‘Space, glorious space.’
Welcome to Glenfield Frith Drive
Imposing from first glance
This house makes a statement and the statement includes the word ‘largesse’: This imposing property is generous in each and every aspect. If you are looking for a home that allows you the luxury of space, with bespoke features, in a matured, leafy setting, look no further. Congratulations -you have found it! This is your opportunity to purchase a house in a prime location that offers seclusion and privacy, whilst being only a short drive away from bustling towns, open countryside or easy access to major road and rail networks. The centrality of this location is superb.
There is a generous feel about this home and this is initiated with the garden space at the front of the property. Not only does this area provide a safe and wide boundary from the road, it provides a sweeping half-moon ‘drive in, drive out’ approach with a substantial driveway circling a mature front garden. This provides a significant entry from which to admire this impressive 5 bedroomed detached property, set in its own considerable plot of land, in a much sought after location on Glenfield Frith Drive.
Immediately, this house strikes the viewer as unique. With dark UPVC framed windows and its highly distinguishable pitched roof silhouette, back dropped against mature trees, an appreciative eye will realise that this is not one of many. Here you have something special, with heaps of potential to go further, or simply enjoy the benefits of what is already amply provided.
A warm welcome
By entry through the porch, the house opens up into a welcoming hall, where an opaque floor to ceiling feature window allows light to flood the space. The porch can also be accessed through the double integral garage, which is generously proportioned to provide ample storage.
The hall is the central point of the home and from here there are doors to the downstairs cloakroom, with wash room facilities, kitchen and living room. There are 3 significant reception rooms, all looking into the large garden at the rear of the property. They have been cleverly designed to link together through double, glass panelled interior doors to provide a dining area, living room and snooker room. The snooker room opens through sliding doors onto a spaciously paved patio. This room also houses a Stiltz Trio+ lift that can take 2 to 3 people into the office space on the first floor. It has been specifically designed with wider access for wheelchair users.
If snooker is not your chosen pastime, this room could easily become a garden room, as it already has a solid floor but the beauty of the room is its sheer size and position, linking house and garden. The choice of how to use it, is yours.
Entertaining and relaxation
The reception rooms provide options! You have the blueprint for contemporary design, allowing flexibility of purpose and a versatile arrangement of furniture. Simply put, there is so much potential to use these beautifully proportioned rooms of airiness and light to best fit your style of entertaining or fulfil the needs of everyday living. Combined, they provide the perfect space for large scale parties but indeed can be closed off to provide separate rooms with separate purposes, a fantastic asset with this property.
A prominent feature of all the reception rooms is the views they provide looking into the private and mature garden. The living room is particularly blessed here, as a window seat stretches along the length of the room from which large expanses of garden can be admired. Fitted with an electric fire, this room allows you to enjoy the beauty of the natural world in all weathers. Both dining room and living room are fitted with matching carpets.
The kitchen can be accessed through the hall and dining room. It is also large enough to have a table for less formal dining and is fitted with medium oak units, integral oven, Neff dishwasher, hob and integrated Neff fridge. The utility room is on a grand scale and provides ample space for all laundry needs plus additional work tops and storage units. These areas have tiled floors and a side door from the utility room leading outside to the side of the property.
Upstairs we go
The spacious feel of this impressive house is now continued as you move upstairs. The stairs lead to a carpeted, upper floor hall but as with all things with this property, the layout of the bedrooms is on a large scale. The primary bedroom is approached via a separate hall landing and has a private ensuite and rear garden views. There are 4 other bedrooms on this level leading from another section of the hall landing and they are all well-proportioned. Bedroom 2 has an ensuite facility too and there is a large family bathroom. The ensuite facilities and bathroom are fitted with white fixtures and maintained to a high standard, with wall and floor tiles.
There is a separate office overlooking the front of the property and a laundry store, which provides additional storage and is accessed through the bathroom. All bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and fitted carpets. However, we are not finished yet! A door opening from the first landing opens onto the roof space above the garage. This has the potential to become an open air terrace at the front of the building. If sky watching on a clear evening appeals to you, this is yet another delightful option with this disarming property.
The beauty of the garden
This property is surrounded by a wealth of established shrubs, trees and plants of all kinds. The house is bordered on all sides with varied greenery and the patio stretches around the back of the house from which delightful views of the lawn, flower beds and winding path through mature native trees can be appreciated. It is a valuable and generous component, which perfectly frames this bespoke home.
Glenfield LE3
Glenfield is a large village in a region known as the East Midlands, in the county of Leicestershire. The Midlands are essentially central to everything in England: Airports, motorways and train stations are easily accessible. For example, the East Midlands airport is only 14 miles away, London is approximately 102 miles away and it is possible to visit the seaside for a day trip! The M1, M69 and M6 maximise the potential for travel by road from this central location. The villages of Groby, Kirby Muxloe and Anstey are close by.
Glenfield is on the North West fringe of the city and in the Blaby district of Leicester. During parliamentary elections Glenfield is counted within the Charnwood constituency. The headquarters of the Leicestershire County Council and Leicestershire’s Fire and Rescue Service are located in Glenfield. It also has the Glenfield Hospital and the Glenfield Sports Ground, which offers an array of courses and activities. Built in 1877, St Peters is the local parish church and there is also a Wesleyan Chapel in the vicinity.
The original small village of Glenfield was known as Clanfelde and was mentioned in the 1086 Doomsday Book. Today, new natural areas called Clanfelde Hills have been created to commemorate this name. The village of Glenfield expanded notably after the 1930s and continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, education and leisure amenities. There are an array of shops, restaurants, cafes and parks, with the additional benefits of reaching the city of Leicester by public or private transport. There are many rural delights within a walking distance.
The local council is keen to conserve and reintroduce green belt natural areas for the public to enjoy. There is a wildlife friendly meadow and arboretum branching from the A50, while a cycle track along the Rothley Road called Brookside Meadows leads from the centre of the village and into open countryside over a new purpose built bridge.
The locality provides many schools across the educational age range; nursery, primary, secondary, including private establishments offering boarding facilities. The Office for Standards in Education - ofsted – is best researched to provide a comprehensive review of currently rated standards of practice
