Welcome to 9 Ford View Close – a rare opportunity to acquire a three or four bedroomed detached bungalow with significant development opportunity. The property is quietly nestled in a very desirable cul-de-sac within the sought-after village of Great Glen. Offering spacious single-level living, generous gardens, and a private driveway with double tandem garage, this property is ideal for downsizers, families, or anyone seeking a peaceful yet well-connected home. The property could easily be extended, and the extensive garden with direct road access could provide an opportunity for the development of a further property, subject to planning consent.

As you approach the property, you're greeted by a frontage with mature planting, a lawned area, and a spacious driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, along with access to the detached garage.

Step inside to a welcoming entrance hallway, providing access to all principal rooms. The heart of the home is the bright and generously sized living room, featuring a large window and access to the sun room that flood the room with natural light and offers an inviting atmosphere for relaxing or entertaining.

The kitchen although functional would benefit from updating. It is fitted with a range of wall and base units, ample worktop space, and room for appliances.

The bungalow offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principle bedroom. The second double bedroom, ideal for guests or family, while the third bedroom offers flexibility as a single bedroom, home office, or hobby space. There is a further room offering versatility as a home office, playroom or further bedroom.

The accommodation is served by a contemporary family shower room, complete with shower, wash basin, WC, and modern tiling for a clean, stylish finish. An additional WC serves the property adding convenience.

Outside

Outside, the property truly shines. The generous private rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, complemented by mature trees and shrubs. A decorative stream flows to one side of the garden which could be culverted if required, adding further to the garden area. A patio seating area with views over open country - perfect for enjoying sunny days and the stunning views.

Location

Great Glen is excellently served by a range of shops, a Pharmacy, Dentist, Co-Op Hairdressers, Cafes, Restaurants and Pubs all within walking distance. Great Glen has one of the highest rated village Post Offices in the region. Oadby and Leicester as well as Kibworth and Market Harborough are served by a frequent bus service or by a short drive away. There is an excellent local primary school. The Leicester Grammar School can be safely walked by children and a bus service serves the Robert Smyth and Welland Park Academy’s in Market Harborough as well as Gartree High School and Beauchamp College in Oadby.
