Situated on a popular residential street in the sought-after East Leicestershire village of Thurnby, this four-bedroom detached family home has been thoughtfully extended to offer multiple reception rooms, a beautiful rear garden, and a double garage. Well cared for by its current owners, the property provides spacious and versatile accommodation, ideal for modern family living.

With excellent local amenities, highly regarded schools, and convenient transport links to Leicester and beyond, this home offers the perfect blend of village life and accessibility.

Ground Floor

A useful enclosed porch provides a practical space for coats and shoes and offers internal access to the double garage. From here, the entrance hall leads to the living room, kitchen, guest WC, and staircase to the first floor.

The living room is generously sized, positioned at the front of the home, and benefits from a large bay window, flooding the space with natural light. A gas fireplace with a decorative stone surround provides a charming focal point, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Double doors connect the living room to the dining room, which enjoys views over the garden and direct access via fully glazed sliding patio doors. The space comfortably accommodates a six-seat dining table, with a convenient recessed corner for additional dining furniture suh as a dresser or sideboard.

The kitchen has been modernised with high-gloss white units, offering ample storage and generous worktop space for food preparation. It features a range cooker with an extractor hood, a stainless steel sink, and space for a dishwasher and fridge freezer. The pantry cupboard is a rare but welcome find and provides additional storage, while two large windows fill the room with natural light and offer pleasant views of the garden.

A door leads from the kitchen into the utility room, which is fitted with units matching those found in the kitchen and includes a stainless steel sink, along with space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. A further door provides access to the rear garden.

Beyond the utility room is a study, a private and quiet space ideal for working from home. The study benefits from underfloor heating and an electric heater, ensuring year-round comfort. With lovely views over the garden, this space is also versatile enough to be used as an additional bedroom if required, particularly as it is located adjacent to the ‘Jack-and-Jill’ shower room/ Guest WC, which is accessible from both the utility room and entrance hall.

First Floor

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which are comfortable double rooms offering ample space for beds and furniture. Each benefits from built-in storage and enjoys views over either the front or rear of the home.

The fourth bedroom, currently used as a home office, is a spacious single room, which could also function as a nursery or dressing room if desired.

A refitted family shower room serves all the bedrooms, featuring a double-width shower enclosure, a pedestal hand wash basin, and a WC. The room is fully tiled and benefits from underfloor heating, along with a heated towel rail for added comfort.

Outside the Home

The property boasts excellent curb appeal, with a well-maintained frontage. A large tarmac driveway leads to the double garage, providing off-road parking for two vehicles. To the left of the driveway, a neatly maintained lawn is bordered by box hedging and features a Weeping Birch tree, adding to the character of the exterior.

The rear garden is a standout feature, beautifully landscaped to offer both relaxation and entertaining spaces. A wide patio spans the width of the house, providing multiple seating areas, perfect for outdoor dining and socialising. Steps lead up to a generous and well-maintained lawn, surrounded by mature flower beds that burst with colour in the spring and summer months.

At the centre of the garden is a mature apple tree, while two additional seating areas offer further flexibility. One area features a patio, ideal for alfresco dining, while the other houses a summer house, perfectly positioned to capture the late afternoon and evening sun, providing a peaceful retreat.
