The Broadway, Oadby, Leicester, LE2

Occupying a plot of approximately 0.26 acres on one of Oadby's most prestigious and long-established roads, this substantial five-bedroom detached home offers a rare combination of scale, flexibility and setting, further enhanced by a self-contained, two-storey annexe ideally suited to multi-generational living or older children.

There's a particular kind of house that comes along rarely on The Broadway, and this is one of them. Set well back behind a mature, planted front garden, the gabled roofline and softened elevations give it real presence from the road. A sweeping driveway offers parking for several vehicles, along with a 7kW electric vehicle charging point. A part-glazed porch opens into the entrance hallway, giving an immediate sense of the home's proportions, with a ground floor WC positioned just off it. To the front of the property, a room currently used as a play room could equally serve as a snug, home gym or study, depending on how the space is needed.

The kitchen has been designed and fitted by Messrs Dewhirst, finished in shaker-style cabinetry with quartz worktops and integrated appliances throughout, a specification that reflects considerable investment and stands out as one of the home's clear highlights. From here, the dining/family room flows through into the principal lounge, the two spaces connected by a wide arch that keeps the ground floor feeling open and connected at the same time. The lounge itself is built around a fireplace and filled with natural light, continuing on into the annexe beyond, giving the ground floor a clear sense of one room leading into the next.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms open off a spacious landing. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining three bedrooms share a separate WC and a well-appointed family bathroom, fitted with a separate shower enclosure and bath, along with a wash basin.

The annexe is what truly sets this property apart. Architecturally designed and positioned to the side and rear of the house, it has its own front and rear doors and a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, creating a genuinely self-contained living space rather than an extension in name only. Accessed separately from the main house, it offers excellent flexibility for elderly relatives, adult children establishing independence, or extended guest stays, while maintaining a clear sense of privacy between the two spaces.

The rear garden extends to approximately 0.26 acres, developed over time into mature, well-stocked borders, established specimen trees and several patio areas positioned to catch the sun at different points through the day.

The property also benefits from 9 photovoltaic solar panels, installed in around 2011, generating a feed-in tariff of approximately £1,200 per year, linked to CPI, with roughly 10 years remaining on the scheme. A solar iBoost unit diverts surplus generation to provide free hot water for approximately six months of the year.

The Broadway itself is a tree-lined address of distinction, perfectly placed within easy reach of Allandale Road’s boutique shops, the amenities of Oadby Parade, and Leicester city centre. For those seeking a substantial home in a truly special location, with both immediate comfort and outstanding potential to extend, this represents a rare and exciting opportunity.

Positioned in the highly sought-after southern suburb of Oadby, just three miles from Leicester city centre, the property enjoys superb connectivity alongside excellent local amenities. Oadby offers a wide choice of shopping, supermarkets, bars and eateries, together with renowned schooling for all ages and a variety of recreational facilities.

Convenient access routes link directly into Leicester via London Road (A6), while the ring road (A563) connects to Fosse Shopping Park and the M1/M69 motorways to the west. Leicester itself provides a fast and regular rail service to London St Pancras, ensuring the location is as practical as it is desirable.
