Description

A substantial and well loved detached family home, occupying a generous plot on one of Oadby's most popular and well regarded residential roads. 75 Woodfield Road represents a genuine and exciting opportunity for a discerning buyer to acquire a property full of character, space and enormous potential, in a location that continues to be one of the most sought after in the LE2 postcode.

The property sits behind a wide frontage with ample off road parking and a garage, and the plot extends to a beautifully mature and private rear garden of impressive depth, filled with established trees, planted borders, a pond feature and a generous lawn. It is the kind of garden that takes decades to create and is rarely found at this size in such a central Oadby position.

Extending to 1,545 sq ft across two floors, the accommodation is well proportioned throughout and offers a fantastic canvas for someone looking to put their own stamp on a home in a truly prime location. Crucially, the generous plot presents outstanding scope for extension subject to the necessary planning consents, and the potential to significantly increase the footprint and value of the property is immediately apparent.

Ground Floor

The ground floor is entered via a welcoming foyer that sets the tone for the generous proportions found throughout. To one side sits a beautifully light and spacious living room running the full depth of the property, featuring a leaded light window to the front and full width sliding patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden. This connection between inside and outside is a genuine highlight of the home, flooding the room with natural light and creating a wonderful sense of space and flow.

The kitchen provides excellent space for cooking and day to day family life, while the dining room is generous and versatile. A ground floor bathroom and convenient WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

First Floor

The first floor offers four well proportioned bedrooms served by a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a calm and comfortable retreat, benefiting from lovely leaded light windows that frame beautiful views over the blossom trees to the front of the property. Three further bedrooms, all of a practical and usable size, complete the first floor.

Outside

To the front, a wide private driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles alongside a garage. The rear garden is a true feature of this home. Mature, established and wonderfully private, it offers a stone paved terrace immediately off the living room, a sizeable and well kept lawn, a pond, a timber shed and an abundance of established planting and trees that create a real sense of seclusion. The scale and depth of this plot is outstanding for the road and provides significant opportunity for future development, whether that be a rear extension, a garden room or a larger scale project, all subject to planning.

Location

Woodfield Road is a popular and well regarded tree lined road in Oadby, quiet and leafy in character and highly regarded by families and professionals alike. It is conveniently placed for everything that makes Oadby such a consistently sought after place to live.

The property is ideally situated for Oadby's highly regarded schools and benefits from nearby bus links into Leicester city centre. A wide range of amenities are available along The Parade in Oadby town centre, including supermarkets and a great selection of shops, cafes and restaurants. Leisure and recreational facilities including Leicester Racecourse, the University of Leicester Botanic Gardens, Parklands Leisure Centre and Glen Gorse Golf Club are all close by.

For families, the schooling provision in this area is exceptional. Leicester Grammar School, Leicester High School for Girls, Stoneygate School and Beauchamp College are all within easy reach, alongside Gartree High School and Manor High School, both located within Oadby itself. The area has long been regarded as one of Leicestershire's premier family destinations precisely because of the quality and range of schooling on offer.

For the commuter, Oadby lies astride the A6 which links Leicester to Market Harborough, both of which have mainline rail services to London St Pancras International. Leicester city centre is just a few miles away with regular and frequent bus services running along the main routes into town. The fashionable independent shops, cafes and restaurants of Allandale Road and Francis Street in nearby Stoneygate are also within easy reach, providing a more boutique everyday experience.

The University of Leicester Botanic Garden, one of the finest green spaces in the East Midlands, sits within easy reach and provides 16 acres of beautifully maintained grounds to explore throughout the year.

This is a home with genuine bones, a wonderful plot and a location that speaks for itself. Whether a buyer chooses to move in and enjoy it as it stands, extend into the generous garden, or undertake a more ambitious transformation, the opportunity here is clear. Properties with plots of this depth and quality on a road of this calibre very rarely come to the open market.
