House For Sale £600,000
Dream of a contemporary country home within easy commuting distance of Leicester city centre? Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac between Great Glen and Oadby, this handsome detached residence features five bedrooms with two en suites and a family bathroom; a garden-facing kitchen with separate utility; two light-filled reception rooms and a home office; a fantastic double garage and a well-tended rear garden offering views across open fields.
Quietly Commanding
An extensive block-paved driveway delineated by attractive shrubs and trees guides you toward a double garage or a further parking area before the front entrance, well set back from the street. The variegated brickwork to the exterior harmonises the home with its natural surroundings, culminating in the beautiful country views to the rear.
Bright & Inviting
Inside, a hallway with wood flooring and under-stairs storage connects to all the main living areas. Doors to the left lead to the front dining room and the rear living room, linked by double doors and bookended by canted bay windows.
Trimmed with coving to the ceiling and lined with a plush fitted carpet, this huge two-to-one reception space is softly lit by pendant fittings and wall lights, while an elegant stone fireplace provides warmth to the sitting area.
Returning to the hallway, you’ll pass a cloakroom with a basin and loo before reaching the office, where you can work while soaking in the garden and fields beyond.
Wine & Dine
Adjacent to the office, you’ll discover a big dining kitchen backing via glazed double doors onto the terrace – perfect for summer parties. A range of light wooden cabinets, drawers and shelving with contrasting worktop and a colourful splashback wrap around the kitchen, leaving ample space for a breakfast table.
A large window over the sink lets in more natural light and makes it easy to keep an eye on the kids playing outside while preparing dinner. Integrated appliances include an oven with hob and extractor hood, and space for a fridge.
Complementing floor tiles unite the kitchen with the separate utility, which contains matching units, worktop, splashback, a sink and an external side door.
Relax & Unwind
From the hallway, stairs rise to a bright galleried landing leading to five double bedrooms with coved ceilings and fitted carpets. Above the garage, the master bedroom features two front windows, an integrated wardrobe, and an ultra-stylish en suite with a wet-room walk-in shower, lots of storage, vanity basin and loo.
Bedroom two also benefits from an en suite shower room. The third and fourth bedrooms come with in-built storage, while bedroom five offers serene garden views. The spacious, part-tiled family bathroom comprises a bath and separate corner shower, chrome heated towel rail, pedestal basin and close-coupled loo.
Step Outside
Double doors from the kitchen open onto a paved terrace and lawn enclosed by timber fencing, with open fencing to the back maximising the lush green view, watched over by a garden pavilion. Mature trees provide a home for wildlife and plenty of shade for garden picnics during the summer months.
On Your Doorstep
Spion Kop lies within walking distance of the highly regarded Leicester Grammar School and is only a short drive from Leicester High School for Girls, with several local primary schools rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.
The Fox Pond pub is just around the corner from the property, so why not pop by to meet your new neighbours? Nearby Great Glen offers a range of day-to-day amenities you would expect to find in a rural village, from a church, play areas and sporting facilities to a post office, library, shops and pubs. Enjoy the plethora of leisure facilities in the area, including Leicester Racecourse, the University of Leicester Botanic Gardens, and Glen Gorse golf club.
Just up the A6, Oadby has an excellent choice of major supermarkets, pubs and restaurants. The town benefits from football and rugby clubs, riding stables, and the Parklands Leisure Centre, which has a large gym, swimming pool, soft play and climbing centre.
Trains run from Leicester and South Wigston to London St Pancreas, with journey times ranging from 60-90 minutes. International flyers will also make fair use of Leicester’s easily accessible airport.<br /><br />
