Ashfield Court, Ashfield Road, Stoneygate, Leicester, LE2 1LB

Offered for sale with a share of the freehold, the property is the perfect opportunity for first-time buyers to get their foot on the housing ladder, or is ideal for downsizing. Complete with off-road parking, a garage at the rear and delightful communal gardens, and recently decorated throughout to a high standard with a newly updated shower room and skimmed ceilings, the living room and the kitchen overlook the gardens to the rear while two double bedrooms look out over the front.

Set well back from the road, a paved path leads to the part-glazed front door, which opens into the entrance hall which has a lovely wood style floor. Immediately to your right is the second double bedroom which has fitted wardrobes and glazed doors opening into the lounge. This room could be repurposed as a dining room or further reception room, if required. Further down the hall is a large walk-in cupboard and adjacent is the principal bedroom.

At the rear of the property on the left-hand side is the elegant living room, also with a wood style floor and beautiful glazed doors that allow the sunlight to pour in, and opens out into the garden. A feature of the room is the charming original fireplace with a cast iron fire basket sitting on a tiled hearth with a tiled surround and mantel above.

Looking out over the rear garden is the unique kitchen which features a range of wall, base and drawer units with composite work surfaces and upstands walls above. Below the window is a single drainer white enamel sink with a mixer tap while on the wall is a traditionally-styled plate rack. Integrated appliances include a double oven with cupboards above and below, a gas hob, space for a large fridge/freezer and behind a curtained area is space for both a washing machine and dishwasher. There is also a glazed door leading out into the garden.

Sitting between the kitchen and the living room is the newly fitted shower room with a herringbone vinyl floor and fully tiled walls. On the left is a low-level WC and a pedestal wash hand basin with a mirror-fronted bathroom wall cabinet above. On the right is an independent corner shower cubicle with sliding glass doors and beside this is a heated towel rail.

At the front, a tarmac driveway on the left-hand side bordered by a well-established hedge guides you to off-street parking at the rear and the single garage in a block, which has an up-and-over door. A manicured front lawn with mature shrubs sits between the pavement and the property entrance while at the rear, which is mainly laid to lawn, is a dedicated terrace with plenty of room for a table and chairs. The communal gardens are bound by wood fence panels and established hedging, trees and shrubs.
