3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Richard Close, Leicester, Leicestershire LE3

This spacious and well presented three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous and private plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position. Already extended with an addition to the dining room and an entrance/lobby area between the house and garage there is certainly scope for further development especially to the side of the property where further reception or bedroom space could be added. The home has been substantially improved by the current owners during their time there including a refitted kitchen and shower room. The home is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities with a range of supermarkets, services and eateries all within a short drive away. The home is also close to several highly regarded schools including Fossebrook Primary, Kingsway Primary and Winstanley High School. For commuters there are excellent road links into the city of Leicester and to Fosse Park and Junction 21 M1/M69.

Access to the property is via a generous lobby/utility space created through an extension that connects the main house with the garage. This useful space area offers cloakroom and storage space and with a door opening to the back garden, side access is also retained.

A further door from the lobby leads through to a fantastic lounge but not before passing the stairs that rise to the first floor landing. The lounge is spacious and with two large windows to the front elevation is flooded with natural light. The main focal point of the room is a delightful future fireplace set onto a central chimney breast, and in which sits a living flame gas fire. A door adjacent to the fireplace opens to an extended dining room.

The dining room has been extended and, as a result, has become a dual aspect space with an added window to the side alongside the window to the rear which again enhances the light within the room. There is ample space for a large table and chairs ideal for family meals and diner parties with friends. A door from the dining room opens to the kitchen.

The kitchen has been refitted to include a range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with a modern high gloss finish. There is a stylish composite one and a bowl sink and drainer, integral gas hob with extractor hood over, and built-in electric oven underneath. In addition, there is space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. Further storage is provided by an under stairs pantry cupboard and a back door opens to the rear garden. Buyers who wish to enlarge the kitchen could do this by knocking through to the adjacent dining room, perhaps a more cost effective method than extension which is another valid way of creating more kitchen space.

To the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, the principal bedroom is situated toward the front of the home and with the second bedroom enjoying views over the garden. The second bedroom also benefits from a wall of built-in wardrobes and storage. The third single bedroom is a versatile space that could be used as office space for those who may work from home or a dressing room if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

Also on the first floor is a magnificent refitted, fully tiled shower room comprising a contemporary three piece white suite to include a large walk-in shower with fixed screen, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a lawned garden enhances kerb appeal and the feeling of space. Adjacent to the lawn is a hard standing driveway that provides off-road parking as well as direct car access to the garage. The garage has light and power and an up and over main door. If not used for parking the garage offers more storage and utility space. At the rear is a private garden with a raised patio seating area with shallow steps down to a lawn with planted border.

This is a superb home ideal for first time purchasers and young families. The home offers versatile accommodation to suit many lifestyles and has the potential for further development that would add space and value. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
