The Broadway, Oadby, Leicester, LE2

Nestled behind wrought iron gates on the prestigious Broadway in Oadby, this beautifully renovated five bedroom detached home offers the perfect blend of 1950s character and refined modern living. Sitting on just over a third of an acre, with a desirable south facing garden, its classic double bay fronted exterior, rich brickwork, and manicured frontage.

The approach to the property is both impressive and welcoming, with a deep, stamped concrete driveway framed by mature hedging and neat lawns. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully and comprehensively updated by the current owners, who have blended original features with contemporary style, including underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, solid oak doors, and bespoke finishes inspired by Moroccan design. From the moment you step into the spacious entrance hall, with its porcelain tiled floors and period details, the home’s sense of space, light and craftsmanship is instantly apparent.

On the ground floor, a series of interconnecting rooms provide seamless flow and incredible flexibility. The main living room is bright and elegant, featuring oak hardwood floors, large French doors opening to the garden, and warm, calming tones that create an inviting atmosphere perfect for both relaxing evenings and social gatherings. The adjacent family room continues the home’s serene aesthetic, with more garden facing French doors and access to a dedicated home office, which enjoys a front facing outlook and is ideal for a home office.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen – a truly striking space. Crafted with bespoke solid oak cabinetry, granite worktops, natural stone flooring, a Rangmaster and exposed brickwork, it balances functionality with style. High end integrated appliances, a breakfast bar, and under cabinet lighting complete the space, while French doors lead directly to the rear patio, making this room ideal for family life and entertaining alike. A separate spice kitchen, complete with an additional gas cooker, washing machine, dryer, granite surfaces, and oak units, adds both convenience and versatility. There is also internal access to the integral garage from here, enhancing the practicality of the layout.

A generously sized ground floor bedroom overlooks the front of the property and offers a perfect space for guests or multi generational living. Nearby, a sleek wet room with a walk in shower, WC, and porcelain tiles completes the ground floor living.

Upstairs, the original staircase with ornate wrought iron balustrades leads to a spacious and airy landing, which can easily serve as an additional workspace or reading area. The principal bedroom is a haven of calm, with dual-aspect windows, a stylish porcelain-tiled en suite, and access to a stunning full-width balcony that overlooks the rear garden.

Two further rear facing double bedrooms also have access to the balcony, bringing in plenty of natural light and garden views. One benefits from its own en suite, while the other features elegant built-in wardrobes and beautifully preserved original features with Moroccan touches. A fourth bedroom, overlooking the front, provides ample space and continues the relaxed, sophisticated décor found throughout. The family bathroom is spacious and luxurious, featuring a statement roll-top slipper bath, separate walk in shower, WC, and contemporary basin, all set against sleek porcelain tiling.

The garden is a true highlight of the property. Expansive and private, with large turfed areas, mature trees, and thoughtfully designed landscaping, it offers multiple seating areas, winding paths, and charming hidden corners. From the generous patio accessed through three sets of French doors, to a picturesque bridge and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, this garden is made for entertaining and peaceful retreat alike.
