Willow Road, Barrow Upon Soar, LE12

Finding a family home is about having spaces that can change as family life changes, somewhere for everyone to come together, somewhere to escape to, and a garden that becomes an extension of the house when the sun comes out. This beautifully presented home in the popular Charnwood village of Barrow upon Soar does all of that particularly well.

Arranged across three floors, the property offers an impressive amount of flexible accommodation and has undergone modernisation during the last three years. A stylish refitted kitchen, refitted en-suite to the principal bedroom, new carpets and decoration have all been complemented by landscaping of the south facing rear garden (all completed in 2023).

Add driveway parking with EV charger and a single garage and this is a home that feels ready for its next family to simply move in and start enjoying.

The ground floor immediately demonstrates just how versatile this house can be.

A spacious entrance hallway has two generous storage cupboards, providing somewhere for coats, shoes, school bags and all those everyday essentials that family homes need somewhere to hide.

At the front is a generous double bedroom with a fitted double wardrobe and its own shower room that can also be accessed from the hallway. This could be ideal for a teenager wanting a little independence, visiting family or guests, or potentially for multi-generational living.

At the rear is another wonderfully flexible room with double doors opening directly onto the garden. Use it as a fourth bedroom, family room, playroom or home office depending on what life requires.

There is also a separate utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine, and additional fridge or freezer space. The wall mounted central heating boiler was replaced in 2020.

Head upstairs and the first floor is dedicated entirely to living. The large L shaped dining kitchen was replaced in 2023 and has become the natural heart of the house. There is plenty of room for family meals and entertaining, while the walk-in bay window overlooks the rear garden and brings plenty of natural light into the space.

The kitchen itself incorporates a range of integrated appliances including a fridge freezer, double oven and grill, four ring gas hob and dishwasher. There is also a useful pull out larder cupboard, with tiled flooring running throughout the kitchen and dining area.

Across the front of the house, the lounge spans the full width of the property with two windows providing plenty of natural light. Its separation from the kitchen creates a place to switch off at the end of the day, while still keeping the whole of the first floor feeling connected.

Continue to the second floor and the principal bedroom mirrors the generous proportions of the lounge below, spanning the width of the house.

A triple built-in wardrobe provides excellent storage and the bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, which was replaced in 2023.

There is a further bedroom overlooking the rear together with the family bathroom. The landing also has an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and access to the roof space, which is partly boarded for additional storage.

Outside. Gated side access leads into a professionally landscaped rear garden designed to maximise the space. Immediately behind the house is a generous patio, ideal for outside dining, barbecues and entertaining. Beyond is a lawned area before the garden steps down to a barked area. A raised pond, roses and established herbaceous borders add colour and character to the garden.

There is a low maintenance frontage, whilst accessed from Roman Close is the driveway parking and a single garage with an EV charger.

Barrow upon Soar has long been one of Charnwood's most desirable villages, particularly for buyers wanting a genuine sense of community without sacrificing everyday convenience.

From the property, there are easy walks into the heart of the village, making it possible to leave the car at home and wander into the centre for coffee, lunch or an evening out.

The village has an excellent selection of independent cafés, Freckles & The Secret Garden and shops alongside a pharmacy, restaurants, traditional public houses and a popular microbrewery, the Fox Cub. There are both primary and secondary schools within the village, adding considerably to its appeal for families.

Nearby Willow Road Park is another real bonus. Having green space and somewhere for children to play so close to home is one of those everyday conveniences that can make a significant difference to family life.

Barrow upon Soar is also particularly well connected. Its railway station provides services towards Loughborough, Leicester and beyond, while the surrounding road network makes neighbouring Charnwood villages and the wider region easily accessible.

If you are looking for a spacious family home in Barrow upon Soar with flexible accommodation, a modern kitchen, garage and parking, and that all important south facing garden, this is a home that deserves to be seen.
