The Osiers, Braunstone Town, Leicester LE3

Ref - DA1155

Introduction

A beautiful three-bedroom detached family home with a seriously impressive master suite, substantial kitchen breakfast room, fantastic garden and exciting potential for multi-generational living.

Tucked away in a desirable cul-de-sac position, The Osiers is a home that offers considerably more than its three-bedroom headline might initially suggest. The accommodation is generous throughout, the standard is excellent and there is a wonderful combination of original character, modern improvements and future flexibility.

From the stunning original entrance door to the exceptional kitchen breakfast room, extensive master suite, beautiful south-facing garden and integral garage with genuine conversion potential, this is a home that needs to be viewed to fully appreciate what it offers.

Porch

A large front porch provides a practical first point of entry, with a front double-glazed door and windows bringing plenty of natural light into the space. The tiled flooring makes this an ideal area for dealing with coats, shoes and everyday family life before entering the original hallway.

Entrance Hall

Step through the stunning original wooden and glass entrance door, and immediately there is a real sense of character.

The door retains its original detailing, including the beautiful timberwork, metal door lock and original letterbox — a lovely feature that gives the property an identity before you have even reached the main living accommodation.

The hallway itself has laminate flooring, radiator, wall lights and stairs rising to the first floor, together with the clever push-out understairs storage system, providing an impressive amount of easily accessible storage without encroaching into the hallway.

Living & Dining Room - 8.38m x 3.33m (27'6" x 10'11")

Currently arranged as one substantial living and dining space, this room is measured as two separate areas, giving the new owner plenty of flexibility in how the space is used.

The living area has a front double-glazed bay window, double doors opening back into the entrance hall, spotlights and an electric fire providing a natural focal point.

An archway then opens into the dining area, creating a lovely sense of connection between the two spaces while still giving each part of the room its own purpose.

The dining area benefits from rear double-glazed French doors and two further rear double-glazed windows, creating a bright and sociable space with a strong connection towards the garden.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room - 4.5m x 3.78m (14'9" x 12'5")

This is undoubtedly one of the standout rooms of the house.

The kitchen breakfast room is a substantial, beautifully arranged space with two rear double-glazed windows, a side door through to the utility room and a central island with granite worktop and integrated breakfast bar.

The island has been designed with practicality in mind, incorporating a pull-out bin system and useful storage cupboards, while two pull-out spice racks make particularly good use of the surrounding kitchen space.

There is an integrated dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob and one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer, with the cooking area finished with a striking designer glass splashback incorporating artwork.

There is also a large under-stairs cupboard with space and plumbing for an American-style fridge freezer, meaning the kitchen combines impressive presentation with the storage and practicality required for busy family life.

The vinyl flooring, designer vertical radiator and generous proportions complete what is a genuinely impressive kitchen and breakfast space.

Utility Room

A side door from the kitchen leads into the useful utility room, which has wall and base units, tiled flooring, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer.

There is also a second sink — a stylish circular stainless steel design — together with the central heating boiler.

A double-glazed window and rear door provide natural light and direct access outside, making this a particularly practical room for managing the everyday demands of family life.

Cloakroom

The utility room also provides access to the downstairs cloakroom, fitted with WC, extractor fan and spotlights.

Importantly, its position adjacent to the garage also creates an opportunity for those looking to explore a future garage conversion.

Integral Garage & Multi Generational Potential Conversion

The integral garage with Bi-Fold doors, power, lighting and useful storage space.

For buyers who require more than the existing accommodation, this is where the property becomes particularly interesting. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, building regulations and works, the garage could potentially be converted to provide an additional bedroom or living space.

With the existing cloakroom positioned alongside it, there is also the possibility of exploring whether this could be adapted into a shower room or en-suite, creating potentially very useful accommodation for an older relative, young adult or guest.

This is potential rather than existing accommodation, but it is a significant opportunity that could allow the property to evolve with a family’s needs.

Landing

The first-floor landing leads to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom, with loft access via a loft ladder.

The loft is partially boarded and has a light, providing useful additional storage, while the former airing cupboard offers further storage with additional overhead space.

Master Bedroom - 3.71m x 3.25m (12'2"Max x 10'8"Max)

The master bedroom is a large double bedroom with a rear double-glazed window, radiator and ceiling spotlights.

But this is much more than simply a generous principal bedroom.

The room has been fitted with an exceptional amount of wardrobe storage, including two double sliding wardrobes, each offering both upper and lower hanging space, together with another double-sized sliding storage cupboard fitted with shelving.

The bedroom then opens into its own substantial dressing room, creating a genuine master suite feel.

Dressing Room - 3.02m x 1.98m (9'11" x 6'6")

The dressing room is a fantastic addition and gives the principal bedroom a level of space and practicality rarely found in a typical three-bedroom home.

There are three single hanging sliding wardrobes, each incorporating additional storage, together with a fitted vanity unit featuring drawers and shelving.

Spotlights provide focused lighting, while a rear double-glazed window brings natural light into the room.

This could comfortably become one of those spaces that changes how you organise everyday life — a dedicated dressing area rather than trying to squeeze wardrobes and storage into the bedroom itself.

Bedroom - 4.06m x 3.43m (13'4" x 11'3")

Bedroom two is another large double bedroom, with a front double-glazed window, radiator and spotlights.

Its generous proportions make it an excellent family bedroom, with plenty of room for substantial furniture while retaining space to move around comfortably.

Bedroom - 3.96m x 2.29m (13'0" x 7'6")

The third bedroom is another double bedroom and is currently being used as a home office.

With a rear double-glazed window, radiator and wall lights, the room is currently fitted with a desk, shelving and bookcase, demonstrating just how effectively the space can work as a dedicated workspace.

For a family, it could equally become a child’s bedroom, guest room or additional double bedroom, giving the property genuine flexibility as needs change.

Bathroom - 2.36m x 1.75m (7'9" x 5'9")

The family bathroom has a front double-glazed window and is fitted with a p-shaped bath, mixer tap and shower over with shower screen, WC and wash hand basin with vanity unit.

There is a vertical designer radiator, additional wall heater, extractor fan and useful fitted shelving and storage.

The floor is laminate, with tiled walls to the splash areas, while spotlights provide practical illumination.

Garden

The rear garden is one of the property’s real highlights.

Being south-facing and enclosed, it offers a wonderful private outdoor environment with several distinct areas designed for sitting, entertaining and enjoying the garden at different times of the day.

Immediately outside the house is an initial patio area, leading through to a further raised seating area beneath a pergola. The pergola is currently home to grape vines producing grapes, adding a lovely established feel to this part of the garden.

There is also a dedicated barbecue area, outside tap, lighting and electric point, making the garden particularly well equipped for outdoor entertaining.

Mature shrubbery, established borders and a number of mature trees give the garden a sense of privacy and maturity.

Towards the upper section is a further boarded area finished with bark, creating another seating space with an attractive elevated outlook back towards the house.

A feature bird bath and water feature add further interest, while fencing encloses the garden and a useful outside shed provides additional storage.

Side gated access connects the rear garden to the front, making access particularly practical.

To The Front

To the front is a low-maintenance garden alongside an enclosed driveway providing off-road parking for a couple of cars.
