Offered to the market for the first time in 20 years and boasting over 2000 square feet of accommodation whilst being carefully extended to cater for multi-generational living, this distinctive five bedroom detached house now presents an exciting opportunity for a discerning family looking for a substantial home that provides convenient access to both Leicester city centre and the A47.

Accommodation, in brief, comprises an entrance porch with original parquet flooring that ascends to a deceptively spacious entrance hall. To the left hand side, a well appointed front reception room with a large double glazed bay window to the side aspect, a feature gas fireplace to the centre of the room complete with marble surround and hearth making an excellent focal point whilst exposed wooden beams add a touch of character commonly found with properties with this era. To the right hand side and cleverly extended, an incredibly large second reception room provides convenient access to a downstairs fifth bedroom complete with a three piece wet room en-suite. The second reception room boasts modern laminate flooring, a feature gas fireplace with stone surround and marble hearth alongside an extensive double glazed window to the front aspect which lets an influx of natural light into the space on offer. To the far end of the property, a beautifully presented and stylishly appointed open plan fitted kitchen. With a five ring Rangemaster oven with concealed Rangemaster extractor hood, a newly fitted AEG integrated double oven alongside a well positioned island unit to the centre of the space which includes the integrated fridge and an array of storage. Following a neutral colour scheme throughout whilst modern pendant lighting and LVT flooring characterise modern day living, French double-glazed sliding doors provide both convenient access and delightful views onto the extensive wrap-around garden whilst a separate dining area is positioned to the far end of the kitchen.

A spacious split-tier landing provides access to the bedroom quarters and a three piece family bathroom. The master bedroom is positioned to the right hand side and boasts ample space for a king size bed, an extensive set of fitted wardrobes and modern spotlights with the added benefit of a modern three piece family en-suite. To the right hand side, three further bedrooms (two double) alongside a three piece family bathroom complete with jacuzzi style bathtub. There is excellent potential to further extend the existing accommodation in the use of a loft conversion to provide a sixth bedroom however this would be subject to all necessary consents and has not been explored by the current owners.

To the rear of the property, a most impressive South-facing wrap-around garden provides immense privacy from all nearby properties with mature and established trees and shrubbery as well as including an impressive bar area that benefits from water mains and seating area. A separate self-contained workshop and storage shed provide additional storage whilst homing the washing machine/dryer and separate fridge freezer. To the front of the property, excellent kerb appeal can be found in the form of a spacious driveway to accommodate at least four vehicles and a truly stunning array of established Redwood trees provide privacy from the road itself. Benefitting from gas central heating with a newly fitted Worcester combi boiler (four years old) and double glazing throughout whilst being situated on a idyllic tree-lined road, early viewing is essential to truly appreciate the spacious accommodation on offer and overall condition of this family home.

Vendor comments:

" When we first viewed the property, we were overwhelmed by the statuesque tree lined avenue that consists of giant redwood trees. Pine Tree Avenue is unique in Leicester and possibly the East Midlands in that it has such a distinctive tree species lining its route. The trees themselves provide a high amenity value and have a tremendous impact on the visual character of the street. The house has served us for over 20 years as a family home and the location is second to none. We have the lovely Humberstone park on our doorstep as well as an array of shops all within walking distance. As a family this has suited our needs due to having nearby schools/colleges again, all within walking distance. The house has served us well and has a real sense of peace and tranquility during the summer and winter months. We have spent the summer months in our outside bar and BBQ area where we have hosted numerous family gatherings over the years. The time has now come to allow another family to love and appreciate our beautiful home like we have. "
