House For Sale £550,000
Are you looking for a luxurious family home that’s spacious, light and welcoming? Located near the end of a cul-de-sac, this immaculate detached residence features five bedrooms with two en suites, a family bathroom, and a study to the first floor.
Downstairs, the flexible living space includes a garden-facing living room, dining room or snug, and a big breakfast kitchen with a separate utility. Further benefits include a home office, downstairs cloakroom, and a safe enclosed rear garden.
With an attractive yellow brick exterior with stone lintels skirted by a front lawn, the house has instant kerb appeal alongside the convenience of a big driveway and an integral double garage.
Bright and Modern
Follow a paved pathway to a covered front entrance. Inside, you’ll discover a beautiful hallway with cream carpets, sumptuous statement wallpaper, and integrated storage. A white-painted butterfly staircase draws the eye to a galleried landing, creating a dramatic reception area to greet guests and wave them goodbye.
Leading off the hallway, the ground floor receptions feature soft neutral tones with splashes of well-considered pattern or colour, while wooden part-glazed doors increase the sense of movement through the rooms.
To your right is a cloakroom with a basin and loo, with a carpeted home office with rich feature wallpaper and two big windows overlooking the front garden to the left. There’s space for a sizable desk and ample storage or shelving, but you could just as easily use this as a snug or home library.
Contemporary Charm
Behind the office, French doors open into a large living room facing the garden through glazed double doors and windows, which coupled with a plush cream carpet and chandelier fitting, give the room a relaxed, warm feel. A gas feature fireplace, complete with stone surround and marble base, punctuates the silver foliage wallpaper, investing this lovely entertaining area with cosiness and elegance.
Continue along to the dual-aspect dining room, currently used as a snug, where patio doors allow for a warm flow of air during summer mealtimes, with spotlights on hand to help you control the atmosphere. The adjacent breakfast kitchen can be accessed from here as well as from the hallway for an easy transfer of plates and cutlery.
The impressive kitchen has an extensive tiled floor for accommodating a large table illuminated by a chandelier fitting, plus an informal seating area, while glazed double doors lead out onto the garden – perfect for hosting large family gatherings, parties and barbeques.
A horseshoe-shaped range of light wooden cabinets contrasts with black worktops and a mottled tiled splashback – take a break from food prep at the breakfast bar with a glass of wine. Integrated appliances include a double oven, gas hob and extractor hood, a concealed dishwasher and fridge-freezer.
Complementing floor tiles unite the kitchen with the separate utility, which contains a worktop and sink, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and an external side door.
Ample Accommodation
From the hallway, stairs rise to a grand, split-level galleried landing connecting to five double bedrooms, all with fitted cream carpets and built-in storage to match the proportions of each room.
Above the garage, the master features triple front-facing windows with pleasant leafy views shared by bedroom three and the study. Gold-tone floral wallpaper adds a statement to any headboard, while the modern three-piece en suite with a large shower enclosure offers privacy and convenience.
Bedroom two also benefits from its own en suite shower room and has views over the back garden, shared by bedrooms four and five. The remaining three bedrooms are all a great size, with the part-tiled family bathroom comprising a separate bath and shower enclosure, pedestal basin and close-coupled loo.
Step Outside
A big rear garden stretches along the back of the house. Mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by timber fencing, it’s perfect for family football or a range of outdoor play equipment. Access can be gained from not only the kitchen but also via the living and dining room, where you’ll step out onto a patio ripe for al fresco dining or enjoying a quiet coffee.
A Winning Location
The village of Glenfield has an impressive range of amenities – from supermarkets, beauty salons and barbers, a post office and a garage to multiple takeaways and a selection of bakeries, including Mesmerising Icing, which specialises in vegan creations. Leicester’s bustling city centre is only a 15-minute drive and will grant you all the big-name shopping and culture you could wish for.
Fancy eating out? The Railway Inn and The Forge Inn offer indoor and outdoor seating, while Gynsills Farm provides a variety of food, including a carvery. The village also benefits from a sports ground with cricket and football training, play parks, a local youth centre, Progress Works gym and Weston golf course.
The surrounding areas have plenty of attractions to visit, including The National Space Centre, Kirby Muxloe Castle, and meandering river walks. Closer to home is the popular Gorse Hill City Farm – perfect for a day out with children of all ages.
You will find both the well-regarded Barley Croft Primary and The Hall School just a short drive away. Many other schools in the immediate area are also rated as ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, including quality secondary education from the nearby Beaumont Leys School.
Conveniently located by the A50, you have easy access to the M1 and ongoing connections. Alternatively, trains run from Leicester and South Wigston to London St Pancras, with journey times ranging from 60–90 minutes. International flyers will also make use of Leicester’s easily accessible airport
