Timeless character with A modern twist - Looking to view? Call & Press Option 4 (Millie Thacker)

There are few homes that strike the perfect balance between timeless character, modern family living and an idyllic countryside setting quite like this beautifully extended four-bedroom semi-detached home. Occupying a sought-after position in the heart of Thurcaston, with uninterrupted views across neighbouring farmland, this is a home that has been thoughtfully enhanced over the years to create a space that's as practical as it is beautiful.

Set back behind a generous driveway, the attractive bay-fronted property immediately catches the eye, while the integral tandem garage provides excellent storage. Stepping through the recently replaced front door, you're greeted by a welcoming entrance hall where the original style of the home has been lovingly celebrated with striking black and white Amtico tiled flooring, setting the tone for the character and quality found throughout.

To the front of the home, the spacious living room is filled with natural light thanks to the beautiful bay window. Soft neutral décor, period picture rails and a feature fireplace create a calm and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. An open cloak area beneath the stairs, together with a useful storage cupboard and downstairs WC, add to the home's practicality without compromising its charm.

The true heart of this home lies to the rear, where a thoughtfully designed extension has created an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and family space. Designed with both entertaining and everyday family life in mind, the kitchen combines timeless style with modern convenience. A central L-shape island naturally becomes the hub of the room, complemented by elegant brass fittings, a range-style cooker, integrated dishwasher and an abundance of storage. Whether you're hosting friends or helping with homework while dinner is cooking, this space effortlessly brings everyone together.

Large bi-fold doors flood the room with natural light and open directly onto the beautifully landscaped garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out during the warmer months. A separate utility room keeps the practicalities tucked away and also provides internal access to the tandem garage.

Outside, the garden has been transformed into a wonderful extension of the home. A raised patio, completed in 2021/2022, provides the ideal spot for morning coffee or summer dining before steps lead down to an expansive, level lawn bordered by mature planting, colourful flowers and established trees. A pathway guides you to the fully insulated and hard-wired garden office, complete with laminate flooring and offering a fantastic space for home working, a gym, studio or hobby room.

Beyond the garden, the setting becomes something truly special. Open farmland stretches into the distance, providing an ever-changing outlook where horses, goats, sheep and spring lambs regularly graze. It is a view that offers a sense of peace and privacy rarely found, yet all whilst remaining within easy reach of amenities.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms continue to impress. The principal bedroom enjoys stunning views across the fields, fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en-suite, installed in 2025, complete with full-height tiling, a contemporary vanity unit and a luxurious double waterfall shower.

The second bedroom is another generous double, with an elegant bay window allowing natural light to pour in throughout the day. Bedroom three also enjoys the picturesque countryside outlook to the rear, while bedroom four is a genuine fourth bedroom, accommodating a queen double bed and benefiting from a useful over-stairs storage cupboard.

Completing the first floor is the stylish family bathroom, renovated in 2016 and enhanced in 2025 with a new shower. Finished with a contemporary wash basin, heated towel rail, WiFi-controlled radiator, extractor fan and built-in storage, it perfectly complements the quality found throughout the rest of the home.

The current owners have continued to invest in the property, providing reassurance for years to come. A new boiler installed in March 2026, while the impressive kitchen extension, completed in 2015, also included a new consumer unit and complete rewiring of the extended accommodation. The replacement front door and side panel windows further enhance both the appearance and energy efficiency of the home, while the loft is partially boarded and insulated, offering valuable additional storage.

Beautifully presented from top to bottom, this is far more than simply a house. It's a home where character meets contemporary living, where every improvement has been carefully considered, and where the backdrop of open countryside creates a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Offering generous family accommodation, exceptional entertaining space and one of Thurcaston's most enviable rear aspects, 98 Leicester Road is ready for its next chapter.
