Property description

The sought-after Wimborne Road is tucked quietly into the heart of ever-popular suburb of Knighton, surrounded by peace, tranquility and lined with beautiful homes. This property is no exception and first impressions on the drive in are excellent.

Knighton has been around since the Doomsday book, and still gives the air of village life with many original buildings and with the historic village core a designated conservation area. Its proximity to Stoneygate and Oadby has placed it with good reason as an extremely favoured location within Leicestershire - its ease of access to excellent schools and a wealth of leisure, medical and recreational facilities provide all amenities at a stone’s throw. Sitting in the most sought-after Leicestershire postcode, and with Leicester city centre a mere two-mile commute and City mainline rail connections to London taking approximately 1 hour, that commute is one thing less to worry about. It really does have it all here.

Park on the driveway, by the house or in the double garage. Outside, the views over Leicester Racecourse and beyond, and the rustle of leaves from the beautifully mature trees herald your arrival. Tucked away from the world, yet close to the village, peace and privacy await.

Step inside, through the storm porch and glazed period front doorway onto the wooden floors of a bright, airy entrance hall, where the staircase sweeps to the right and up to the first floor. Elegantly neutral décor and wooden floors, tasteful carpet and tiles run throughout the ground floor invoking a warm welcome to all. Doors to the living room, family room and kitchen-dining rooms also lead from here.

Light streams into the living room through the huge bay window with views to the front of the property. Snuggle up in front of the fireplace where the wood burning stove provides instant warmth and ambience. There is room for the largest of furniture in here, and is the perfect place to house a library of books.

The family room is flooded with light from the large windows and French doors leading to an outside patio area bring the outside in with ease, continuing the sense of space and tranquility so evident in this home. Just the ticket for those cosy winter nights in with a movie or a games night full of fun and laughter.

Enter into the kitchen/diner, with room for the largest of tables. Another set of French doors open out to the south-facing patio and sun-filled garden, where the opportunity for alfresco dining and entertaining when the sun is shining is not to be missed!

Ample storage for all your culinary essentials is nestled between the top of the range integrated appliances. An open concept, access to the double garage and tiled floors show the real practical side to the space and the opportunities for updates are only limited by your imagination.

Returning to the entrance hallway, take that carpeted staircase up to the first floor. The stairs and landing are bright, light and crisp, with a neutral palate primed for your finishing touches.

Refresh yourself in the large family bathroom, full of elegant practicality – just right for taking the edge off those busy mornings and washing away the hours after a long day in the tub or separate shower cubicle. A second WC is also on this floor, providing those extra essentials for when needs must.

Take a look at the light-filled second bedroom, with windows out over the extensive garden and beyond the Racecourse and golf course grounds. Built-in furniture contains storage solutions for all eventualities and there is plenty of room for a nice big bed.

Two more bedrooms, both with large windows giving tonnes of natural light gives a real feeling of calm and peacefulness in which to bed down for the night, or turn into a home office or nursery.

Returning along the landing, step into the master bedroom, furnished with lovely views to the front of the property beyond the statement bay window. There is ample room for the biggest of beds and beautiful wooden floors bring a lovely feeling of calm to this space, where light, bright tones by day turn to cool and restful ones by night.

Returning downstairs, slip out into the manicured, yet low maintenance rear garden. This plot is huge – a blank, grassy canvas ready and waiting for the good life. Large, established trees and mature hedges provide privacy and a backdrop to what could be your dream garden.

The land to the side of this property has planning permission for a large extension to the current house or to build a separate three-bedroom detached dwelling. The possibilities for this home and garden are endless and are waiting for you to come fulfil your dreams.
