5 bed detached house for sale

Wigston Road, Oadby LE2

An extended, beautifully designed five-bedroom detached home situated in the heart of Oadby, blending early 20th-century charm with thoughtful modern interventions, set within a mature, private and established rear garden, offered with no upwards chain.

Standing proud on a highly-sought after residential road, this beautifully proportioned family home has been carefully updated to create a series of light-filled, flowing spaces that balance period character with modern practicality. Spanning over 1,500 sq ft, the interiors retain many original features: Solid wood floors, open fireplaces, and expansive windows while subtle upgrades enhance the sense of comfort and functionality throughout.

A generous entrance hall, laid with rich timber flooring, sets a warm and welcoming tone. To one side, the formal living room is centred around a working open fire while the opposite side of the house accommodates a versatile home office or playroom, bathed in natural light through large double-glazed windows. The rear of the home opens into a large lounge-dining area, where glazed doors connect directly to the garden terrace, offering a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. This sociable space is ideal for entertaining or al-fresco dining. Adjoining this is a well-appointed dining kitchen, the heart of the home, fitted with generous work surfaces, integrated appliances, and ample room for casual family dining. A separate utility room and a discreet downstairs cloakroom complete the ground floor.

The upper level houses five beautifully proportioned bedrooms, each filled with natural light and offering a sense of calm retreat. The four-piece family bathroom is a standout feature, with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower. A fully boarded loft with additional skylights provides further scope for storage or potential conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

Outside, the rear garden offers a rare sense of privacy, enclosed by mature trees and planting. It’s a peaceful, green escape ideal for alfresco dining, gardening, or simply enjoying the quiet surroundings whilst being extensive in size.

Offered with no upwards chain, an early viewing is essential to appreciate the space and flexibility the home has to offer.
