Description
A substantial and beautifully presented four bedroom detached family home, occupying a generous and private plot on one of Oadby's most sought after and well regarded residential addresses. The Yews is a quiet and exclusive close within the heart of LE2, and number 42 is one of the finest homes within it. From the attractive frontage framed by blossom trees and manicured planting to the beautifully proportioned rooms within, this is a home that impresses at every turn.
Extending to 2,485 sq ft across two floors, the accommodation is generous, versatile and thoughtfully laid out. A welcoming porch leads into a well proportioned foyer, setting the tone for the quality and care that is evident throughout the home.
Ground Floor
The living room is an immediate highlight. A vast and light filled space, it runs to an extraordinary depth and features a characterful corner brick fireplace, beautiful oak flooring, an elegant arched opening leading through to the dining area, and full width sliding patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The combination of these features creates a seamless flow between inside and outside that is genuinely rare, and the room itself is one of the finest reception spaces available in Oadby at this price point.
The dining area sits naturally within the same open plan space, defined by the elegant arched colonnade that frames the transition between the two zones. It is a wonderful everyday setting for family meals and a superb entertaining space for larger gatherings.
The kitchen is simply stunning. Beautifully extended and fitted with sleek taupe gloss cabinetry, dark granite worktops and a striking mosaic tiled splashback, it is the dramatic vaulted ceiling above that truly sets this room apart. Soaring overhead with painted timber beams and roof lights that flood the space with natural light, it is the kind of kitchen extension that stops people in their tracks. A separate laundry room and an additional room beyond, ideal as a pantry, home office or hobby room, provide excellent practical space alongside the kitchen. A ground floor WC and a separate office or reception room complete a remarkably flexible ground floor offering.
First Floor
The first floor is accessed via a well proportioned landing with a handsome timber balustrade staircase. The principal bedroom is a genuinely impressive room, spanning over 20 feet in depth, beautifully bright with a large front facing window framing lovely tree views, oak flooring and fitted wardrobes. The en suite to the principal bedroom is nothing short of spectacular. Finished entirely in large format Carrara marble effect porcelain tiles from floor to ceiling, it features a generously sized walk in rainfall shower, a wall hung vanity unit with an oversized mirror, a chrome heated towel rail and a bidet. The quality of finish in this room is exceptional and rivals bathrooms found in homes of significantly higher value.
The family bathroom is equally impressive, continuing the Carrara marble theme with the same large format tiles, a generous walk in shower with rainfall head, wall hung sanitaryware and a beautifully calm and luxurious feel throughout.
Three further bedrooms, all well proportioned and comfortable, complete the first floor accommodation. The second bedroom is a generous double, and the remaining bedrooms serve equally well as children's rooms, guest bedrooms or home office space as required.
Outside
To the front, a wide and attractive driveway provides ample off road parking for several vehicles and is framed by established planting, a manicured front lawn and beautiful blossom trees that create a wonderful first impression in season. A detached single garage sits to the side.
The rear garden is private, generous and beautifully laid out. A wide block paved terrace immediately off the living room provides a wonderful outdoor entertaining space, with steps rising to a well kept and neatly bordered lawn beyond. Established trees and planting to the boundaries create excellent privacy and seclusion, and the detached outbuilding to the rear provides useful additional storage or workshop space. The plot as a whole is genuinely
impressive for the location and gives the home a sense of space and breathing room that is increasingly hard to find within Oadby.
Location
The Yews sits in the heart of Oadby, one of Leicestershire's most consistently sought after residential areas and a postcode that families actively seek out year after year. The close itself is quiet, private and well regarded, while remaining moments from everything that makes this area so appealing.
Oadby town centre and The Parade are within easy reach, providing a great range of shops including Sainsbury's, Asda and Lidl alongside cafes, restaurants and everyday conveniences. The fashionable independent boutiques and coffee spots of Allandale Road, Francis Street and Queens Road in nearby Stoneygate are also easily accessible, offering a more boutique everyday experience.
The University of Leicester Botanic Gardens, one of the finest green spaces in the East Midlands, is moments away and provides 16 acres of beautifully maintained grounds to explore throughout the year. Leicester Racecourse, Glen Gorse Golf Club and Parklands Leisure Centre are all close by, providing outstanding leisure and recreational facilities for the whole family.
The schooling provision in this area is exceptional and is one of the principal reasons families choose LE2 above all other postcodes. 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 situated within Oadby itself.
For commuters, Leicester city centre is just a few miles away with excellent road connections via the A6 and A563 ring road. Leicester Railway Station provides direct services to London St Pancras in just over an hour. The M1 is also conveniently accessible, providing strong onward connectivity in every direction.
This is a home of genuine quality, impressive proportions and outstanding specification, in a location that speaks entirely for itself.
