Firs Road
Houghton-on-the-Hill

Occupying a generous corner plot on Firs Road, this detached four-bedroom home offers well-proportioned accommodation extending to approximately 1,367 sq ft, together with three reception rooms, a double garage and a south-east facing rear garden. Having remained in the same ownership for over 40 years, the property has clearly been a well-loved family home and now presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a four-bedroom detached property in this sought-after village, whether upsizing locally or looking to settle into village life.

The accommodation begins with an entrance hall where a useful laundry cupboard is located, before opening into the main hallway. From here there are stairs rising to the first floor with a large cupboard beneath, ideal for storing coats and shoes, along with doors leading to all of the principal ground floor rooms.

The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the home with a pleasant outlook over the garden and is fitted with a range of base and wall mounted units providing plenty of storage and worktop space. Appliances include an electric oven and grill with a gas hob set into the worktops, along with a stainless steel sink and space for a dishwasher. There is also room for additional freestanding appliances if required. A door provides convenient access out to the rear garden, making it easy to step outside during the warmer months.

The dining room also enjoys views over the garden and benefits from full-height windows and a sliding patio door that opens directly onto the patio area. The room provides a comfortable setting for family meals and gatherings, with plenty of natural light entering throughout the day.

Positioned at the front of the home, the living room is a bright and welcoming space arranged around a striking brick chimney breast with an inset gas fireplace creating a natural focal point. Two large windows look out over the front garden, allowing the room to feel light and airy. From here, a door leads through to a separate study or home office, providing a quiet and practical space for working from home, hobbies or additional storage if required.

Upstairs, the central landing provides access to four double bedrooms, offering flexibility for families, guest accommodation or additional workspace if needed. One of the bedrooms is currently arranged as a study and benefits from fitted wardrobes, while the main bedroom also includes fitted wardrobes providing useful storage and helping to maximise floor space.

All bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, which features fully tiled walls and is fitted with a bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin, WC and bidet.

Outside, the property stands on a corner plot and sits behind a generous but neatly maintained lawned frontage which gives the house a pleasant sense of space and separation from the road. To the side of the property is the double garage, adjoining the neighbouring garage, fitted with remote-operated roller shutter doors and with parking available for two vehicles directly in front.

The rear garden enjoys a south-east facing aspect, allowing it to benefit from good levels of sunlight throughout the day. A large patio area spans the rear of the property, providing an ideal spot for outdoor seating and entertaining. Beyond this, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with established borders planted with a variety of shrubs, plants and small trees, giving the space a mature and well-kept feel. A side gate provides access to the front of the property, and there is also a personnel door leading directly into the garage.

Houghton on the Hill lies approximately seven miles east of Leicester city centre and is surrounded by some of Leicestershire’s most attractive rolling countryside. The village offers a range of everyday amenities including a village store, pharmacy, post office and social amenities, making it a popular choice for those seeking village living while remaining within convenient reach of the city.
