Description
A home of genuine character, considerable scale and real soul. 26 Half Moon Crescent is a substantial four bedroom detached residence that immediately stands apart from the crowd, both in its striking exterior presence and in the extraordinary character of the spaces within. Sitting behind ornate iron gates with a sweeping in and out driveway providing generous and private parking, this is a home that makes a statement before you have even stepped through the front door.
Extending to 2,348 sq ft across two well proportioned floors, the accommodation is generous, flexible and full of the kind of architectural detail that simply cannot be replicated in modern construction. The exposed timber beam ceilings, the natural stone fireplace, the characterful arched openings and the warm textured wall finishes throughout give this home a personality and depth that is genuinely rare in Oadby at any price point.
The Entrance
A welcoming and well proportioned entrance hall greets you on arrival, finished with polished light stone tiling and a warm timber staircase rising with a handsome balustrade. Skylights above bring natural light flooding in and the sense of space is immediate. The quality of the detailing throughout is evident from the very first step inside.
Ground Floor
The ground floor is where the true character of this home reveals itself. The living room is a remarkable space, long, atmospheric and full of personality, with exposed dark timber beams running the full length of the ceiling, distinctive timber frame detailing to the walls and a dramatic natural stone fireplace that anchors the room with real presence. This is a room that has genuine warmth and character and it is the kind of space that people fall in love with immediately.
The dining room is equally impressive in its proportions, again featuring the same wonderful exposed beam ceiling detailing that runs throughout the ground floor. Wide sliding patio doors open directly onto the rear garden and patio, flooding the space with natural light and creating a seamless connection between inside and outside that is ideal for entertaining and everyday family life alike.
A second generous dining area connects through to the kitchen via an elegant arched opening, a beautifully considered layout that gives the ground floor an open and sociable flow while still maintaining a sense of defined spaces. The kitchen itself is substantial, fitted with solid oak cabinetry across the full run of the room, dark granite worktops, a gas hob, integrated double oven and a dishwasher, with windows looking out over the garden providing a pleasant everyday outlook. A dedicated office or study, a ground floor WC and an integral garage complete the practical ground floor offering.
The family room is a further superb reception space on the ground floor, again benefiting from the characterful beam ceiling detailing, and providing a wonderfully flexible everyday room that can serve as a snug, playroom, cinema room or additional sitting room depending on the needs of the family.
First Floor
The first floor provides four well proportioned bedrooms arranged off a central hallway. The principal bedroom is a generous and comfortable retreat with good natural light and plenty of space. Three further bedrooms, all of a practical and usable size, serve well as children's rooms, guest bedrooms or a dedicated home office. A family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation.
Outside
The ornate iron gated in and out driveway to the front provides a wonderfully private and impressive approach, with ample parking for multiple vehicles within the gated boundary. The front elevation itself, with its distinctive dark cladding, brick detailing and leaded light windows, creates a genuinely striking and memorable first impression.
The rear garden is a private and well established outdoor space, with a paved terrace sitting immediately off the dining room patio doors, a well kept lawn extending beyond and established planting and mature trees providing good screening and seclusion. A timber shed sits to one side and the overall garden is a pleasant and manageable outdoor space ideally suited to family life.
