3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Holmfield Avenue East, Leicester LE3

From the moment you arrive on Braunstone Lane, it’s clear this is a home that offers more than most. Sitting proudly on a generous corner plot, this extended three-bedroom semi-detached property enjoys wrap-around gardens, fantastic natural light and a layout that simply works for everyday living.

You approach the house through a secure gated garden, entering via a welcoming porch before stepping into a bright entrance hall. The tiled flooring immediately sets the tone, with stairs rising to the first floor, useful understairs storage, and doors leading off to the main living spaces, including a modern downstairs shower room, ideal for busy mornings or visiting guests.

At the front of the house, the lounge is a real highlight. With a beautiful wooden floor, an oversized feature radiator and a bay window complemented by additional side windows, it’s a room that feels both cosy and airy at the same time. The electric fireplace creates a lovely focal point, making this a great space to unwind in the evenings. There is currently a lift connecting this room to the main bedroom upstairs, which can remain if required or be easily removed to suit a buyer’s needs.

The ground floor shower room is finished to a modern standard, with tiled floors and walls, a walk-in double shower, WC, hand basin with storage and a contemporary towel radiator, a practical and stylish addition to the home.

To the rear, the house really comes into its own. The extended kitchen, dining and family space is designed for modern living, combining everyday functionality with a sense of openness. The original dining area flows seamlessly into the extension, with wooden flooring and a bay window that opens out to the garden, perfect for family meals or entertaining.

The kitchen itself is flooded with light thanks to oversized side windows and patio doors leading directly out to the garden. There’s also a rear-facing window overlooking the outdoor space. Fitted with a range of base and wall units, solid worktops and a porcelain Belfast-style sink, the kitchen is both practical and attractive. Integrated neff appliances include double ovens, an induction hob with extractor, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, all thoughtfully incorporated to keep the space clean and uncluttered.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom sits at the front of the property and mirrors the lounge below, with exposed wooden floorboards, a bay window and additional side windows creating a bright, airy feel. This is where the lift currently arrives, again offering flexibility depending on a buyer’s requirements.

The second bedroom enjoys views over the garden with windows to the rear and side, exposed flooring and a built-in storage cupboard. The third bedroom is currently set up as a home office with fitted storage, but with removal of the units it could comfortably accommodate a single bed.

The family bathroom services all three bedrooms and features a walk-in double shower, WC, hand basin, towel radiator and a window providing natural ventilation and garden views.

Outside, the corner plot really sets this home apart. The garden wraps around from front to back and offers a variety of spaces to enjoy. To the front, there’s a shaped lawn with mature shrubs and planting, while the side garden features gravelled areas, established trees, a small pond and a raised composite decking area, perfect for outdoor seating. There’s also a greenhouse and gated access to the driveway, which leads to a detached single garage, adding valuable parking and storage.

The location is another major plus. Positioned on Braunstone Lane near Braunstone Crossroads, the property benefits from excellent access to the A46, regular bus routes into Leicester city centre, and nearby local shops including a Co-op, making day-to-day life incredibly convenient.

This is a home that would suit a young family looking to move straight in, or a couple seeking space, light and a well-connected location, with plenty of scope to personalise over time. A lovely house, in a great spot, offering flexibility, comfort and genuine lifestyle appeal
