The home is well placed for the amenities Fleckney has to offer which includes a Co-op supermarket and medical centre. There are then excellent road links to larger centres of Wigston and Market Harborough, where a plethora of supermarkets, shops and eateries can be found. There are two extensions to the property both added by the current owners. The first extension, situated behind the garage and accommodates a repositioned and refitted kitchen. The second extension served to enlarge the dining room. These are just a couple of several improvements made to the home over recent years. The home has wide ranging appeal with first time buyers, professional couples and young families all likely to give this wonderful property serious consideration.

Access to the home is via a composite front door that opens to a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor landing, a useful under stairs storage cupboard and doors that lead through to the lounge and dining room.

The lounge is a large dual aspect room with a large window to the front elevation and a set of sliding patio doors that open to the garden that fill the space with plenty of natural light. The main focal point of the room is a contemporary flame effect electric fire that is set into a feature marble fireplace. The lounge provides ample space for sofas as well as a selection of freestanding storage and display furniture.

The dining room can be accessed either from the entrance hall or via a connecting door to the lounge. Another impressive reception space it has plenty of room for a large dining table and chairs, ideal for dinner parties and family occasions. The dining room is also a further dual aspect room with windows to side and rear enjoying views over the garden.

The kitchen is finished to a high specification and includes an extensive range of soft close base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a composite sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, with extractor over, built-in eye-level electric oven and warming drawer, slimline dishwasher and washing machine. A freestanding fridge/freezer is accommodated within a pantry unit.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is the largest of three well-proportioned bedrooms and can easily take a range of freestanding wardrobes and drawers. The second bedroom enjoys views over the garden and the third bedroom is presented as a single bedroom and benefits from an over stairs storage cupboard. The wardrobes currently in the principal bedroom and bedroom two, although not fitted, will be remaining at the property and are part of the sale. The third bedroom does have the versatility to be used as an office space for anyone that works from home.

Finally, on the first floor is a refitted and fully tiled shower room comprising a large walk-in shower with fixed screen and a wash hand basin that sits on top of a stylish vanity unit. The WC is separate to the shower room and helps alleviate any busy morning queues.

To the front of the home a block paved driveway provides ample off-road parking as well as direct car access to the garage, which has light, power and an up and over main door. At the rear is a beautifully landscaped garden with a delightful, paved patio seating area which is sheltered by a pergola type structure. Shallow steps lead to a lawn that is bisected by a pathway that leads to a timber-built storage shed. The lawn is then flanked by well-stocked planted borders that contain a variety of trees, shrubs and flowering plants that provide colour and structure. The fact the garden then backs out to playing fields mean it is not overlooked and protected from any potential future development.

This really is an impressive family home and internal viewing is highly recommended.
