About
Set along the quiet and well-regarded Tennis Court Drive, just off Uppingham Road in the popular LE5 area of Humberstone, this impressive bay-fronted detached residence occupies a generous corner plot.
It offers exceptional family living for years to come. The property benefits from a private driveway providing parking for three vehicles, a low-maintenance rear garden and a single garage.
Heavily extended and thoughtfully laid out, this is a home designed to accommodate growing families and multi-generational living with ease.
You are welcomed via a porch into a wide and inviting entrance hallway, immediately giving a sense of space and flow.
From here, the dual aspect through the lounge opens up beautifully, with elegant bay windows allowing natural light to flood the room.
Generously proportioned, this superb living space comfortably accommodates multiple sofas and creates an ideal setting for family life and relaxed entertaining.
Beyond the lounge lies the heart of the home, a stunning extended breakfast kitchen that has been the social hub for the current owners and their loved ones.
Perfectly suited to everyday living and hosting alike, the kitchen offers an abundance of wall and base storage, space for a large gas range cooker and dishwasher, tiled flooring and modern spotlighting throughout.
A breakfast bar and additional central island provide informal dining spaces, while there is also ample room for a full family dining table, making it a truly versatile and welcoming environment for gatherings of all ages.
If you regularly host family and friends, this space delivers on every level.
Complementing the kitchen is a well-appointed utility room, offering further worktop and storage space along with room for a large fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, keeping the main living areas clutter-free and practical.
Rising to the first floor, a bright and spacious landing leads to bedrooms one through four.
The principal bedroom is a generous double, comfortably accommodating a queen-size bed, wardrobes and bedside furniture, and is further enhanced by a modern three-piece en suite featuring a corner thermostatic shower.
Bedrooms two and three are excellent double rooms with pleasant aspects to the rear and front respectively, while bedroom four offers a versatile space ideal as a guest bedroom, home office or nursery.
A stylish, fully tiled family bathroom completes this floor, fitted with a WC, vanity wash hand basin with storage, a large bathtub with chrome thermostatic shower over and a heated towel rail for added comfort.
The top floor reveals bedroom five, a fantastic retreat offering a sense of separation from the rest of the home.
This versatile room provides ample space for a bed, wardrobes and desk area, along with an additional snug or den featuring multi-coloured lighting.
Eaves storage further enhances the practicality of this floor, making it ideal for teenagers, guests or home working.
Externally, the fully enclosed rear garden is designed for ease of maintenance, featuring a lawn, well-stocked flower beds with mature shrub borders and a patio area perfect for summer barbecues and outdoor dining.
The garage offers excellent flexibility and could serve as a workshop, home gym, or secure storage, with potential to be converted into additional living space, subject to the necessary permissions.
Tennis Court Drive enjoys a superb position just moments from Uppingham Road, with its wide selection of shops, cafés and regular bus routes providing easy access across the city and into the city centre.
The area is also conveniently located for multiple places of worship and offers excellent road links via the A47.
If this exceptional family home feels like the right fit for you, early registration of interest and viewing is highly recommended. - Property Ref : 4143.
