Harris Drive, Houghton On The HIll, Leicester, LE7 9LW

Within a popular residential development on the outskirts of this sought-after village is this delightful and immaculately presented semi-detached family house. The impressive accommodation offers ample space for families looking for a more rural way of life, including a fabulous sitting/dining room, a smart fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, as well as off-road parking and a good-sized garden.

On approaching this lovely family house, a paved path with mature low hedges on either side guides you to the part-glazed front door, which opens into an elegant entrance hall with a wood floor. Ahead of you are the stairs to the first floor while on the right is the cloakroom, which has a low-level WC and a wall-mounted wash hand basin with a mixer tap, a tiled splashback and a fitted mirror.

As you move through the hall, on the left is the super kitchen/breakfast room with a tiled floor features a range of sleek modern wall, base and drawer units with wood work surfaces and upstands above. On one side is a one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink with a mixer tap while on the other is an integrated oven with a gas hob and extractor hood above. There is also an integrated washing machine and fridge/freezer.

The kitchen opens out into a stylish lobby, which also benefits from skylights and could be created into a lovely breakfast area, with a stone-flagged floor and storage, as well as French doors that take you into the garden. At the rear is a further double-aspect multifunctional room with double doors onto the entertaining terrace, overlooking the garden. This room could be a study, guest bedroom, an additional reception room or a cosy sun room.

At the end of the hall is the outstanding living room with a wood floor, a large picture window and French doors to the garden which allow lots of light to flood into the room. On one side there is access to the understairs cupboard.

Carpeted stairs from the hall lead to the first-floor galleried landing, which provides access to two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, the family bathroom, the airing cupboard and the loft. The principal bedroom and second bedroom have fitted wardrobes.

The elegant part-tiled family bathroom has a white suite comprising a panelled bath with a mixer tap and a fitted electric shower with a glass shower screen, a low-level WC and a wall-mounted wash hand basin with a storage cupboard below.

At the front of this beautifully maintained family home is a tarmac drive providing off-road parking for two cars, with a paved path along one side leading to the front door and along the side of the house to a wooden side access gate. The delightfully sunny rear garden, which is bordered by wood fence panels, features an expansive raised paved terrace, ideal for family gatherings and entertaining, which is protected by a slatted fence with a central gate and steps down to the manicured lawn. A path stretches down the side of the lawn to a storage shed at the bottom.
