Superbly located with easy access to the A50 and junction 22 of the M1, both providing links to Leicester, Nottingham, East Midlands airport and the national rail network.

You approach the property over a long private shared driveway, shared with just four other bungalows nearby. The property sits back in an elevated position behind a long lawned fore garden with driveway to the side providing plenty of parking alongside access to a detached double garage (light and power).

Leading off the lounge is the more formal and beautifully proportioned drawing room which has dual aspect windows, high ceilings with cornice detailing, Adam style fireplace at the focal point and picture patio doors which open out onto a raised balcony/terrace.

The sizeable breakfast kitchen is perfect for family mealtimes having more than enough room for a farmhouse style breakfast table. Cabinets wraparound three sides of the room providing plentiful storage and roll top worksurfaces have inset sink, ceramic hob with extractor above, alongside eye level double oven and integral fridge. There is space for a dishwasher and a wide uPVC double glazed picture window overlooks the front elevation.

Leading off the kitchen is a practical and useful utility room with further appliance spaces, having space for washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge freezer and there is a wall mounted gas fired central heating boiler.

To the right of the utility room is a useful home office/playroom which has front facing uPVC double glazed window.

On the opposite of the utility is a rear hallway leading to outside and garden beyond and there is a useful store cupboard and a second guest cloakroom, ideal as a gardeners WC.

There are three excellent sized bedrooms on offer, all of which benefit from fitted wardrobes and all of which have lovely views to the rear across the gardens. The master suite is an excellent size bedroom and has a range of wardrobes running along one wall with hanging rail, and also the benefit of its own en-suite shower room.

Lastly is the family bathroom which is a well proportioned room, continuing with the theme of the property, it has full height tiling to the walls, panelled bath with mixer tap, vanity unit with inset wash hand basin, WC and archway to tiled walk in shower area.

Returning outside to the rear of the property you will find there are long lawned gardens which enjoy a great degree of privacy from the rear.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on April 20, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 20, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
