3 bed town house for sale

Little Lane, Mountsorrel LE12

There is something particularly appealing about finding a modern home right in the heart of a traditional Leicestershire village, and that is exactly what makes this property on Little Lane stand out.

Positioned within easy walking distance of the centre of Mountsorrel, this attractive three-storey semi-detached home offers the convenience and generally low-maintenance lifestyle associated with a modern property, while putting the shops, pubs, restaurants and everyday amenities of the village practically on the doorstep.

The house itself is equally impressive. Occupying an unusually generous plot, it offers flexible accommodation arranged across three floors, three bedrooms, two en-suites, a ground-floor shower room, utility room, integral garage, two parking spaces and a superb wraparound garden.

For buyers looking for space, versatility and village life without taking on the maintenance often associated with an older property, this is a home well worth viewing.

Approach & Entrance
First impressions are excellent.

The property occupies a particularly attractive plot, with a large lawned front garden featuring a variety of established trees and planting, creating a surprisingly green and pleasant outlook for such a central village position.

There are two parking spaces, including parking immediately in front of the integral garage, while gated access to the side leads through to the rear garden.

Step through the front door and the generous proportions become immediately apparent. The entrance hallway is considerably larger than you might expect, providing plenty of room for coats, shoes and everyday family storage, complemented by laminate flooring.

A door from the hallway provides direct internal access into the integral garage, particularly useful during the colder months or for anyone wishing to use part of the garage for additional storage.

Ground Floor Shower Room
Also positioned off the hallway is a useful ground-floor shower room, fitted with a shower, wash hand basin and WC, together with laminate flooring and an extractor.

Its position alongside the ground-floor bedroom makes this level particularly versatile and could work brilliantly for guests, older children or potentially multi-generational living.

Bedroom Three / Home Office
The third bedroom is currently used as a multifunctional space and demonstrates just how adaptable the layout of this house can be.

French doors open directly onto the rear garden and bring plenty of natural light into the room.

Depending on the requirements of its next owner, it could continue as a bedroom or guest room, or work equally well as a home office, gym, playroom, hobby room or additional reception space.

Utility Room
Completing the ground floor is a separate utility room, another valuable feature for a modern family home.

There is plumbing for a washing machine, a work surface, tiled flooring and radiator, with the combination boiler also housed here.

A door opens directly onto the garden patio, making this a practical everyday entrance from the garden.

First Floor
Take the stairs to the first floor and you arrive at the main living accommodation, with the kitchen diner and lounge occupying this level.

Having the living spaces elevated from the ground floor gives the house a slightly different feel from a conventional two-storey home and allows the ground floor to remain incredibly flexible.

Kitchen Diner
Positioned across the rear is the kitchen diner, overlooking the garden.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with work surfaces, stainless steel sink and drainer, gas hob and double oven. There is plumbing for a dishwasher and ample room for a dining table and chairs.

For many buyers, this will naturally become one of the main everyday spaces in the house, whether that is breakfast before school, dinner with the family or entertaining friends.

Lounge / Living Space
Further along the landing is the generously proportioned lounge.

French doors with a Juliet balcony overlook the front and provide plenty of natural light, while the dimensions of the room give its next owner several options for arranging the space.

There is enough room to create both living and dining areas if preferred, although the current arrangement demonstrates another possibility by dividing the room into comfortable living and office zones.

Combined with the separate kitchen diner and versatile ground-floor room, it means the house can adapt particularly well to changing family needs and home working.

Second Floor
The staircase continues to the top floor, where the two principal bedrooms can be found.

Both are generous double rooms, both benefit from built-in wardrobes and, unusually, both have their own en-suite facilities.

Bedroom Two & En-Suite
Positioned to the rear, bedroom two is a good-sized double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a double-glazed window overlooking the garden.

It also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a shower, wash hand basin and WC.

Principal Bedroom & En-Suite Bathroom
Across the front of the house is the principal bedroom.

Two double-glazed windows overlook the attractive front garden and help create a bright and spacious room, while built-in wardrobes provide useful storage without compromising the floor space.

The principal bedroom also has the advantage of its own en-suite bathroom, fitted with a bath, wash hand basin and WC.

Having two en-suite double bedrooms on the same floor, together with a further bedroom and shower room downstairs, gives the property a particularly flexible arrangement that should appeal to families, couples working from home and those who regularly have guests staying.

Integral Garage & Parking
The integral garage can be accessed internally from the entrance hallway as well as externally from the front.

Together with two parking spaces to the front, it provides excellent practicality for a property situated so conveniently for the centre of the village.

Rear Garden
The garden is another of the property's standout features.

Accessed from either the utility room or through the French doors from bedroom three, the garden begins with a patio area providing an ideal spot for outdoor furniture, barbecues and entertaining.

Beyond is a substantial lawn which continues around the side of the house, giving the outside space a much greater feeling of size than you might initially expect.

Mature trees and established greenery beyond the boundaries create a pleasant outlook and provide a good degree of privacy, with the garden feeling surprisingly secluded considering how close the property is to the centre of Mountsorrel.

The generous side garden also offers interesting potential for buyers wishing to explore extending the property in the future, subject of course to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

A side gate returns to the front of the house, while two external electrical sockets provide additional practicality.

Living in Mountsorrel
Mountsorrel remains one of Charnwood's most popular villages, combining a strong village community with an excellent range of everyday amenities and convenient transport links.

Little Lane places you particularly well for enjoying village life on foot. Mountsorrel offers a good selection of independent shops and everyday services, alongside cafés, pubs, restaurants and takeaways, with further shopping facilities available around the village.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the village is well known for its attractive riverside setting and walks, while nearby countryside and local landmarks provide plenty of opportunities to get outside.

The location is also convenient for neighbouring Rothley, Quorn, Barrow upon Soar and Loughborough, while road connections provide straightforward access towards Leicester and the wider Charnwood area.

It is this location that makes the property particularly unusual. Modern homes can often mean living on the outskirts of a village or on a larger development. Here, you have the benefits of a modern house while still being able to step outside the front door and walk into the heart of Mountsorrel.

The Riva Lily View
For us, this one is all about location, versatility and plot.

Finding a modern home this close to the centre of Mountsorrel is unusual in itself, but combine that with three-storey accommodation, three genuinely flexible bedrooms, two en-suites, a ground-floor shower room, utility, integral garage and an exceptional wraparound garden, and there is a great deal on offer.

We particularly like the flexibility of the ground floor. Bedroom three could just as easily become a guest suite, office, gym or additional reception room, while upstairs the choice of a kitchen diner and a large lounge means the house can be configured around the way you actually live.

Then there is the garden. Generous, green, private and wrapping around the side of the property, it is a real highlight and gives this modern village home something that is increasingly difficult to find.

A superb option for anyone wanting the convenience of modern living without sacrificing space, outside space or a genuine village-centre location.
