Coombe Rise, Oadby, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE2

This significantly extended three/four bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous South facing plot within a highly sought after residential area. The home is conveniently located for a plethora of local amenities including supermarkets, a wide array of shops and eateries as well as medical and leisure facilities. The home is within walking distance of the highly regarded Beauchamp College and is also within the catchment for the Gartree High School. Commuters will enjoy excellent roads links into the city of Leicester via the A6. Dog walkers and those who enjoy exploring locally will also appreciate the nearby Brocks Hill Park. The home is beautifully presented having been comprehensively improved and enlarged by the current owners.

The home is accessed via the main front door that takes you into a porch. A further door leads into a light and spacious entrance hall that has stairs rising to the first floor with a useful under stairs storage cupboard. Doors from the hallway open to the main lounge and kitchen diner.

The kitchen diner has been extended to the front in line with the porch. Although not the largest of extensions it does make a significant difference internally, especially compared to neighbouring properties where the kitchen is the original size. A dual aspect space the kitchen has an extensive range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer. Integral appliances include a gas hob, built-in double oven, fridge and dishwasher. In addition, there is space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs and a door provides access to the side and front of the home and can be used as an alternative access to the main front door.

The main lounge has also been extended creating a spacious reception room that can accommodate an array of living room furniture. Again, the room is filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a set of French patio doors that are flanked on both sides by floor to ceiling windows. A focal point of the room is provided by a feature fireplace set onto a central chimney breast.

A door from the lounge opens to a very versatile room, again created through extension. This room has had many uses including a fourth ground floor bedroom but it also could be used as a second sitting room, office space, play room or even a gym. It is a really useful additional area that, like the main lounge, enjoys views over the garden.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys views over the garden and benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom is also a double room with a window to the front elevation. The third bedroom is a single room and is situated toward the rear of the property and offers views to Glen Gorse golf course.

Finally, there is a refitted shower room comprising a three piece suite to include a large walk-in shower, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a wall mounted storage unit.

To the front of the home a part shingle laid driveway means there is ample off-road parking with a paved section leading to a single garage. The garage has light and power and provides additional utility and storage space. There is also a custom made gate to the rear which is an area larger than many of the neighbouring properties. It is also worth noting the ultra-fast internet cabling has been laid along Coombe Rise and is available for connection.

At the rear is a mature but relatively low maintenance garden with a paved patio seating area and a lawn that is surrounded by planted borders. The garden is private, South facing and also has two timber built storage sheds. The plot would also allow scope for further extension, subject to local planning, especially over the garage if further bedrooms are required.

This delightful home is spacious and versatile and has wide ranging appeal. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
