Whiles Lane, Birstall, Leicester, LE4 4EE

First time on the market in over 50 years, this detached Birstall property is in a prime, cul-de-sac location overlooking Watermead Park, sitting on a generous plot with excellent development potential. 

This is a rare opportunity to purchase in one of the most desirable settings in the village. The house, originally built by Jelson Homes, benefits from a large frontage with low-maintenance gardens, driveway parking for multiple cars and access to a tandem garage.

Stepping inside, the house opens with an entrance porch leading into a larger than average entrance hall, with a cloakroom including storage space and a WC. From the hallway, you access the open dining area, with a sliding door into the kitchen and folding doors to the lounge.

The lounge is a light and bright, dual-aspect room with a large feature window towards the front of the property, offering far-reaching views across Watermead Park, one of the true highlights of this home. 

Sliding patio doors open directly onto the rear garden and the room also includes a fireplace, adding a cosy focal point. 

The kitchen is well appointed with a range of wall and base units, an integrated fridge freezer, space for a dishwasher and washing machine and a useful pantry cupboard. It enjoys views over the garden and includes side access to the exterior.

On the first floor, the bathroom has been recently modernised and is stylishly tiled throughout with a bath, WC, wash basin, large chrome towel rail and airing cupboard. 

The master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a sliding door into an additional room. This space offers superb flexibility for use as an office, dressing room or nursery and has elevated views of the River Soar and walking paths. 

The second double bedroom is a generous size and offers views over the front garden and the river bank. The third bedroom is a lovely, quiet room overlooking the rear garden and school playing fields.

Outside, the rear garden is beautifully arranged with a staggered patio, lawned area, storage shed and access into the tandem garage.
