Charles Drive, Anstey, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE7

This Jelson built three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous plot within a sought after residential area. The home is offered with no upward chain and provides the opportunity for any buyer to add significant and immediate value either through modernisation, extension or a combination of both. Situated in the highly popular village of Anstey which is surrounded by the green spaces of Bradgate Park to the West and Castle Hill Country Park to the East the home is within walking distance of the village centre which offers a plethora of local amenities. There are a variety of shops including a Co-op supermarket, a number of eateries and public houses. The home is also within the catchment for the highly regarded Woolden Hill Primary School and The Martin High School. Situated just off the A46, commuters will find excellent road links toward both Leicester and Nottingham and offers easy access to the M1. For those that work from home the property provides various options to create office spaces.

Access to the property is via a small porch and on into an entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and a useful cloakroom cupboard with overhead storage. A door from the hallway opens to the lounge.

The lounge is generous and filled with plenty of natural light due to the large bay window to the front elevation. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace that is set onto the angled chimney breast so commonly found in these Jelson built semi-detached homes of the 1950s. A set of double doors from the lounge leads into the dining area.

The dining room has a set of sliding patio doors that open to the garden. The room has ample space for a table and chairs and has a further door that leads into the kitchen. Many buyers may well look to increase the size of the kitchen by knocking down the wall that separates the kitchen and dining area to create a more modern kitchen diner.

The kitchen itself contains a range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half bowl composite sink and drainer. There is an integrated gas hob with extractor over and built-in double electric oven. There is then under counter space for a freestanding fridge and freezer as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine. A window to the rear overlooks the garden and a back door provides access to the side of the home.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from the bay window to the front and does have two fitted wardrobes. A generous double room, there is also space for supplementary freestanding drawer units. The second bedroom is again a double and enjoys a range of fitted wardrobes and drawers. In addition, there is built-in airing cupboard which houses the boiler. The third bedroom is the traditional single box room and if not required as a bedroom, would make an ideal office/study space.

The bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom which comprises a three-piece suite including a bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a secure gated block paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and runs down the side of the home via a set of secure metal gates to the rear. This in turn leads to a garage, that if not used for parking offers useful extra storage and utility space.

At the rear is a well-proportioned and private garden that will require some taming but has raised patio seating area with steps down to a lawn that is flanked by a well-stocked planted border. The garden also contains a greenhouse and timber-built storage shed. The garden does provide scope to extend to both the rear and the side of the home subject to local planning and without compromising too much of the outside space available.

This is a home that has wonderful potential and will appeal to those looking to make a home their own. Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate its position within the village, the space it offers and the future potential to be unlocked.
