Extended Period Semi-Detached Home on a Superb Plot with Open Field Views, Extensive Parking and Large Rear Garden

A much-loved three-bedroom extended period semi-detached home, believed to date back to around 1900 and coming to the market for the first time in 33 years. Set on a superb plot with open field views to the front, extensive driveway parking for approximately 6–8 cars and a large mature rear garden with vegetable plot area, this is a home that continues to impress both inside and out. The generous rear plot may also offer scope for further extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

The accommodation begins with an entrance hallway leading into a welcoming lounge, positioned to the front of the home and featuring a focal fireplace. There is also a separate dining room, complete with a wood-burning stove, creating a characterful second reception space ideal for family dining or cosy evenings in. Both reception rooms have large front-facing windows which benefit from the open outlook to the front, and with doors leading through to the spacious kitchen/diner positioned to the rear of the home.

The kitchen/diner is a particularly generous space and offers an excellent range of cream shaker-style cabinetry, plenty of worktop space and a breakfast bar seating area. There is an integrated oven/grill, four-ring gas hob with extractor over, space for a freestanding dishwasher, fridge and freezer, with French doors and a further single door opening directly out to the rear patio and garden. With good storage, room to gather and easy access outside, this is a very practical and sociable part of the home.

Off the kitchen, there is also a utility room, useful storage cupboard and ground floor WC.

To the first floor are three bedrooms. The master bedroom and second bedroom are both generous doubles, each with extensive built-in wardrobes. Bedroom three is currently used as a study and benefits from a fitted range of office furniture and desk space, making it ideal for those who work from home. The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite, including a vanity wash hand basin with storage, a shower over the bath and a handy storage cupboard housing the combi-boiler and providing additional storage space. 

Outside, the plot is one of the real highlights. The property is set well back from the road, with a large gravelled frontage providing excellent parking for approximately 6–8 cars, while gated side access leads through to the rear garden. The rear garden is generous, secure and well screened by mature boundaries, with a patio seating area, large lawn and plenty of space for families, entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors. To the far end of the garden is a dedicated vegetable plot with established planting, a greenhouse and shed storage, making it a fantastic space for keen gardeners or those wanting to grow their own.

Botcheston offers a lovely Leicestershire village setting, surrounded by countryside while still being within reach of nearby villages, amenities and wider road links. For buyers looking for a period home with character, space, parking, gardens and open views, this is a property that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
