Heddington Way, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE2

This charming three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies an attractive and private plot within a sought after residential area. Offered with no upward chain the property was the former show home for the development when it was built and has only had two previous owners since. Although some updating may be required the accommodation has a wonderful flow and is well suited to modern family life. The plot also offers plenty of scope for significant extension both to the side and rear if desired and subject to local planning. The home is well placed for a plethora of local amenities with a range of shops and a pub/restaurant within walking distance. A range of supermarkets, shops and services are only a short drive or bus ride away. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city of Leicester and for those that work from home the property and garden provide options for buyers to create suitable office or study space.

Access to the home is via a large porch, a feature that was added by the owners several years ago. The porch is ideal to drop off the weekly shop in poor weather and helps keep the home warmer in winter. From the porch you enter a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor landing and doors that open to the lounge and kitchen diner.

The lounge is spacious with ample room not only for sofas/armchairs but also for freestanding storage and display furniture. The is a large window to the front elevation which lets in plenty of natural light. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace that is set onto a central chimney breast.

The kitchen diner has impressive dimensions and is a dual aspect room with windows to both side and rear elevations. More light enters from a glazed door that leads into a sun room. The kitchen has a range of base and wall-mounted storage and display units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half bowl stainless-steel sink and drainer. There is space for a freestanding cooker and under counter space for a fridge, freezer as well as plumbing for a washing machine. The dining area has ample space for a large table and chairs, ideal for entertaining family and friends. An under stairs pantry cupboard provides further storage space.

The sun room has a window overlooking the garden and a glazed door that gives access to the rear. This room could be replaced either by an extension or conservatory if preferred.

To the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and a further well-proportioned single bedroom. Either of the double bedroom could be utilised as the main bedroom with both benefitting from fitted wardrobes, drawers and overhead storage. Bedroom One enjoys views over the garden whilst Bedroom Two is situated toward the front of the home. Although, the third bedroom is arguably considered a generous single, it is large enough to accommodate a double bed if required. It also offers the versatility to be used as an office or study if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

These bedrooms are serviced by a shower room, that, unlike many of the neighbouring homes is on the first floor. Although, many of the neighbouring homes have three bedrooms, many of them of them have a bathroom on the ground floor. Most buyers will appreciate the preferred configuration of a bathroom on the same floor as the bedrooms. The shower room comprises a three-piece suite including a corner shower cubicle, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

The home has a pleasing kerb appeal with a lawned front garden with steps up to the porch. Adjacent to the front garden is a hard standing driveway and covered car port giving ample off-road parking. Beyond the car port is a detached garage, that if not used for parking provides useful additional storage, workshop and utility space.

At the rear is an attractive and private garden. A lawn is surrounded by well-stocked planted borders that offer colour, structure and seclusion to the garden. A paved patio seating area is an ideal spot to relax and enjoy a drink in the warmer months.

This is a delightful and well-maintained family home and with a little modernisation could be a real gem. Internal viewing is advised to truly appreciate the space it offers and the future potential it holds.
