5 Bedroom Detached House

Having been a much-loved family home for over forty years, this extended semi-detached property offers surprisingly generous and adaptable accommodation extending to approximately 1,300 sq ft, together with a large south-facing rear garden and ample off-road parking, all within the highly regarded village of Thurnby.

Occupying a generous plot, the property has evolved over the years to create a home particularly well suited to growing families seeking additional space without compromising on outdoor living. Well maintained throughout and ready for immediate occupation, it also presents an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to update and personalise to their own taste over time.

The accommodation begins with an entrance hall leading through to a comfortable living room overlooking and opening onto the rear garden, creating an ideal space for everyday family life. A separate dining room provides room for family meals and entertaining, whilst the fitted kitchen offers an excellent range of storage and preparation space. Completing the ground floor is a versatile additional reception room, currently utilised as a playroom, although equally suited to use as a home office, hobby room, snug or occasional ground-floor bedroom.

To the first floor, the property offers flexible four/five-bedroom accommodation. Four bedrooms are independently accessed from the landing, whilst a further adjoining room provides a variety of possibilities including a dressing room, nursery, study or fifth bedroom. A family bathroom and separate shower room serve the accommodation, providing additional convenience for larger households. Further practical benefits include access to a loft space via an extended loft ladder, with the loft being partially boarded to provide useful additional storage.

A particular highlight of the property is the generous rear garden. Enjoying a desirable south-facing aspect and extending to approximately 20 metres in length, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and provides excellent space for children to play, outdoor entertaining and keen gardeners alike. The plot creates a wonderful sense of space that is increasingly difficult to find within this price bracket.

To the front, a block-paved driveway provides off-road parking for up to three vehicles. The former garage has been converted to create additional living accommodation, significantly enhancing the versatility of the home, whilst retaining the potential to be reinstated as a garage should a future owner prefer.

Charnwood Drive enjoys a convenient position within the sought-after village of Thurnby. Local amenities, including the village shop, are within comfortable walking distance, whilst well-regarded schooling, nearby countryside walks and excellent transport links to Leicester city centre and the surrounding road network further enhance the appeal of the location.

Offering an exceptional amount of accommodation, flexibility and outdoor space for the price point, this is a home that will appeal to a wide range of buyers, particularly growing families seeking their next move within a thriving village community.
