House For Sale £650,000
Boasting over 2000 square feet of accommodation, this distinctive and traditional 1930's four bedroom detached house is positioned on Powys Avenue; a highly sought after and wide road where very little comes onto the market. The property has incredible potential to be further configured and extended like it's surrounding properties to accommodate large families and multi-generational living. The property provides a very rare opportunity for any discerning individual looking to settle on a very quiet road which provides highly convenient access to an extensive range of local amenities found in nearby Oadby town centre and boutique bars, restaurants and independent shops on Allendale Road in Stoneygate. There is also nearby access to landscaped open spaces with enjoyable walks through the Leicestershire Gold Course and adjacent Arboretum providing an excellent link to the wider countryside beyond.
With instant kerb appeal in the form of a driveway to accommodate at three vehicles with an integral garage, the property has a warm welcoming through a deceptively spacious entrance hall with an original stain leaded double glazed window to the front aspect. On the ground floor, there are two principle reception rooms, open plan breakfast kitchen and downstairs w/c. To the right hand side, a front reception room boasts a large double glazed window to the front aspect with a feature gas fireplace to the centre of the room complete with original wooden flooring. A further reception room boasts a stunning feature gas fireplace with stone hearth and surround, a stain leaded double glazed window to the side aspect and double glazed sliding doors providing access to a substantial, bright and airy conservatory. To the rear of the property, there is a well appointed open plan breakfast kitchen. The space is well configured and boasts an extensive range of eye-level and base units complete with roll edge laminate work surfaces, space for all relevant appliances to include a Bosch dishwasher, free-standing stove and a conveniently positioned utility room to the far right hand side. The utility room houses the washing machine, further wash facilities and access to the rear garden. A substantial conservatory provides delightful views onto the rear garden whilst being a real sun trap all year round. The property is also equipped with full fibre internet.
A dogleg staircase with stripped balustrades provides access to a spacious landing with a stunning double glazed stain leaded glass window to the front aspect that provides access to four well appointed double bedrooms and a three piece family bathroom with separate w/c. The master bedroom is positioned to the front of the first floor and includes a large double glazed leaded bay window to the front aspect allowing an influx of natural light into the space. Two further double bedrooms include fitted wardrobes whilst a fourth and final bedroom could very easily accommodate a double bed and relevant free-standing furniture. The three piece family bathroom comprises an inset sink with cupboards and drawers under, bath with shower attachment over, walk-in doorless shower cubicle, a separate airing cupboard with two uPVC double glazed windows to side and rear elevations. A separate w/c completes the upstairs accommodation with the added benefit of loft access which we are informed is part boarded and fully insulated. Obtaining relevant planning permission, there is potential to extend the property further utilising the space in the loft.
Outside, a beautiful haven for keen gardeners. With an extensive range of established trees to include a mature Willow, Silverbirch and flowering Cherry. This West-facing space has been beautifully landscaped and offers immense privacy from all the nearby properties. Mainly laid-to-lawn with a paved patio area, two timber sheds and a shallow pond. The space in the garden could very easily be utilised to extend the existing dwelling however this option has not been explored by the current owners and would be subject to all necessary consents.
Properties on this particular road are incredibly hard to come by. Early viewing is essential to truly appreciate the charm, character and potential the house has to offer.

Vendor comments:
" Our family have loved living here for the last 30 years with many cherished memories created in a home where the layout brings us together whilst allowing for privacy. I know future owners will enjoy it just as much as we have. We love the quiet but central location and the nearby Allendale Road shopping area is useful if we need to pop out for something, with a great selection of independent café’s, bars and shops. Walking directly onto the golf course and into the countryside beyond is a delight throughout the year. "
