Welcome Home
Approaching from the main road, a cobbled block paved driveway leads you up to the frontage comprising of integral double garage with automated insulated sectional up and over doors and feature courtesy low energy overnight lighting and car parking space for several vehicles.
An informal pebble bed with low growing plants and shrubs forms a boundary to the left, ending to a near a wooden side gate providing access to the South facing rear garden. To the right, a flowerbed with young evergreen trees and shrubs and Two metre high wooden fence to ensure privacy to the front. The central area has a large feature natural slate chippings area for further container plants or further car parking area. The whole frontage of the home is secluded and extremely private with no interruption from the surrounding homes.
The naturally slated canopy makes a striking impression as you arrive at the front door over a natural Indian sandstone pathway and the glass panels invite you through the porch into a bright and spacious hallway decorated in soft welcoming neutral tones.
Internally the home will welcome you throughout with the neutral wall tones and feature wallpaper, deep pile carpets, terracotta feature tiling, plaster coving and rich Oak doors and brass ironmongery to create a truly yet somewhat contemporary County home environment.
The home benefits from full double glazing with solar glazing, BT telephone line and fibre optic broadband, full LED lighting throughout, intruder alarm, gas fired central heating and Megaflow pressurised hot water storage system and a recently installed Worcester Bosch system boiler.
Adaptable Living Space
Fantastic reception rooms reach along the right of the hallway and end into a stunning conservatory. Use them independently or throw open the connecting Oak wooden doors for an amazing open plan area designed for family gatherings and entertaining.
The dining room, currently used as a home study, features a lovely bay window overlooking the front. The connecting doors can either remain shut to create the ideal snug or be opened up to become an extension of the living room.
The large living room features stone fireplace with an ‘open fire’ gas fire mantelpiece surrounding an open fire, promising cosy evenings in front of the TV. During the day and in the summer evenings, daylight streams in through the connecting conservatory, lighting up the statement wallpaper and the decorative coving to the ceiling.
A Room with a View
Adding even more allure to this lovely property, the large, classic-style conservatory draws the garden into the home. Where better to unwind during blissful summer evenings, drinking in the fabulous views across the back garden to the lush green fields beyond?
From here, double doors open straight into the garden, so you can sit and watch the family outside. The practical yet beautiful tiled and heated floor is ideal for family living or clearing up after a big party. The glazing is solar and there are electrically operated roof vents to allow fresh air to gush in on warm summer days.
Work from Home
Stroll back into the hall and discover a useful study room overlooking the rear garden that could also be commandeered as a playroom to keep toys and games in one place. There’s also a downstairs cloakroom just across the hallway.
Country Cooking
Walk in to the bright and cheerful kitchen/breakfast room, which enjoys the spectacular views over the garden and countryside via a picture window over the sink and French doors out to the paved garden patio. It’s an excellent vantage point for keeping an eye on family outside or for daydreaming.
Elegant and well-equipped, the kitchen has terracotta-style floor tiling that ties in with the splashback’s natural shades, investing the space with warmth. An excellent range of cream units, topped by marble effect worktops, face towards the breakfast area, where you’ll find the perfect spot for a table and chairs to seat at least six.
Integrated appliances include an electric double oven with a five-ring gas hob and stainless-steel extractor, a Miele fridge-freezer, a further undercounter freezer and space for a dishwasher. Walk through into the utility room, discovering matching storage units, a second sink and space for washing machine and tumble dryer and the wall mounted boiler. An exterior door opens to the side of the house – the obvious place to keep refuse and recycling bins, close to the side gate.
Retreat Upstairs
Climb the staircase with its Oak bannister and white-painted spindles to reach the first floor offering choice of Five bedrooms.
The master bedroom has two big picture windows overlooking the front of the house. Find a large fitted wardrobe for your clothing collection and an en suite with full bathtub and shower over, basin and toilet.
Bedroom two also benefits from that enviable view across open fields and a pristine en suite shower room, making it the perfect choice for your guests. There are two more thoughtfully decorated double bedrooms to the front and rear, each incorporating large fitted wardrobes and pendant lights.
Bedroom five faces the back garden – a great nursery, teenager’s den or a home office, if not needed for sleeping. These three rooms all share a beautifully presented family bathroom with a large corner shower cubicle, separate bathtub, chrome heated towel rail, basin and toilet.
The ‘Infinity’ Garden
Time now to explore the back garden, accessed via the kitchen, conservatory or utility room. Its sweeping view is a major attraction and will act as the perfect backdrop for parties and barbeques. Stretching along the rear boundary, open fencing offers safe but minimal division from the adjacent ‘ridge and furrow’ heritage protected open field, enhancing the country ambience. During the Spring and Summer season the field allows all forms of wildlife to be seen from grazing cows, birds and occasional shy foxes and reindeer!
Attractive dark wood fencing, shrubs and maturing trees screen this spacious and private garden. Mostly laid to lawn, the children can burn off steam before joining the adults on the sunny paved patio outside the kitchen for an al fresco lunch.
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.

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.
