3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Highfields, Thornton, Leicestershire LE67

Welcome to this beautifully renovated semi-detached home, perfectly nestled in the tranquil and picturesque village of Thornton. Built in 1949 and lovingly restored by its current owner since 2013, this inviting family home is located on a quiet cul-de-sac-just a stone’s throw from the stunning Thornton reservoir with a wealth of green spaces, walking and cycling routes ideal for those who love the outdoors.

Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the neutral décor and the attention to detail throughout. The property has undergone a full replaster and rewire, with energy-efficient LED lighting, extra plug sockets for modern living convenience, and new windows and doors installed in 2014. The welcoming open-plan lounge diner features wooden floors laid just two years ago, a cosy multi-fuel burner set into a beautiful fireplace, and a large front window that bathes the space in natural light. French doors open seamlessly to the rear garden, connecting indoor and outdoor living while offering peaceful garden views.

The sleek, modern shaker-style kitchen is an inviting space at the heart of the home, with natural light streaming in, wood effect worktops, and built-in appliances (just two years old). Perfect for busy families, it boasts built-in pantries, easy garden access, and a handy downstairs WC. It’s ready for anything from a quick weekday breakfast to hosting dinner with friends and family.

Upstairs, you’ll find three generous bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom and a second large double both feature built-in wardrobes and plenty of light, providing serene retreats to unwind. The third bedroom is a roomy single, and could work great as a guest bedroom, an office or a child’s room, complete with over-stairs storage space. The large family bathroom is flooded with natural light from twin windows and includes both a corner bath and overhead shower, hand basin and WC-perfect for busy mornings or pampering evenings.

Step outside, and you’re greeted by a truly special rear garden-a private oasis with established plants, mature shrubs, a beautifully kept lawn, and composite decking (completed April 2025) that wraps around the property. Entertain on a separate patio, potter in your own potting shed, or simply relax in peace. The front enjoys a gravel driveway with Indian sandstone pathways, raised flower beds, and easy access to local amenities, schools, and public transport.

Lovingly maintained, this home would be ideal for first-time buyers, families, or couples seeking space, comfort, and village charm. Council tax band B. Arrange your viewing today-this could be your new home in sought-after Thornton Village!
