PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Back on the Market:

A substantial and comprehensively refurbished six-bedroom detached family home extending to approximately 2,300 sq ft, occupying a generous corner plot in a convenient Oadby cul-de-sac.

One of the property’s greatest attractions is its position within one of Leicestershire’s strongest state-school areas. Childcare from baby age through to preschool is available at the Brocks Hill site, followed by a remarkably compact and walkable educational pathway through Brocks Hill Primary School, Gartree High School and Beauchamp College. The schools sit only a few hundred metres apart, creating an unusually convenient and connected setting for families from the early years through to sixth form.

This concentration of highly regarded schools also helps create a strong local family and parental community. Younger children can readily be accompanied by parents or grandparents, while as they grow, children can gain increasing independence and walk between home, school and local activities without families having to rely on car journeys for every stage of the school day.

The house itself is unusually adaptable and particularly well suited to growing and multi-generational families. Grandparents or long-stay guests can enjoy greater privacy, older children and teenagers can have more independent space, while the additional accommodation also lends itself naturally to home working, a substantial office, studio, gym or other family leisure uses.

Together, the location and layout create a home capable of adapting through many stages of family life rather than simply meeting today’s needs.

The house has been comprehensively upgraded throughout, including improvements to insulation, electrics, plumbing, heating and energy efficiency, and is ready for immediate occupation with an EPC C rating.

FLEXIBLE FAMILY ACCOMMODATION

A particular strength of the house is its adaptable layout.

There is a spacious ground-floor sixth bedroom with its own generous en-suite wet room, together with a naturally separated two-bedroom upper wing in which both bedrooms have private en-suite facilities.

These areas provide excellent options for extended family, older children, guests, home offices, study rooms or other lifestyle uses.

GROUND-FLOOR LIVING ACCOMMODATION

An inviting entrance porch opens into the main hallway, with useful built-in coat storage and a contemporary cloakroom.

Decorative sliding doors lead into the spacious bay-fronted lounge, a bright and comfortable principal living room overlooking the front garden.

The contemporary kitchen overlooks the rear garden and is arranged as two practical working zones, together with an integral storage larder.

The principal kitchen includes an upright oven and microwave, fridge-freezer housing, five-ring gas hob, generous drawer storage, dishwasher space and integrated wine cooler.

An adjoining preparation area provides a second full sink, further appliance and storage space, adding valuable flexibility when cooking for a larger household or entertaining.

A separate dining room offers generous space for family meals and more formal entertaining, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing excellent natural light.

To the rear, French doors connect the main living accommodation with the glass garden room and the porcelain-tiled terrace beyond.

Together, the lounge, dining room, kitchen and garden room provide a combination of connected and clearly defined spaces well suited to busy family life.

GROUND-FLOOR BEDROOM / FLEXIBLE SUITE

A particularly useful feature is the spacious ground-floor sixth bedroom, which benefits from its own generous en-suite wet room.

The wet room has been thoughtfully designed with accessibility in mind, including a wide doorway, level-entry shower area and good natural light.

Together, the bedroom and wet room provide an excellent option for older relatives, guests or anyone who would benefit from convenient ground-floor accommodation, while the room can equally be used as a substantial home office, study, studio or gym.

FIRST FLOOR

The first floor provides five bedrooms, three of which have private en-suite facilities, together with a separate family bathroom.

The principal bedroom overlooks the cul-de-sac and incorporates fitted wardrobes together with its own en-suite shower room.

A further generous double/twin bedroom and an additional double bedroom are served by the attractively tiled family bathroom with T-shaped shower bath.

NATURALLY SEPARATED UPPER FAMILY WING

To the opposite side of the landing is a naturally separated two-bedroom wing, with both bedrooms benefiting from private en-suite facilities.

The larger room is particularly substantial, with space for sleeping, seating, dressing or home-working areas, while the adjoining double bedroom overlooks the rear garden.

The arrangement is particularly useful for older children, guests or extended family while remaining fully connected to the main house.

GARDEN AND GROUNDS

The generous corner plot provides a mature landscaped rear garden arranged across two levels, with lawn, established trees and planting, a paved area suitable for play or barbecues and an upgraded porcelain-tiled terrace adjoining the garden room.

The terrace provides an attractive setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while gated access runs to both sides of the property.

To the front is a broad driveway providing parking for several vehicles, together with a remote-control L-shaped garage with dual roller-door access and useful storage or workshop potential.

OADBY LOCATION

Oadby is particularly sought after by families for its established schooling, amenities and convenient access to Leicester.

The University of Leicester, Leicester Royal Infirmary, Glenfield Hospital and Leicester city centre are readily accessible, making the location particularly convenient for professional families working across the city.

Everyday amenities are close at hand, including Parklands Leisure Centre, major supermarkets and the shops, restaurants and services of central Oadby.

Market Harborough is approximately 12 miles to the south and provides further shopping and leisure facilities together with direct rail services to London St Pancras.

SUMMARY

A substantial and move-in-ready six-bedroom family home offering approximately 2,300 sq ft of highly adaptable accommodation, four en-suite bedrooms, a flexible ground-floor suite, a naturally separated upper family wing, generous living spaces and a mature corner plot.

Its real strength lies in the combination of space, location and long-term flexibility. The compact, walkable school pathway from early years through to sixth form, together with the adaptable layout, makes the house particularly well suited to growing families, grandparents, teenagers, long-stay guests, home working and changing needs over time.
