Tollgate Close, Oadby, LE2

Set at the quiet end of a leafy cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Oadby, this meticulously upgraded four-bedroom detached home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a design-conscious home in a discreet and desirable setting. Completed six years ago by Messrs Bloor Homes in their sought-after “Houghton” layout, the house is still covered by four years of its NHBC warranty and is offered to the market with no upward chain and fully furnished, making it a truly move-in-ready home in a fabulous suburb. Positioned to the front of the development and enjoying uninterrupted field views to the rear, the house is defined by an exceptional attention to detail and thoughtful remodelling throughout. Upon approach, a wide driveway provides off-street parking for two vehicles, alongside a detached brick-built garage fitted with automatic electric roller doors and an EV charging point.

The internal layout has been carefully designed to balance elegant entertaining spaces with quiet areas for rest and productivity. A wide entrance hall, laid in high-quality Amtico flooring, provides access to all ground-floor rooms and immediately conveys a sense of calm, with its clean lines and soft neutral palette. To the left, the main reception room is a wonderfully light and restful space, enhanced by a large double-glazed window and finished in soothing off-grey tones. To the right of the entrance, a second reception room has been adapted as a home office, an increasingly essential addition, with space for multiple desks and seamless connectivity, suited to modern hybrid working.

Spanning the rear of the house, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is the social heart of the home. Bathed in natural light from a series of Velux skylights and wide double-glazed French doors, this dynamic space is perfect for both entertaining and day-to-day family life. The kitchen has been comprehensively upgraded to include a wide granite-topped central breakfast island, a suite of integrated appliances including a five-ring gas hob, double oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and ample soft-close cabinetry in a refined palette of off-grey, paired with a teal blue backdrop. The quality of finish is exceptional, with brushed fittings, oak-framed internal doors, modern spot lighting and elegant lines throughout. A discreetly positioned utility room provides additional storage and space for laundry appliances, while a well-appointed downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, a generous landing leads to four bedrooms, three of which are double alongside a large single bedroom. The principal suite is especially generous, with room for a king-size bed, fitted wardrobes and enjoying pleasant open views over the fields beyond, as well as a contemporary en suite bathroom with rainfall shower and high-spec designer fittings. A family bathroom, equally well-appointed in a clean three-piece suite, serves the remaining bedrooms.

Outside, the north-west rear garden has been completely redesigned and landscaped to offer a private, low-maintenance space, ideal for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining. Laid with Vuba Resin on a permeable concrete base alongside artificial grass on a permeable concrete base, the space is bordered with contemporary raised planters and enclosed with high fencing to create a secluded, serene atmosphere. Additional upgrades include a full CCTV security system, wall-mounted lighting in the garden, and high-efficiency heating systems throughout. The garage also presents scope for conversion, subject to the necessary permissions, for those wishing to create a home studio, gym, or additional work space.

This is a home that delivers on both style and substance. Presented to an impeccable standard, offered fully furnished and with no upward chain, early viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the quality and setting on offer.

“ Welcome to our beautifully presented home, purchased as a new build in 2019 with the vision of creating a long-term family residence. What initially attracted us was its prime location — positioned at the front of a well-planned development, offering a sense of space and openness rarely found in modern builds. The property is ideally situated close to excellent schools, convenient transport links, and just moments from local supermarkets and a vibrant, multicultural parade of shops, making day-to-day living both easy and enjoyable.
