Cheney End, Huncote, Leicester LE9

If you are looking for space, a village location and a large private plot, this exceptional family home could be exactly what you have been waiting for.

Tucked away close to the heart of the sought-after village of Huncote, and positioned at the end of Cheney End in a private setting, this substantial detached home offers over 3,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation, sitting on a stunning plot of nearly half an acre with beautifully mature and private gardens. The size of the plot also offers potential for further extension or even the creation of a separate dwelling, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property is entered via a spacious and impressive entrance hallway which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home, featuring an oak staircase and oak internal doors leading to the ground floor accommodation.

To the front of the property are two reception rooms, offering flexible living space. One is currently used as a cosy snug, while the second is a superb main living room with vaulted ceiling and feature fireplace, creating a wonderful focal point and an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. There is also a large ground floor WC located off the hallway.

To the rear of the property is the heart of the home — a fantastic open-plan living kitchen, designed for modern family life. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of base and larder units, complemented by marble worktops and a high specification range of integrated appliances, including De Dietrich appliances, comprising two ovens, steam oven, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher, induction hob and induction wok plate.
The room offers ample space for dining and seating, with a feature log burner and bi-folding doors opening onto the patio and enjoying beautiful views over the rear garden. The kitchen also provides access to a large conservatory, offering an additional reception space ideal for relaxing while overlooking the garden, and benefiting from boiler-fed underfloor heating.

A generous utility room completes the ground floor. Originally the kitchen, this room is fitted with further base and eye-level units with marble worktops, space for appliances, oven, a gas hob, and the boiler neatly concealed within a cupboard. The utility room also benefits from electric underfloor heating, providing excellent practical space for a busy family home.

To the first floor, the property continues to impress with five double bedrooms.
The principal suite is particularly spacious and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, modern en-suite shower room and French doors opening onto a private terrace, a perfect spot to enjoy views over the garden.

Of the remaining four bedrooms, three benefit from fitted wardrobes, and two share a Jack-and-Jill style en-suite shower room. A separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Externally, the property sits on an established plot of nearly 1/2 acre, surrounded by mature trees which provide a high level of privacy.
To the front is a large driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, along with a detached log cabin garage.

The rear garden is a particular feature of the home, being generous in size and beautifully established with mature trees, shrubs and lawned areas, creating a peaceful and secluded outdoor space. There is a large patio area directly outside the bi-folding doors, ideal for entertaining, along with a permanent gazebo providing shade and shelter throughout the year.

Offering space, flexibility and privacy in a peaceful village setting, yet within easy reach of local amenities, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a substantial family home in one of the area’s most desirable locations. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this property has to offer.
