3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Greenbank Drive, Oadby, Leicester, Leicestershire LE2

This well presented and much loved three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a private plot within a sought after residential area. Already extended to the rear, accommodating a versatile space that is currently presented as an office, the plot would allow scope for further extension to both side and rear if desired and subject to local planning. The home is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities including large supermarkets, leisure and medical centres and a variety of smaller shops, services and eateries along Oadby's popular parade. For those that commute the main A6 connecting Leicester to Market Harborough is readily accessible and for buyers that work from home the property provides several options to create work or office space. The home would suit first time buyers, young families and those looking for homes that offer space to build.

Access to the home is via a porch which in turn leads into a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and doors through to the lounge diner and kitchen.

The lounge, dining area and extended office space all sit open plan to each other and therefore can be sectioned up into a lounge and dining room depending on furniture type and size. The front reception space is filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a large bay window. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace that is set onto a central chimney breast. The current owner chooses to use the middle space of the three as the lounge which has ample room for sofas and freestanding display and storage furniture. An open archway leads through to the extension, which is set up as an office but offers the versatility to be used as a garden room or a play/games room for children. The extension benefits from a dual aspect with windows to both side and rear elevations. A door offers one of two access points to the garden.

The kitchen has a range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a gas hob with extractor hood over and built-in electric oven underneath. In addition, there is space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. A door from the kitchen opens to a further extended area behind the garage which accommodates a separate utility room. The utility room houses a recently fitted 'Worcester' combination boiler and has space for a tumble dryer. Doors then lead through to the garage and a useful ground floor WC and wash hand basin. A back door provides the second access point to the garden.

To the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and a further single bedroom. The largest of the three benefits from the bay window to the front elevation with the second well-proportioned double bedrooms enjoys views over the garden. Both spaces have plenty of room for freestanding wardrobes and drawers. The third bedroom is a flexible single room and again offers the versatility to be used as an office space or dressing room.

Finally, on the first floor, is a modern refitted bathroom which comprises a three-piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a hard standing driveway provides off-road parking as well as direct car access to the garage. The driveway could be made larger by utilising a lawned front garden that sits adjacent to the drive. The garage has light and power and an up and over main door.

At the rear is a generous and private garden that slopes down toward a small brook. There is a large raised paved patio seating area and a lawn with planted borders that offer privacy.

This is a delightful family home that can be immediately enjoyed but also provides opportunities to add value in the future. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
