Uppingham Road, Thurnby, LE7

*RARE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY IN A PRIME LOCATION*

The Oadby Estates Residence Collection are proud to present to the market this elegant and spacious Edwardian family home, located in the sought-after village of Thurnby - LE7. Tucked away behind mature yew trees and established shrubbery, this stunning property enjoys a high degree of privacy and sits within beautifully maintained gardens. This property has the potential to develop further with an additional dwelling or an extension to the current property.


In brief, the property comprises of a welcoming porch, a grand entrance hallway with oak flooring dining room, lounge featuring a stone fireplace and a separate sitting room with patio doors opening onto the rear garden. The spacious dining kitchen offers an ideal space for family living and entertaining, complemented by a study/ground floor bedroom, utility room, ground floor WC and a separate shower room.

To the first floor, the galleried landing provides lovely views over the gardens and leads to three generously sized double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes. There is also a family bathroom and an additional separate WC with a vanity unit. The second floor offers a further double bedroom with a dressing area and en-suite shower room.

The property is approached via a generous driveway that runs through an expansive front garden, leading to a detached double garage complete with a stable and additional outbuilding.
To the rear of the property boasts a beautifully landscaped and mature garden which is not overlooked, offering a peaceful and private outdoor space ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The rear section of the garden presents a valuable opportunity for further development, offering ample space that is well-suited for the construction of an additional dwelling, such as a guest house or self-contained annex. Alternatively, it could accommodate a spacious outhouse, studio or home office. This would be subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions from the local authority, but the generous proportions add significant potential for development.

Situated approximately 5 miles from Leicester City Centre, this property enjoys the perfect balance of countryside charm and urban accessibility. Occupying a desirable semi-rural position with open field views, the home offers a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently located. Excellent transport links, including easy access to the A47, make it ideal for commuters and families seeking a tranquil lifestyle without compromising on access to city amenities.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a charming period home that perfectly balances character and modern comfort. Early viewing is highly recommended.
