Somerby Road, Thurnby, LE7 9PR
Positioned within a well-established suburban setting, this extended 1930s detached home occupies a generous plot of approximately 444m² and offers a well-balanced layout suited to a range of buyers, particularly those looking for a home that requires modernisation and can gradually update and tailor to their own taste.
Set back from the road, the property benefits from a wide frontage with driveway parking for at least two vehicles, alongside a detached single garage. The frontage itself provides additional flexibility for further parking if required, giving the home a practical and functional first impression.
The property has been extended over time, with a two-storey addition to the front dating back to the 1960s/70s, creating a useful entrance porch and ground floor WC, while also increasing the size of the third bedroom above. To the rear, a garden room extension adds further living space and provides a direct connection to the garden.
Entering through the front door, you arrive into an enclosed porch
The principal reception space is formed of a living and dining room that runs the depth of the property. Believed to have originally been two separate rooms, the space now flows openly between the two, creating a more sociable and versatile arrangement.
The living area is positioned at the front of the house, centred around a gas fireplace and enjoying a large window that allows for plenty of natural light. To the rear, the dining area provides ample space for a family dining table, making it well suited to both everyday use and entertaining. A glazed door from here leads into the garden room.
The garden room acts as a natural extension of the main living space, offering a pleasant outlook across the rear garden through large double glazed windows. This room provides flexibility in how it is used
From a longer-term perspective, this part of the property offers clear potential. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, there may be scope to replace or extend this area further, potentially linking with the garage to create annex-style accommodation or a larger open-plan living arrangement.
The kitchen breakfast room has been updated in more recent years and is fitted with a range of modern shaker-style units, complemented by integrated appliances including a fridge freezer, electric ovens and a gas hob. There is space for a breakfast table positioned in front of the window overlooking the rear garden, creating a pleasant spot for more informal meals. A side door provides access to the exterior, adding further practicality.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. Bedrooms one and two are both comfortable doubles and benefit from fitted wardrobes, while the third bedroom, enhanced by the earlier extension, provides a versatile space suitable for use as a bedroom, nursery or home office.
The bathroom has been refitted in more recent years and now comprises a double-width shower enclosure, pedestal wash basin and full-height tiling. A separate WC is accessed from the landing, maintaining a traditional yet practical layout.
Outside & Garden
The rear garden is a key feature of the property, extending to approximately 244m² and offering a good degree of privacy, thanks to established borders filled with mature trees and shrubs.
Immediately adjoining the garden room is a patio area, ideal for outdoor seating, which steps down to a further patio space
A greenhouse is positioned towards the rear, and the garden itself backs directly onto Thurnby Brook, which runs along the bottom boundary, adding a natural and attractive backdrop to the setting.
A side access door into the garage enhances practicality, particularly for storage or garden use.
