4 bedroom detached house for sale

Positioned on a quiet no-through road within the highly regarded East Leicester village of Scraptoft, this extended four-bedroom detached home offers approximately 1,350 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged accommodation. The location is particularly appealing — a peaceful, family-oriented residential setting with excellent access into Leicester city centre, while also being moments from the open countryside of East Leicestershire.

This is very much a move-in-ready home, with a practical layout and a standout open-plan living space that naturally becomes the heart of the property.

Ground Floor

The property is set back from the road with off-road parking for two vehicles on the driveway, alongside access to the garage, which could accommodate an additional vehicle if required (currently utilised for storage). The front door and windows were replaced in 2023, adding to the well-maintained appearance and overall kerb appeal.

Stepping through the front door, the entrance hall provides access to the principal ground-floor rooms. To the front of the house sits the main living room — a comfortable and inviting space, ideal for quieter evenings or separate family use. A working gas fireplace forms a focal point within the room, adding warmth and character.

Moving towards the rear, the property opens into its most impressive feature. Extended in 2015, the spacious kitchen, dining and living area creates a superb open-plan environment designed for modern family living. The space is flooded with natural light from rooflights and rear glazing, enhancing the sense of openness and connection to the garden.

The kitchen was installed as part of the extension and remains both stylish and practical. It features integrated appliances including a gas hob, electric ovens and dishwasher, along with generous work surfaces and storage. The layout flows seamlessly into the dining area, comfortably accommodating a large table — perfect for family meals and entertaining alike. There is also space for additional seating, making this a genuinely sociable hub of the home.

A separate utility room provides further practicality, keeping laundry and additional storage neatly tucked away, while a ground floor WC adds convenience. Internal access to the garage is also available from this level.

The property is UPVC double glazed throughout, and a new boiler and Hive heating controls were installed in 2021 which has since been serviced annually.

First Floor

Upstairs, the home continues to offer well-balanced accommodation with four bedrooms arranged off the central landing.

The principal bedroom is a generous double room and benefits from fitted wardrobes, providing excellent built-in storage. It also enjoys the added convenience of its own en-suite shower room which was fully modernised in 2024 to include a rainfall shower, comfort toilet and floating sink.

Bedrooms two and three are both well-proportioned doubles, ideal for children, guests or flexible working arrangements. The fourth bedroom offers versatility and would suit use as a nursery, study or dressing room depending on individual needs.

These rooms are served by a family bathroom, completing the first floor accommodation.

The loft is not currently boarded but offers potential for storage or future consideration, subject to the necessary permissions.

Outside

To the rear, the east-facing garden enjoys morning and early afternoon sunlight and is largely private. It provides a manageable and low-maintenance outdoor space — particularly appealing for those downsizing from a larger plot, while still offering enough space for seating, planting and family use. A patio area adjoins the rear of the property, creating a natural spot for outdoor dining or relaxation, with lawn and established planting adding to the sense of enclosure. To the side of the home is a large and useful storage area with a lean-to cover overhead.

Location

Scraptoft remains a popular village choice for buyers seeking a blend of convenience and community. The property falls within catchment for well-regarded local schooling and benefits from easy access to nearby amenities, road links and Leicester city centre. At the same time, countryside walks and green spaces are close at hand, offering the best of both town and village living.
