Coventry Road, Burbage, Leicestershire. LE10 2HP

A fabulous opportunity to purchase this beautiful historic three-bedroom detached Dormer Bungalow built in the 1930’s and set in the heart of the popular village of Burbage. This property is offered to the market with no onward chain and boasts dual access along with a detached double garage and landscaped gardens. It was once the home of the famous Flight Lieutenant Geoffrey Rice DFC, a founding pilot of the 617 (Dambuster) Squadron.

The property is set back from the road via a private resin driveway and oozes kerb appeal. It was converted from the original bungalow in 1989 by the current owners who have made improvements over the years to a very high standard.

Living Accommodation

The entrance hallway immediately offers a warm and inviting feeling with access to all downstairs rooms from this central hub. There is a beautiful spacious sitting room which is lovely and bright and features large sliding glass patio doors leading out into the colourful garden. A feature gas fire with a marble mantle and hearth creates a wonderful attractive focal point.

The kitchen boasts a very large picture window looking out onto the garden and patio areas. There is an abundance of worktop space and eye and base level units. Integrated appliances include an Indesit dishwasher, a Belling oven, a built in Panasonic microwave, and a separate fridge and freezer. There is a very useful area currently used as a breakfast room which has potential to be converted to a utility room with access to the front and rear gardens.

The dining room links from both the kitchen and hallway and a large bay window with electric blind creates a fabulous feature. There are beautiful stained glass French doors from the kitchen to the dining room along with a further window to the side of the property creating a very bright light space.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

The master bedroom has been beautifully designed and set into the eaves of the roof thus creating a character vibe. There is a lovely large window to the front of the property as well as a Dormer window flooding the room with natural light. Bedroom two is currently used as a guest bedroom and has been fitted with bespoke wardrobes on two sides with a window set into the eaves looking out onto the front garden area as in the master bedroom. The modern bathroom benefits from both a bathtub and a large shower unit, a washbasin and vanity unit and a bathroom cabinet. A Dormer window lets in lots of lovely light into this space too. Bedroom three is located at the front of the property on the ground floor and is currently used as a study and craft room with an attractive bay window and electric blinds. The property benefits from a downstairs water closet with low flush WC and a wash basin set on a small vanity unit.

Gardens and Parking

The garden is a rainbow of colour with a beautiful shade of green astro turfed sections along with lovingly planted borders with lots of flowers, shrubs and trees. There is a well-maintained hexagonal greenhouse at the bottom of the garden for nurturing seasonal fruit and vegetables and the patio areas have been designed for accessibility from both the kitchen and the sitting room, perfect for alfresco dining on those balmy summer evenings. The garden has been fitted with an irrigation system with timers for watering hanging baskets and three areas of the garden including the greenhouse.

The double garage with electric roller shutter doors and an additional driveway is situated in Victoria Road and accessed via a garden gate at the bottom of the garden. There is ample space inside the garage for storing a caravan and garden implements and there is pedestrian access from the garden too. The front Resin driveway has been carefully designed to accommodate parking for multiple cars, with an attractive red brick wall and further low maintenance green astro turf creating a very eye-catching and fresh frontage.
