Description

An outstanding opportunity to acquire this beautifully presented and substantially extended detached family home, situated on the highly desirable Oval in Oadby, Leicester. Offering generous and well proportioned living space across two floors, this exceptional property seamlessly blends its original 1900s character with a striking contemporary interior, creating a truly unique and aspirational family home.

Exterior and Approach

Set back from the road and approached via a generous block-paved driveway with ample off-road parking, this imposing white-rendered detached residence commands immediate attention. The property retains its charming period features including a distinctive bay window, arched entrance and traditional tiled roof, all complemented by beautifully maintained mature grounds. A detached garage and additional outbuilding provide excellent storage and further parking provision, while established trees and hedging afford excellent privacy and seclusion throughout.

Ground Floor

Entering via the elegant arched front door, you are welcomed into a superb entrance hall that immediately showcases the quality of finish found throughout the home. Gleaming large-format polished porcelain floor tiles run underfoot, complemented by a bespoke fitted under-stair storage unit and a contemporary glass-balustrade staircase rising to the first floor. A ground floor WC is conveniently located off the hallway.

The magnificent open-plan living and dining space is undoubtedly the heart of this home. The living room is a wonderfully spacious and light-filled reception, featuring a wall-mounted television point set against a statement dark panel, with full-width glazed doors opening directly onto the rear garden and covered outdoor entertaining area, ideal for indoor-outdoor family living. The adjacent dining area comfortably accommodates a large family dining table and benefits from bespoke cage-style pendant lighting, creating a warm industrial-chic aesthetic. Both rooms flow effortlessly together, with polished porcelain tiling continuing underfoot.

A separate sitting room has been finished to an exceptional standard with a coffered ceiling with integrated LED strip lighting, a sliding barn-style door, feature striped wallpaper, a curved bay window with fitted roller blinds and bespoke built-in shelving. Currently used as a second reception and music room, this versatile space offers tremendous flexibility for a growing family.

The spectacular kitchen is a chef's dream, fitted with an extensive range of high-gloss white and wood-grain effect units with integrated LED under-cabinet lighting and premium composite worktops. Appliances include a double oven, single grill, double warming drawer and single warming drawer, along with a full-height integrated fridge and freezer. The property also benefits from a dedicated laundry chute, providing a practical and clever solution for busy family life, along with a salt water softener system installed to prevent limescale and protect the property's premium fixtures and fittings throughout. A window overlooking the rear garden completes this outstanding space. A screened porch, utility room, storage room and covered area provide excellent additional practical provision to complete the ground floor accommodation.

Attention to detail is evident throughout, from the designer white light switches and sockets to the bespoke storage solutions, reflecting the exceptional level of specification the current owners have invested in this home.

First Floor

The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms and four bath and shower rooms, all presented to an excellent standard.

The primary bedroom is a generous principal suite benefiting from its own private en suite shower room. A second double bedroom also benefits from a private en suite, making this an ideal arrangement for guests or older family members. Two further well-sized double bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, featuring dark gloss wall tiling, a contemporary vanity unit and a large glazed shower enclosure.

Garden and Outdoor Space

To the rear, the property enjoys a superb, fully enclosed and private garden laid predominantly to lawn, with a generous paved patio and covered entertaining area directly off the main living space, perfect for alfresco dining and family gatherings throughout the warmer months. Established trees and hedging to all boundaries provide excellent seclusion, while the aerial photography clearly illustrates the exceptional plot size this home affords.

Location

The Oval is widely regarded as one of Oadby's most prestigious and sought-after residential addresses, set within a well-established and highly regarded neighbourhood on the southern edge of Leicester. The immediate area is well served by an excellent selection of local amenities, independent shops, cafes and restaurants, with Oadby town centre just a short distance away.

Families are particularly well catered for, with a number of highly regarded schools within easy reach including Brockhill Primary School, Gartree High School and the outstanding Beauchamp College, one of the most sought-after sixth form colleges in the region.

For commuters, the property is ideally placed with swift and easy access to Leicester city centre, and excellent road connections via the A6 corridor providing onward links to the M1 and M69 motorways. Wigston railway station is within a short drive, and regular local bus services connect the area to Leicester and the surrounding towns with ease.

The combination of a prestigious address, outstanding schooling and excellent transport connectivity makes this a truly exceptional family home.
