4 bed detached house for sale

Cricketers Close, Scraptoft LE7

Set in a peaceful spot overlooking a tree-lined walkway, this attractive double bay-fronted detached home is perfect for growing families in search of more space — and excellent value — in a sought-after village location.

Built in 2015 by Persimmon Homes, the property is ideally situated on a no-through road, making it quiet, safe, and ideal for families with children. It’s just a short walk to the village centre where you’ll find a shop, post office, and local parks — and families will appreciate the proximity to well-regarded schools, including feeder access to Gartree and Beauchamp Colleges.

Step inside and you’ll find a light-filled entrance hallway with understairs storage and a handy downstairs WC. At the front of the home are two versatile reception rooms: A bay-fronted lounge for relaxing, and a second bay-fronted room which would make the perfect space for working from home or as a playroom.

To the rear, the spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is the heart of the home. With sleek gloss units, integrated appliances (including an Electrolux double oven, gas hob, fridge, freezer and dishwasher), and plenty of worktop space, it’s a great setup for everyday family life or entertaining. French doors open onto a large decked area — ideal for summer BBQs. A separate utility room offers more storage, houses the boiler, and has space for laundry appliances.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms — all complete with built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom includes a modern en-suite shower room, while the others are served by a family bathroom with a clean, neutral finish.

Outside, the south-west facing rear garden is low maintenance and family-friendly, featuring a level artificial lawn, raised decking with integrated lighting, gravelled borders, and floral beds — plus handy outdoor power and a tap.

The property stands behind a neat, block paved frontage with a driveway to the side of the home providing off-road parking for two to three cars. The driveway leads to a single garage with power and lighting. The garage, while currently used for storage, could easily be repurposed as a home gym, workshop or hobby space.

With gas central heating, an energy-efficient B rating, and neutral décor throughout, this home is ready to move into — with plenty of scope to update and personalise over time.

If you’re looking for one of the area’s more affordable four-bedroom detached homes, in a peaceful yet well-connected spot, this could be the one!
