3 bed semi-detached house for sale

St. James Close, Oadby, Leicester, Leicestershire LE2

This charming three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous and very well tended plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position and a highly sought after residential area. The home is conveniently located for a plethora of local amenities but for many buyers and families it will be the fact that the highly regarded Beauchamp College is within walking distance of the property. In addition, to the school, large supermarkets, Oadby's parade of smaller shops and eateries as well as Parklands leisure centre are all in close proximity.

The accommodation itself is well presented and has been very well looked after by long standing owners who have lived there for fifty years. There is a delightful homely feel as you walk around the property and although some cosmetic updating may well be required the home has obviously been much loved and well cared for.

You enter the property via a covered porch and through a further door into an entrance hall. The entrance hall has a useful built-in storage/cloakroom cupboard and stairs rising to the first floor. There is a further storage cupboard under the stairs. Doors from the entrance hall open to the kitchen and lounge.

The main lounge is spacious with a large window to the front elevation that fills the room with plenty of natural light. A focal point to the room is provided by a contemporary feature gas fire that is inset into an angled chimney breast. A set of double doors then open to a dining area. These doors can be folded right back to create a single large reception space ideal for larger gatherings. The dining area has a window to the rear elevation that overlooks the garden. A door from the dining area also leads through to the kitchen.

The kitchen, again, overlooks the garden and includes a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a composite sink and drainer. There is an integral gas hob with built-in electric oven underneath. There is also space for a fridge freezer and plumbing for a washing machine that is positioned below a built-in pantry cupboard. A back door provides access to the side of the home. The kitchen could be enlarged by either extension or knocking through to the dining area to create a larger kitchen diner if preferred.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a good size double room with a window to the front and benefits from a built-in double wardrobe and overhead storage with a dressing area between. The second bedroom is also a double room that overlooks the garden. The third bedroom is a versatile single room that could be used as an office or study space if not required as a bedroom.

Finally, there is a family bathroom which comprises a three piece suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a large driveway provides ample off-road parking and a neatly manicured front garden enhances the homes kerb appeal. The driveway extends down the side of the property and leads to a detached single garage set back to the rear.

At the rear is a beautifully tended garden with a paved patio seating area and a perfectly mowed lawn flanked by a path on one side and a planted bed on the other containing a variety of flora. The garden also has a timber-built storage shed and potting shed.

This really is a superb family home that warrants serious consideration from a wide range of potential buyers. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
