May Drive, Glenfield, Leicester, LE3

Oliver Rayns are excited to launch this three bedroom detached home in Glenfield that has been upgraded through the years to make it ideal for a ready to move into family home.

Well-presented by the current owners, you immediately get the feeling of home, with cosy carpets beneath your toes and a tiled floor in the kitchen for easy maintenance. Downstairs you have the added benefit of a converted home office, ideal for those who work from home.

Outside, the landscaped garden is a sun trap, which the decking, arbour and terrace make the most of, while at the front is ample off-road parking.

As you approach the property, a paved pathway with a hedge on one side and the wide front garden on the other invites you to the part-glazed front door. As you enter, immediately to the right is the cloakroom, which has a low-level WC and corner wash hand basin with a tiled splashback. Also leading off the hall is the well-proportioned, double-aspect living room, which is flooded with light.

At the rear is the fabulous kitchen/breakfast room which features a range of wall, base and drawer units with composite work surfaces above. Below the window is a stainless steel sink unit with a mixer tap, while integrated appliances include the oven with a gas hob and extractor hood above, a full-height fridge/freezer and a dishwasher.

A pair of glazed doors lead out into the garden and opposite is access to the utility room where you will find plumbing for the washing machine. Off to the left of the kitchen is an inner hall into the good-sized study/family room, which is also used as a cinema room, and overlooks the front of the property.

Carpeted stairs from the entrance hall guide you upstairs to the first-floor galleried landing, which is bathed in sunlight from a facing window. There is access to three bedrooms, the family bathroom, the airing cupboard and loft space. The large principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, which incorporates a low-level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin with tiled splashback, glass shelf and mirror above, and an enclosed shower cubicle with bi-fold glass door.

The family bathroom has a white suite comprising a panelled bath with a mixer tap, shower attachment and curved shower curtain rail, a low-level WC and a pedestal wash hand basin with shelf above.

A particular feature of the property is the front and rear gardens. To the front, the tarmac driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles. A hedge divides the drive from the front path and front lawn on the right. The rear garden is beautifully landscaped and is designed to enjoy family gatherings and entertaining in the sunshine. To the right of the house is a wooden storage shed on a gravel base which gives way to a full-width L-shaped paved terrace. Bordered by a low brick wall that’s topped with wood fence panels, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with shrub borders on either side and at the back is curved decking providing ample space for tables and chairs, with a central arbour.
