Detailed Description

*rare development opportunity in A prime location*

The Oadby Estates Residence Collection are proud to present to the market this elegant and spacious Edwardian family home, located in the sought-after village of Thurnby - LE7. Tucked away behind mature yew trees and established shrubbery, this stunning property enjoys a high degree of privacy and sits within beautifully maintained gardens. This property has the potential to develop further with an additional dwelling or an extension to the current property.

In brief, the property comprises of a welcoming porch, a grand entrance hallway with oak flooring dining room, lounge featuring a stone fireplace and a separate sitting room with patio doors opening onto the rear garden. The spacious dining kitchen offers an ideal space for family living and entertaining, complemented by a study/ground floor bedroom, utility room, ground floor WC and a separate shower room.

The property is approached via a generous driveway that runs through an expansive front garden, leading to a detached double garage complete with a stable and additional outbuilding.
To the rear of the property boasts a beautifully landscaped and mature garden which is not overlooked, offering a peaceful and private outdoor space ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The rear section of the garden presents a valuable opportunity for further development, offering ample space that is well-suited for the construction of an additional dwelling, such as a guest house or self-contained annex. Alternatively, it could accommodate a spacious outhouse, studio or home office. This would be subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions from the local authority, but the generous proportions add significant potential for development.
