About
Set back from the main road within a peaceful cul-de-sac, this extended four / five bedroom detached family home offers an exceptional amount of versatile living space, gated parking, a double garage, and an annex.
The property is approached via a private gated entrance with parking available outside the gates for visitors, and additional block-paved parking once inside.
A double garage provides secure parking and storage. A standout feature is the separate home office, accessed externally via full-length double doors through a carport.
Currently used as a hair salon, this space includes its own toilet facilities—ideal for anyone working from home or running a business. This room has been converted from one half of the double garage.
Ground Floor The front elevation boasts a stunning vaulted design with floor-to-ceiling glass.
On entering, the tiled hallway with underfloor heating creates a welcoming first impression, flowing seamlessly into the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area.
The main family sitting room is a substantial space, currently arranged as an entertainment and games room, while a second reception at the rear opens to the garden via French doors.
The open-plan kitchen/diner runs the full depth of the home, with a pitched glass façade to the front and French doors at the rear.
The kitchen features a central island with breakfast bar, extensive storage, and built-in appliances including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, double oven, and microwave, complemented by a freestanding Britannia range cooker with Smeg hood.
The dining area enjoys garden views and a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy family hub. Additional ground floor features include a cloakroom/WC and a built-in storage cupboard.
First Floor Upstairs, a spacious landing with seating area and linen cupboards leads to four excellent bedrooms and a family shower room.
Master Bedroom: Generous proportions with walk-in wardrobe, fitted furniture, and a luxury ensuite comprising double shower, vanity unit, WC, and bath.
French doors open to a balcony with artificial turf flooring, offering woodland and garden views. Bedroom Two: Double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, garden views, and ensuite shower room.
Bedroom Three: Another large double with extensive fitted storage.
Bedroom Four (Annex): Located above the garage, this versatile suite includes a large double bedroom with wardrobes, dressing space, and ensuite shower room.
A door opens to its own kitchen area with storage and appliance space, plus a private living room with French doors.
With potential for an external staircase, this area could be accessed independently—ideal as a guest suite, annex, or even fifth bedroom if the living area were converted.
The family bathroom has been refitted with a modern, fully tiled design featuring a walk-in shower, vanity unit, WC, and contemporary radiator.
Outside The south-facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a patio seating area directly outside the kitchen diner.
A pathway encircles the garden, leading to a further seating area and a large summer house at the far end.
Parking Visitor parking spaces are available outside the double gates with private parking available on the block paved driveway.
A double garage has been built with bedrooms above, however, half of the garage has been converted to a home studio which can be turned back into a garage space if needed.
Location Situated off sought-after Swithland Lane, this property combines a peaceful setting with convenient access to Rothley’s amenities.
The home is offered through local independent Estate Agents Riva Lily.
