Hillcrest Drive, Loughborough, LE11

A particularly well positioned family home within the highly regarded first phase of Grange Park, enjoying a generous south westerly garden, two reception rooms and a private setting that demonstrates exactly why this part of the development has remained so popular.

There is something noticeably different about Phase One of Grange Park. The homes are thoughtfully positioned with greater consideration given to space, privacy and the overall street scene, with generous plots, attractive brick boundary walls and established landscaping giving this part of the development a quality and maturity that is sometimes difficult to find on a modern estate.

This home occupies a particularly appealing position, set back from Hillcrest Drive along a private driveway. It is a home that works extremely well for family life, combining four bedrooms with two separate reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen and a south westerly rear garden.

The location adds considerably to the appeal. Grange Park provides excellent access into Loughborough and its wide range of shops, supermarkets, leisure facilities and places to eat, while families are well placed for primary and secondary schooling. There is also a town circular bus service nearby.

Perhaps less obvious until you live here is the access to the surrounding countryside. From the development there are some lovely walks leading towards the Beaumanor Estate, surrounding woodland and Old Woodhouse, allowing you to leave the house and quickly exchange suburban surroundings for footpaths and open countryside.

A spacious entrance hall immediately gives a good sense of the proportions of the house, with the staircase rising to the first floor and access to the principal ground floor rooms.

There are two separate reception rooms. The lounge enjoys a dual aspect and features a walk-in bay window together with a feature fireplace, creating a comfortable everyday family room.

To the rear, the separate dining room has double doors opening directly onto the patio and garden. It is a particularly useful space for entertaining, Sunday lunches or family occasions, with the doors allowing the room and garden to work together particularly well during the warmer months.

The breakfast kitchen provides plenty of storage and preparation space and has a bay window facing the frontage and the driveway. Integrated appliances include a fridge-freezer and dishwasher, together with a Zanussi double oven, microwave, hob and extractor fan. Buyers should note that appliances have not been tested by the agent.

An adjoining utility room provides further storage and space for laundry appliances, with a side access door, while a cloakroom/WC and useful understairs cupboard complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, a spacious landing provides access to the loft and an airing cupboard.

The principal bedroom is a light and generous room with two windows, fitted double wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room.

There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms. Two provide particularly comfortable double rooms, while the fourth offers enough space to work equally well as a younger child's bedroom, teenage room with study space, home office or guest bedroom.

A family bathroom, with a shower over the bath, completes the first-floor accommodation.

The outside space is another important part of this home. To the front, the low-maintenance block-paved driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the single garage, which has an up-and-over door and also houses the central heating boiler.

The rear garden is a real feature. Generous by modern development standards and enjoying a south-westerly aspect, it is ideally positioned to make the most of the afternoon and evening sunshine.

A large patio sits immediately outside the dining room, creating a natural extension of the living space and somewhere for summer dining, barbecues or simply sitting outside enjoying the garden.

The garden is partially walled, another of those small architectural details that helps distinguish this part of Grange Park, with established herbaceous planting adding colour and maturity. There is also an outside tap, exterior lighting and a timber garden shed.

Why We Like It

For us, the appeal of this home on Hillcrest Drive isn't simply the amount of accommodation it provides. It is the combination of a particularly good position, generous plot, south-westerly garden and the quality of the original Phase One setting.

For a family wanting the convenience of modern living but reluctant to compromise on outside space, privacy or access to the countryside, this is a home that deserves to be seen.
