3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Leicester Road, Leicestershire LE18

This tidily presented three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous and private plot within a sought after residential area. Offered with no upward chain the home is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities including a local convenience store situated literally on the other side of the road. Larger supermarkets, numerous smaller shops and services, a variety of eateries as well as leisure and medical centres are all just a short drive or bus ride away. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city of Leicester and around the ring-road toward Fosse Park and Junction 21 of the M1/M69. The plot would allow scope to extend, especially to the rear of the home, subject to local planning. Inside, the home is largely a neat blank canvass ready for any prospective buyer to make their own.

Access to the home is via front door that opens into a welcoming entrance hall which has a flight of stairs rising to the first-floor landing and a useful under stairs storage cupboard. A door from the hallway leads through to the lounge.

The lounge is spacious with ample room for a range of sofas as well as freestanding storage and display furniture. The room is filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a large bay window to the front elevation. The main focal point of the room is a fantastic feature fireplace with chunky timber mantelpiece that sits on a central chimney breast. A large opening leads into the kitchen diner giving the ground floor a modern open plan feel.

The kitchen diner includes a range of base and pantry style fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half-bowl composite sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a ceramic hob and built-in eye-level, electric oven and microwave. In addition, there is space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. A window overlooks the garden, and a door opens to a covered side passage which provides separate utility and storage space. The dining area has ample room for a large table and chairs ideal for family meals and entertaining guests. A set of French patio doors provide more natural light and offers access to the garden.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is situated toward the front of the home and benefits from built-in wardrobes and overhead storage. The second bedroom enjoys views over the garden and is another double room with space for freestanding wardrobes and drawers. The third bedroom is a good size single room and offers the versatility to be used as an office space if not required as a bedroom day-to-day. The third bedroom also accommodates an upgraded 'Worcester' boiler.

The bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom which comprises a contemporary three-piece white suite including a bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a paved driveway provides off-road and side by side parking for two vehicles. At the rear is a private and relatively large family garden with a timber decked patio seating area ideal for summer barbeques with steps that drop down to a lawn which is flanked on both sides by planted borders. The garden does provide scope for any buyer to extend the home without compromising the outside space.

This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a competitively priced family home which can be moved into and enjoyed immediately with the promise of adding further value in future. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
