Uppingham Road, Houghton-On-The-Hill, LE7

This beautifully maintained semi-detached house, originally built in the 1920s, has been thoughtfully extended over the years and is brimming with character. Situated in the picturesque village of Houghton on the Hill, this home offers 3/4 bedrooms and a stunning, established tree-lined garden to the rear.

Ground Floor:

The property welcomes you through a modern composite front door into a long entrance hallway, elegantly laid with oak flooring. Large windows brighten the hallway as it leads toward a useful storage cupboard and double doors opening into the spacious living room. This room exudes charm with its beamed ceiling, arched alcoves, and a pretty box bay window looking to the front aspect. Cozy evenings can be enjoyed around the gas fireplace, complete with a timber mantel.

A door from the living room leads you past a convenient downstairs WC and into the bright and inviting dining room. Featuring fully glazed French doors that open onto the garden, and windows flanking the side chimney breast and fireplace, this room is perfect for family meals or entertaining. The dining room connects seamlessly to the kitchen through a wide opening and a handy serving hatch.

The galley-style kitchen boasts fitted units with beautiful oak worktops, an electric oven, and an induction hob. There’s space for a dishwasher, and a ceramic one-and-a-half bowl sink adds a touch of practicality. A door at the rear of the kitchen opens into a utility room with further oak work surfaces and room for a washing machine, with direct access to the garden.

First Floor:

Upstairs, the home features three bedrooms. The main bedroom, located at the front, is a spacious double with two windows (fitted with secondary glazing) and built-in wardrobes. The second double bedroom, positioned to the rear, enjoys stunning views over the expansive garden.

The third bedroom is unique, with a partially lofted ceiling and a high-set window that floods the room with natural light. An archway from the third bedroom and a door from the second bedroom lead to an additional room at the rear of the home, offering flexibility as a potential fourth bedroom, study, or walk-in wardrobe.

A modern shower room with a walk-in shower, vanity handwash basin, and WC serves all bedrooms.

Outside:

The front of the property is beautifully landscaped with a large gravel driveway, bordered by mature hedges and colorful flowerbeds. A side gate provides access to the rear garden.

The rear garden is truly a gardener’s paradise. A patio seating area is perfect for outdoor dining, shaded by grape vines climbing a timber pergola. Beyond the patio, a long, well-tended lawn stretches out, lined with a variety of trees, shrubs, and plants, leading to a garden shed. A further section of lawn can be found beyond, providing even more space for outdoor enjoyment.

This home offers the perfect blend of character, modern comforts, and ample outdoor space in a charming village location.
