Fordview Close, Great Glen, Leicester

Welcome to Fordview Close – a rare opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom detached bungalow with significant development potential. The property is in a very desirable cul-de-sac within the sought-after village of Great Glen. Offering spacious single-level living, generous gardens, and a private driveway with a single garage, this property is ideal for downsizers, families, or anyone seeking a peaceful yet well-connected home. The property could easily be further extended, and the extensive garden could provide an opportunity for the development of a further property, subject to planning consent.

As you approach the property, you are greeted by a frontage with a mature hedge, a lawned front garden, and a spacious driveway providing off-road parking for two cars, along with an integrated garage to the front of the property.

Step inside to a welcoming entrance hallway, providing access to a cloakroom and all principal rooms. The generously sized living/dining room features a large floor-to-ceiling window and two additional windows, which flood the room with natural light. It offers an inviting atmosphere for relaxing or entertaining.

The heart of the home is the extended kitchen, which features Italian floor tiles. It is fitted with a range of Magnet and Southern wall and base units in limed oak, integrated appliances, and ample worktop space. A table and chairs are currently located in the kitchen area, offering versatility in dining arrangements.

The bungalow offers two well-proportioned bedrooms. One has fitted Sharp wardrobes and bedside drawers, along with a long dressing table and three-way mirrors.

A cupboard provides extra storage and shelving space for laundry and towels, and a radiator for drying is very useful. This is located in the inner hallway, which leads to the bathroom and bedrooms.

The second double bedroom has a neat and tidy appearance, while the third single bedroom – currently used as a home office – offers flexibility as a bedroom or hobby space.

The accommodation is served by a family bathroom, complete with shower, bath, wash basin, WC, and modern tiling for a clean, stylish finish. An additional WC is located in the garage area, adding convenience to both outdoor and indoor spaces.

The generous, mature, private rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, complemented by mature trees and shrubs. A patio seating area is available, along with an additional seating area and a small pond located at the bottom of the garden.

Great Glen is excellently served by a range of shops, a pharmacy, dentist, Co-Op, hairdressers, cafes, restaurants, and pubs, all within walking distance. Great Glen also has one of the highest-rated village post offices in the region. Oadby, Leicester, Kibworth, and Market Harborough are served by a frequent bus service or are just a short drive away. There is an excellent local primary school. Leicester Grammar School is within safe walking distance, and a bus service serves Robert Smyth Academy and Welland Park Academy in Market Harborough, as well as Gartree High School and Beauchamp College in Oadby.
