Set on a peaceful residential street in the heart of Thurnby, this charming two-bedroom detached bungalow offers the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and single-storey living. Ideal for downsizers, those seeking a low-maintenance home, or anyone looking for a relaxed lifestyle without compromising on proximity to local amenities, this property enjoys a quiet, friendly neighbourhood atmosphere while remaining within easy reach of Leicester city centre.

A warm welcome

A side porch opens into a central entrance hallway, providing a bright and welcoming introduction to the home. The hallway features two fitted cupboards, perfect for storing coats, shoes, and household essentials, and offers access to the loft. From here, doors lead to all principal rooms, creating a practical and flowing layout.

Relaxed living space

At the front of the home, the living room is a light-filled and inviting space, boasting a large picture window that floods the room with natural light. A gas fireplace serves as the focal point, ideal for cosy evenings, and modern downlighting adds a subtle contemporary touch. This versatile space offers plenty of room for both relaxing and entertaining guests.

Stylish, functional kitchen

The recently refurbished kitchen is also positioned at the front and benefits from both front and side-facing windows, ensuring a bright and airy environment. A matching range of base and eye-level units provides ample storage, while generous worktop space allows for cooking and meal preparation. The kitchen accommodates freestanding appliances and even a small breakfast table, creating a perfect spot for casual dining. For more formal meals, the second bedroom is currently used as a dining room, offering a flexible solution to suit your lifestyle.

Comfortable bedrooms

At the rear of the bungalow, two double bedrooms both enjoy views over the private, non-overlooked garden. The main bedroom is slightly larger and both feature fitted wardrobes, providing practical storage while maintaining a sense of space and comfort. Bedroom two is currently set up as a dining room, illustrating the home’s adaptable layout.

Modern bathroom

Serving both bedrooms, the bathroom has been updated in recent years and features a four-piece suite comprising a panelled bath, shower enclosure, pedestal sink, WC, and a heated towel rail — combining modern convenience with a touch of luxury.

Private outdoor space

The bungalow is approached via a neat front lawn with well-stocked flowerbeds, and a tarmac driveway to the side provides off-road parking and leads to a single garage with power, lighting, and a personal rear door.

The rear garden is a real highlight of the property — fully enclosed, mainly laid to lawn, and flanked by mature flowerbeds. A patio area adjoining the house creates an ideal space for outdoor dining, summer barbecues, or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee surrounded by greenery. Its north-facing orientation ensures a private and peaceful outdoor retreat.

Location and lifestyle

Anthony Drive is a sought-after, quiet street, popular with downsizers and those seeking a relaxed pace of life. Within walking distance, residents will find a Co-op, bus stops for easy commuting, and the well-loved Café 55 — perfect for weekend breakfasts or catching up with friends. The home benefits from excellent transport links into Leicester, making it a convenient choice for city access while enjoying the charm and community feel of Thurnby.
