The Banks, Barrow Upon Soar, LE12

Stylish, beautifully finished and with a superb south-west facing garden.

From the outside, this attractive three-bedroom dormer styled semi-detached home may appear similar to others found along The Banks, but step through the front door and it quickly becomes apparent that this is something rather special.

Beautifully presented, exceptionally well maintained and finished with a real eye for detail, the property combines a versatile three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with stylish interiors, a south-west facing garden and an impressive garden room. All of this is within easy reach of the centre of Barrow upon Soar and its excellent range of village amenities.

This is one of those rare homes where very little needs to be done. Neutral decoration, oak-finished internal doors, plantation shutters and carefully chosen flooring all contribute to a smart, contemporary feel, while the flexible accommodation makes the property equally suited to couples, families or those looking for useful ground-floor bedroom space.

The entrance hall immediately sets the tone for the property, with wood-effect flooring and access to the principal ground-floor rooms.

Positioned to the rear is the stylish breakfast kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of units and integrated appliances including fridge freezer, double oven and grill, separate hob with extractor and dishwasher. Windows to both the side and rear bring plenty of natural light into the room, while a door provides direct access into the garden.

The lounge is an inviting and comfortable living space with a bay window to the front elevation and a wood-burning stove providing an attractive focal point. From here, the staircase rises to the first floor.

One of the real advantages of the property is its versatility. There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which is currently arranged as a second sitting room, demonstrating how easily the accommodation can adapt to different lifestyles.

Completing the ground floor is a beautifully presented bathroom with a shower positioned above the bath.

The first floor is dedicated to a particularly generous double bedroom, creating an almost private principal suite. The bedroom enjoys an elevated outlook across the rear garden and is complemented by its own walk-in shower room, with thoughtful touches including sensor lighting.

The garden is another standout feature of the home. Enjoying a south-westerly aspect, it is ideally positioned to make the most of the sunshine throughout the day and into the evening.

Immediately adjoining the house is a generous block-paved patio, providing an excellent space for outside dining and entertaining. Beyond this is a shaped lawn surrounded by established planting, mature trees and well-stocked borders, creating an attractive garden that feels both established and manageable.

A further patio can be found towards the far end of the garden, subtly separated by a low wall to create another area in which to sit and enjoy the surroundings. There is also a greenhouse and timber garden shed.

A particular highlight is the substantial timber garden room. With power and lighting, windows to the side, double doors and its own veranda, it provides a fantastic additional space away from the main house. Whether used for entertaining, relaxing, working from home or simply enjoying the garden, it adds another dimension to the property.

A gravelled driveway runs from the front, alongside the house, while an outside tap provides further practicality.

The Banks is conveniently positioned for the centre of Barrow upon Soar, allowing owners to enjoy village life without having to rely on the car for every journey. The village offers a thriving selection of independent shops, cafés, pubs and everyday amenities, together with schooling and excellent transport connections.

Barrow upon Soar railway station provides convenient links towards Leicester, Loughborough and Nottingham, while the surrounding countryside and riverside walks provide plenty of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.

For buyers looking for a home that is stylish, flexible and genuinely ready to move into, this property deserves to be viewed internally. It is only once inside and particularly once you reach the garden that you appreciate just how much it has to offer.
