Description
Are you looking for a beautifully presented, generously sized and character-filled family home, complete with a generously sized, beautiful garden in one of the prime locations in Leicestershire?
Then come fall in love with Sunnyfield.
Sunnyfield boasts an expansive in-and-out driveway and parking area, covering approximately 0.20 acres on its own, with the entire plot nearing an acre. Surrounded by beautiful mature trees, this space is rare to come by.
Tastefully finished and full of high-end design, this six-bedroom family home built in the 1930s, with a potential-filled attic, and planning permission in place is a real find.
Sunnyfield is a home that is simply stunning – and that is evident from the very first impression. It may just find an instant connection with your heart and soul…
This property in Oadby is set in an extremely favoured location within Leicester. When it comes to education, the choice locally is second to none. Leicester High School is close by, Beauchamp College and Manor High School are a few miles away, whilst the University of Leicester is a couple of miles to the north – and if children are just beginning their journey, the award-winning Nursery Rhymes is close at hand and various excellent nurseries and schools. Leicester Racecourse and Oadby Parade are nearby and the beautiful Botanical Gardens of the University of Leicester are a joy to visit. It sits in the most sought-after Leicestershire postcode and is surrounded by open green spaces making it perfect for family life - and with Leicester city centre less than a three-mile commute, it really does have it all.
This Arts and Crafts period home is definitely worth a viewing. Expectations when approaching the property are significant and very well met - the much-loved avenue of cherry trees on Southmeads Road is a pleasure to pass by - especially in the springtime - and the property is nestled in extensive landscaped grounds, nearing one acre.
Kerb appeal is not misplaced, and first impressions when pulling onto the private, gated, in-and-out driveway are just lovely. With more than ample parking, take a minute to soak up the leafy surroundings on your approach to the front door. This is one of the only houses on Southmeads Road with this statement drive, pushed back from the road, whilst keeping its beautiful garden and the manicured plot blends seamlessly with the surrounding properties.
Walk through the porch and front door into the generous entrance hall, which leads to the stunning wooden staircase, open plan kitchen, dining and family areas, utility room with spice kitchen, snug, living room and conservatory. The cloakroom and WC complete this glorious ground floor layout, whilst original features grace the rooms giving a real sense of history and place.
The snug is a great size and neutrally decorated. A beautiful bay window lets in oodles of natural light, giving a feeling of cosy and calm. The perfect place for that family film night or to curl up with a good book and have five minutes’ peace.
Pop into the living room with views through its large window over the front of the property and beyond. The feature fireplace and Italian wallpaper give a taste of things to come in this property and create a cool, clean vibe.
The sensational open concept kitchen is the real hub of this home, showcasing open concept living at its best. The bespoke, handmade floor-to-ceiling handleless kitchen units, top of the range integrated appliances, tiled floors (with underfloor heating) and Corian worktops give a real sense of elegance and style. The spice kitchen/utility room is located just next door for all the practicalities of family life, letting this standout space sing - it is more than capable of catering for family dinners and grown-up dinner parties alike.
The conservatory to the rear of the property is full of light and space, with floor to ceiling windows and patio doors opening directly onto the gorgeous garden.
The stunning staircase carries on the feeling of contemporary light and space so evident in this property, and the galleried landing, with doors to five bedrooms (two en suite) and family bathroom, carries on this modern, generous trend. The original 1930’s staircase has been matched and restored by a specialist to retain its grandeur and elegance.
Open the door to the spacious principal bedroom where the large window with Juliet balcony captures the views out over the large rear garden and beyond. The warmth from the underfloor heating in this principal bedroom and en suite set the tone. The décor is neutral and light and there is room for the biggest of beds with furniture to match. A spa-like ensuite bathroom complete is the most elegant space to un wind in, at the end of a busy day – check out the handmade Italian sinks – a sign of the thought and attention to detail seen again and again in this stand-out home.
Return to the landing and pop into bedroom two, where the modern décor is accented to perfection by its large dual aspect windows, giving unrivalled views across the side and rear gardens. A comfortable double with plenty of room for storage, this is a lovely space to bed down for the night – and the en suite shower room makes this space just right for older children or guests alike.
Bedroom three also has that bright, airy feel and garden views to greet you. The natural light brought by its big bay window makes it perfect for a child’s bedroom or nursery perhaps. Bedrooms four and five are a good size with views to the front and rear of the property respectively. They are light and bright, with plenty of space to relax and get a great night’s sleep or use one as a home office.
The incredibly well-appointed family bathroom on this floor, complete with another stunning handmade Italian sink, can keep up with the busiest of mornings with style and grace.
The landing leads to a further set of stairs which in turn lead to bedroom six and attic spaces just right for conversion with plumbing provision and planning permission already in place or simply storage. The possibilities up here are limited only by your imagination.
Take that superb staircase back to the ground floor and step outside into the glorious grounds.
The outside space around this home is absolutely marvellous. Lawned and patio areas with meandering paths are all great spaces to relax and entertain, and the hedged boundaries with bordering established shrubs and trees give a real sense of exclusivity, privacy and peace. This considerable plot nearing an acre of grounds is perfect for escaping from the hustle and bustle of daily life - and entertaining here is fabulous. Large patio spaces offer opportunities for al fresco dining whilst lush lawns are perfect for play time. The borders are full of herbaceous delights and the spacious shed will house all of those garden necessities.
Don’t miss out on the chance to own this incredibly stylish property! Homes like this don’t come up on the market often and they certainly don’t stay there for long. Book a viewing with Alia today.
