2 bed detached bungalow for sale

Prince Drive, Oadby LE2

Positioned discreetly on a peaceful residential street in the heart of Oadby, this thoughtfully designed detached two-bedroom bungalow offers a compelling synthesis of space, natural light and understated charm. Surrounded by mature greenery and benefitting from both privacy and proximity to the village’s excellent amenities, the home has been lovingly maintained for over 40 years and presents a rare opportunity for single-storey living without compromise. Positioned on a particularly wide plot, arguably one of the largest on the road, the property has incredible scope for remodelling.

The approach is quietly impressive, with a neat block-paved driveway framed by manicured hedging and a soft lawn. A recessed porch leads into a wide entrance hallway, setting a generous tone immediately, with warm timber flooring underfoot and an intuitive flow guiding you through the principal rooms. At the core of the home lies a beautifully proportioned sitting room, oriented to capture natural light throughout the day via broad picture windows to the front and side. The space is anchored by clean lines and a subtle palette, creating an ideal setting for both quiet retreat and sociable gatherings. Beyond, the dining area is equally bright and generous, benefitting from glazed French doors that lead directly onto the rear garden, a gentle extension of the living space into the open air.

The kitchen is both practical and quietly elegant, designed with everyday life in mind. Here, sleek cabinetry is paired with stone-effect worktops, while integrated Neff appliances and generous storage ensure the space remains both functional and visually calm. Adjacent, a newly fitted conservatory which is less than a year old offers a versatile additional living space, bathed in sunlight and perfect as a breakfast room, garden room or creative studio. Two well-proportioned double bedrooms are positioned along a private corridor, both offering generous built-in storage and views of either the quiet street scene or the rear garden.The bathroom is elegantly appointed, with contemporary fittings, a full-size bath and overhead shower, and polished chrome details throughout. A separate WC adds convenience for guests. Practicality is woven seamlessly into the design, with a large utility room situated just off the kitchen and direct access to an integral garage, an especially valuable feature in such a well-located home. The garage offers additional storage and potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

The rear garden is a particularly special feature of the property — a private, south-facing oasis with a level lawn, well-tended planting and mature trees offering dappled shade. Various seating areas are nestled around the garden’s edge, creating space to follow the sun or enjoy a quiet morning coffee in peace. The space here offers incredible potential for remodelling and extension, subject to all the necessary consents.

Oadby itself remains one of Leicestershire’s most desirable residential areas, prized for its balance of village charm and urban connectivity. Excellent schooling, independent shops, cafes and green spaces are all within easy reach, while Leicester city centre is a short drive away, offering access to mainline rail services and a wide array of cultural attractions.

This is a home of quiet dignity, inviting, unpretentious and perfectly attuned to modern life. It would suit a wide range of buyers, from downsizers seeking comfort and convenience, to young professionals or small families drawn to the village lifestyle and excellent location.
