Lime Grove, Blaby, Leicester, LE8 4GS

If you’re looking for a home where space really is the defining feature, this substantial five-bedroom semi-detached house in a quiet Blaby cul-de-sac deserves a very close look. This is a seriously sizeable property, offering five bedrooms, multiple reception spaces, a large kitchen breakfast room, master en-suite, integral garage, extensive parking and a beautiful private walled garden.

A significant amount of improvement has already been carried out throughout the house, with the lounge and the majority of the bedrooms having been renovated, while there remains scope for the next owner to complete some of the remaining areas and put their own stamp on the property.

A front double-glazed door opens into the generous hallway, with a radiator, staircase rising to the first floor and doors leading into both the lounge and dining room. A further landscape double-glazed window positioned midway up the staircase brings additional natural light into the hallway.

The lounge has been completely renovated and provides an inviting principal reception room with a front double-glazed window and rear double-glazed French doors opening towards the garden.

There is a radiator and an electric stove-style fire set within a feature fireplace with surround and mantel, creating a natural focal point to the room. The French doors also give the room a lovely connection with the outside space.

Positioned between the hallway and kitchen, this is a really useful additional reception room with a rear double-glazed window and radiator.

Currently described as the dining room, the flexibility here is one of the property’s strengths. It would make an excellent formal dining room, snug, family room, playroom or simply a further reception space immediately off the kitchen.

This is a big kitchen and one of the key spaces within the house.

There are two rear double-glazed windows and side double-glazed French doors, allowing plenty of natural light into this substantial room. The kitchen itself is fitted with a good range of wall and base units, with tiled walls and tiled flooring, an electric double oven, five-ring gas hob and space for a fridge freezer.

There is plumbing for a dishwasher, a radiator and, importantly, plenty of room for family life, with a central island and breakfast bar providing a sociable heart to the space.

The side French doors also provide direct access towards the garden.

Accessed from the kitchen is a particularly versatile utility and cloakroom area with a front double-glazed window.

Currently providing plumbing for a washing machine alongside a shower area, wash hand basin, WC, radiator and extractor fan, the room also benefits from a large storage area.

This part of the property has not been included within the recent renovation work, meaning it offers considerable flexibility for the new owner. It could be retained as a useful utility/shower room or redesigned to suit individual requirements.

The first-floor landing provides access to all five bedrooms and the family bathroom, together with loft access.

The sheer number of bedrooms makes this an unusually substantial family home, with the flexibility to accommodate children, guests, home working, hobbies or dressing space depending on individual needs.

The master bedroom is a very large double bedroom, with two double-glazed windows providing excellent natural light and a radiator.

It also benefits from its own private en-suite shower room.

A separate en-suite room serving the master bedroom, with a rear double-glazed window, walk-in shower cubicle, wash hand basin with vanity unit, WC, chrome towel rail, tiled flooring and extractor fan.

Currently used as a dressing room, this is nevertheless a useful bedroom-sized space, with a rear double-glazed window and radiator.

It would work particularly well as a small double bedroom, very large three-quarter bedroom, dressing room, nursery, home office or hobby room depending on the needs of the next owner.

Another generous double bedroom with a front double-glazed window, radiator and useful overhead cupboard and storage.

A further double bedroom with rear double-glazed window and radiator.

The fifth bedroom is another double room, with a front double-glazed window and radiator.

The majority of the bedrooms have already been renovated, leaving only the current dressing room and one other bedroom requiring the remaining finishing touches.

The family bathroom has a rear double-glazed window and is fitted with a bath with shower over and shower screen, wash hand basin, WC and chrome towel rail.

The walls and floor are tiled, with an extractor fan completing the room.

The integral garage is accessed from the front via an up-and-over door and benefits from power and lighting. It also houses the central heating boiler and has its own wash hand basin.

Importantly, the garage sits directly behind the kitchen, offering an interesting opportunity for buyers who want to explore creating even more substantial ground-floor living accommodation. Subject to the necessary plans, permissions and building requirements, it could potentially be incorporated into the house to create a truly enormous additional living space.

To the rear is one of the property’s standout features: a beautiful enclosed brick-walled garden offering an excellent degree of privacy.

There is a decking/seating area immediately outside the house, together with an outside tap and lighting, while side access provides a convenient route between the garden and the front of the property.

Beyond the seating area, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with established shrubs and planted borders, all enclosed by the surrounding brick walls. It is a lovely private space with plenty of room for children to play, entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the garden without feeling overlooked.

To the front is a low-maintenance garden with a substantial driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, leading through to the integral garage.
