oven, with an extractor hood positioned above.

Further appliance space includes provision for a dishwasher, whilst a built-in wine cooler provides an additional feature.

The room benefits from windows to the side elevation, laminate flooring, recessed ceiling spotlights, decorative cornicing and a contemporary tall column radiator.

There is also ample space for a large dining table, making this a fantastic sociable space for everyday family life and entertaining.

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.

The room benefits from laminate flooring and an abundance of natural light from the extensive glazing running along the side and rear elevations.

A door opens directly onto an elevated decked terrace, providing an excellent connection between the internal living space and rear garden.

This versatile room could be used as a second lounge, family room, entertaining space or playroom and is particularly effective when combined with the adjoining kitchen/dining area.

First Floor Landing The first-floor landing provides access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom, with stairs continuing to the converted second floor.

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.

The room features laminate flooring, a radiator positioned beneath the window and fitted wardrobes providing excellent storage.

Bedroom Two (3.83m x 3.32m) Another well-proportioned double bedroom positioned to the rear of the property.

A particular highlight of this room is its outlook towards Aylestone Meadows, with the elevated rear position providing attractive views across the surrounding greenery.

Further features include laminate flooring, built-in wardrobes, fitted desk area and a radiator positioned beneath the rear-facing window.

Bedroom Three (2.43m x 2.27m) Positioned to the front of the property, the third bedroom benefits from a front-facing window, radiator and laminate flooring.

This would work well as a child's bedroom, nursery or home office. Family Bathroom (2.73m x 1.91m) A well-appointed family bathroom offering both separate bathing and showering facilities.

The room is finished with tiled flooring and tiled walls and comprises a freestanding bath with handheld shower attachment, separate shower enclosure, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.

There is also an extractor fan and a window to the rear elevation providing natural light and ventilation.

Principal Loft Bedroom (5.1m x 5.0m) The converted second floor is one of the real highlights of the home, creating an impressive principal bedroom suite with a fantastic outlook across Aylestone Meadows.

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.

Internally, the room benefits from fitted wardrobes and a fitted vanity area.

A particularly striking feature is the freestanding bath positioned in front of the rear bi-folding doors, with a rainfall-style shower above, allowing the outlook to become a real feature of the suite.

WC There is also a separate enclosed WC area containing a toilet and wash hand basin, providing privacy from the main bedroom space.

Rear Garden The rear garden is arranged over different levels and enjoys a particularly attractive position backing directly towards the greenery of Aylestone Meadows.

Immediately adjoining the extended family room is an elevated decked terrace, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining and seating.

This position takes advantage of the property's open rear aspect and provides an excellent entertaining area directly accessible from the house.

Steps lead down into the main garden, which provides further outdoor space and includes a substantial timber-built structure/outbuilding towards the rear.

The garden's position is undoubtedly one of the property's biggest selling points, with the surrounding mature trees and greenery creating a much more open outlook than would typically be expected within a residential setting.

Front Garden The property has an attractive traditional semi-detached frontage with bay windows to both the ground and first floors.

A particularly attractive timber-framed entrance porch creates a distinctive entrance to the property, whilst a low-level brick boundary wall separates the frontage from the pavement.

There is also access running along the side of the property towards the rear. Disclaimer Measurements are taken electronically and are for guidance only - not to be relied upon as exact.
