Easy access to the A563 leading to the popular Fosse Park and motorway routes.



This home is well worth a visit. First impressions when approaching the property are superb. Park on the hedge-lined, extensive brick driveway (with plenty of room for a fleet of vehicles) and take a peek inside…



The arched porch and entrance hall lead to the expansive living room, family room, dining room and kitchen with utility room. The hallway also leads a ground floor WC. Hidden here also, are storage cupboards just right for all those outdoor and household bits and bobs.



The front-facing living room is a great size and neutrally decorated, keeping those original features classic. Dual aspect windows (including a beautiful box bay, overlooking the front garden) let in oodles of natural light, and there is room for the biggest of sofas and entertainment units. The feature fireplace is just perfect for those cosy nights in.



The dining room to the rear of the house is full of light, with views onto the garden. This space links directly to the kitchen, giving great potential for entertaining or simply being able to keep an eye on everyone at the same time. There is plenty of room for the largest of dining tables – and with original, built-in storage, it is a practical, well used space.



The family room, with its large windows and french doors is full of natural light and space. Whether it’s a calm, morning coffee overlooking the back garden or an evening full of family fun, this cool and collected space really brings the outside, in. Another feature fireplace adds to the cosy feel of this property & original features ooze style.



The kitchen, with its tiled floors, is compact and practical. The fitted units, integrated appliances and plenty of worktops give a real sense of practical style – and the options for making this space your own are endless with the utility room next door offering a tonne of storage solutions and direct access to outside.



From the hall leads the bright and open original staircase to the first floor, where the feeling of light and space continues to flow. Four bedrooms and two family bathrooms extend throughout this floor, encompassing the refined style seen throughout the home.



The well-appointed family bath and shower rooms are able to accommodate the busiest of morning routines. Both modern in style and fully tiled, but with touches of the original bones in the form of cupboards and doors. There is ample storage for all the associated items, ensuring all needs are met with ease.



Step into the master bedroom, furnished with lovely views to the front of the property through the huge box bay window, mirroring the one below – perfect for five minutes away from the hustle and bustle of family life. There is ample room for the biggest of beds and a tonne of built-in storage that is capable of housing the most well-dressed of us. Light, bright tones by day turn to cool and restful ones by night – and more original characteristics continue to bring the history of this home into the twenty first century.



Bedroom two is a great size and neutrally decorated with another host of built-in storage, in full keeping with this home’s understated vibe. Roomy, with views overlooking the back of the property, it makes a lovely space to bed down for the night.



Bedroom three also looks out onto the front of the property. Currently being used as a bedroom, it is the perfect size for a nursery, or an office or study space. Bedroom four is a good size too, with views over the back garden. Both rooms are light and bright, with plenty of space to relax, more authentic attributes and lots of storage,



The garden here is a private, peaceful plot standing behind the main home. The large, lawn is flanked by well-established beautiful shrubs and trees and lots of quiet, sunny borders are waiting to be filled with colour. Everywhere you look, there is greenery and calm.
