5 bedroom semi-detached house

Tucked discreetly within a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Oadby, this beautifully extended five-bedroom semi-detached house unfolds across three thoughtfully arranged storeys. The home has been meticulously reimagined by its current owners, balancing elegant material choices with an acute attention to proportion and flow. The result is a space that effortlessly supports the rhythms of modern family life, while maintaining a quiet sense of sophistication.

A smart brick façade conceals an unexpectedly expansive interior. Entry is via a wide, welcoming hallway, where clean lines and soft tones set a calm, coherent palette that carries throughout. At the front of the plan lies a bay-fronted reception room, carefully designed with underfloor heating and bespoke media joinery. To the rear, the house opens dramatically into a full-width kitchen and living area, an architectural centrepiece defined by volume, light, and seamless indoor-outdoor connection.

Here, a recent extension has created an exceptional social space, fitted with granite work surfaces, a Quooker boiling tap, NEFF appliances, and a generous central island. Full-width bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, bathing the room in natural light and extending the living area into the landscape beyond. A separate utility room and cloakroom add thoughtful functionality to the ground floor.

The first floor hosts four comfortable bedrooms arranged around a light-filled landing. The principal bedroom has a sleek en suite, while the remaining rooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. A further staircase ascends to the second floor, where a considered loft conversion accommodates a fifth bedroom. Framed by a large skylight and views over the rear garden, the space is pre-plumbed for a potential en suite, offering further flexibility.

The garden is laid mainly to lawn, framed by mature planting and featuring a substantial, brick-built outbuilding. Currently used as a garden room, it lends itself equally well to use as a studio, gym or home office. To the front, a private driveway provides generous off-street parking, alongside a garage with integrated storage and utility access.

Silverton Road is ideally positioned within catchment for some of Leicester’s most highly regarded schools, including Manor High School and Beauchamp College. The independent shops and green spaces of Oadby are just moments away, as are excellent transport links to the city and beyond.

An early viewing is essential to appreciate the style and impeccable programme of refurbishment the house has to offer.
