Description:

Positioned on one of Oadby’s most prestigious wide and leafy residential roads lined with attractive detached homes, this stylish, four-bedroom detached family bungalow is situated on a good-sized plot with potential for further extension and adaptation (subject to planning).

Inside, discover an entrance hall, lounge/fourth bedroom, living room, contemporary dining kitchen, utility room/second kitchen, three further bedrooms, and modern bathrooms, including a master en-suite. Neutrally painted walls, plush carpets, and attractive tiling has been used throughout.

Upon arrival, you’ll find a gravelled driveway with garage and a paved patio trimming a big front lawn. A welcome surprise awaits to the rear – an extensive mature garden offering a wildlife-friendly oasis from city life.

Easy Living

Step up to a statement front door framed by a canopy and traditional-style outdoor lights before entering an n-shaped hallway where tiled flooring with underfloor heating gleam under recessed LED downlights.

Just to your left is a cosy carpeted lounge/fourth bedroom with a wall-mounted TV point and plenty of chrome sockets – great for gaming or operating multiple devices. A latticed casement window overlooks the front lawn and illuminates the room alongside a central light fitting.

Straight ahead from the hallway is a superbly sized formal living room jutting into the garden. Beyond a string of recessed downlights, glazed double doors and windows soak in the spectacular lawn, creating a lovely aspect for parties or just sitting quietly with a book. To one side, a sleek mounted electric fire acts as a natural focal point and provides comfort in the evenings.

Return to the hallway to follow the tiles into a sophisticated dining kitchen with underfloor heating. Here, downlighters brighten a vanished wooden breakfast bar and wrap-around cabinets with chrome handles, worktops, and a two-tone tiled splashback. Integrated appliances include Neff double ovens and microwave, a six-ring gas hob with De Dietrich extractor hood, a concealed dishwasher and stainless-steel sink with Grohe mixer tap. There’s also space for an American-style fridge-freezer and loads of chrome sockets for essential cooking gadgets.

To the spacious dining area, a high wall-mounted TV point ensures you don’t miss out on your favourite shows while you’re busy prepping meals. Double doors also draw in natural light and allow you to watch the birds while enjoying a coffee, while a smart vertical radiator keeps everyone warm at the table.

Continue through into a separate part-tiled utility and spice kitchen, which features a gas cooker with extractor, a second stainless steel sink, plenty of cream cabinets with worktops, and space for two laundry appliances and a freestanding fridge. With so much storage for all your spices and baking supplies, you can get creative with flavours while the main kitchen stays guest-ready.

Just ahead, you’ll find internal access into the garage, which has double doors to the driveway.

Quiet & Peaceful

The sleeping quarters lie on the right side of the bungalow just past the bend in the hallway, subtly dividing the reception areas from the private wing.

Discover the principal bedroom to the right – a generous double with a latticed casement window to the front lawn and plenty of room for fitted or freestanding wardrobes. A refined en suite with greyscale-style tiling with underfloor heating, double shower enclosure with thermostatic fixed and flexible head showers, chrome heated towel rail, floating vanity basin unit and a modern loo completes the master.

Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double overlooking the back garden. Adjacent is a gorgeously tiled family bathroom with recessed downlights and underfloor heating, a separate bath and double shower enclosure with thermostatic fixed and flexible head showers, chrome heated towel rail, glossy vanity basin unit and close-coupled loo with a hand-held bidet attachment.

Opposite the family bathroom, bedroom three has a radiator and a uPVC double glazed window overlooking the front lawn and would make a lovely nursery, kid’s room or home office.

A Tranquil Haven

Outside, a substantial enclosed garden filled with mature trees, shrubs and hedgerow waits to delight you and your loved ones. Accessed from the kitchen, living room, or via a side gate, the big paved terrace sets the scene for barbeques, parties, and quiet al fresco lunches with friends. Beyond, the lawn meanders around tree trunks, shady canopies and flower borders to create more private areas in the garden and lots of opportunities for birds, bees, and butterflies to flourish.

On Your Doorstep

Oadby is a small town some three miles from Leicester catering for all your day to day needs. The Broadway sits between the university’s botanical gardens and Leicester Golf Club, with the readily accessible A6 providing a quick route to the city or down to Market Harborough.

Oadby has plenty of supermarkets, pubs and restaurants, with even more choice down the road at Wigston. Several local primary schools are rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, with the independent Leicester High School for Girls just around the corner.

There are many sporting opportunities nearby, including football and rugby clubs, golf courses and riding stables. The Roger Bettles Sports Centre has a large gym, swimming pool with sauna and steam room, and several courts.

For outdoor pursuits, you can be roaming the grounds of either Knighton or Victoria Park within a five-minute drive. The latter boasts 69 acres of open green space with tennis courts and football pitches, with the De Montfort Hall concert venue and Leicester University just on the other side.
