Scraptoft

Positioned overlooking an attractive green space and children’s play area within the highly regarded Goodridge development, this impressive five-bedroom detached family home was built by Bellway Homes in 2019 to their sought-after ‘Welford’ design and offers approximately 1,800 sq. ft. of beautifully presented accommodation ideal for growing families seeking both space and practicality.

Occupying an enviable position with a peaceful outlook to the front and countryside walks close by, the property is presented in excellent condition throughout with a bright, neutral aesthetic and a superb balance of reception and entertaining space.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming central entrance hall finished with contemporary tiled flooring and stairs rising to the first-floor landing. Positioned to the front elevation is a generous living room enjoying views across the green space opposite, creating a calm and relaxing reception area away from the main entertaining space.

Undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home is the superb open-plan kitchen/dining room extending across the full width of the rear elevation. Designed very much with modern family living in mind, the space comfortably accommodates a substantial dining arrangement whilst still retaining ample room for informal seating and day-to-day family use. Two sets of French doors open directly onto the landscaped rear garden, flooding the room with natural light and creating an excellent connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The kitchen area itself is positioned beneath a partially vaulted ceiling with Velux roof windows, enhancing the sense of light and space further. Fitted with contemporary gloss white handleless cabinetry complemented by oak-effect work surfaces, the kitchen incorporates a central island with breakfast bar seating together with a full range of integrated appliances including fridge/freezer, oven, grill, gas hob and dishwasher. A separate utility area provides additional storage, an integrated washing machine, secondary sink, access to the downstairs WC and internal access into the integral double garage.

To the first floor are five well-proportioned bedrooms together with a four-piece family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys attractive views to the front aspect and benefits from fitted his-and-hers wardrobes together with a spacious ensuite bathroom featuring a panelled bath, double-width shower enclosure, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. Bedroom two also benefits from fitted wardrobes and its own ensuite shower room. Bedroom three is a generous double bedroom enjoying views across the front aspect, whilst bedroom four includes fitted sliding wardrobes. Bedroom five is currently utilised as a home office, offering flexibility for buyers requiring dedicated work-from-home space.

Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a variety of seating and entertaining areas designed to capture the sun throughout the day. Immediately adjoining the property are two paved patio seating areas together with a timber deck, whilst a further gravelled seating area positioned beneath a timber pergola creates an attractive focal point within the garden. The remainder is mainly laid to lawn with stepping-stone pathways, raised planted borders and timber fenced boundaries.

To the front of the property is extensive driveway parking for up to five vehicles leading to the integral double garage, together with an EV charging point.

Further benefits include gas-fired central heating, excellent broadband connectivity, the remainder of the NHBC warranty and an EPC rating of B.

Scraptoft remains one of east Leicestershire’s most desirable village locations, offering excellent access to Leicester city centre whilst retaining a strong village feel, with nearby countryside walks, reputable local schooling and everyday amenities all within easy reach.
