Smart Close, Thorpe Astley, Leicester, LE3 3RS

The elegant property offers bright accommodation with a superb kitchen/breakfast room that’s ideal for family living, wood, carpet and tiled flooring, off road parking and a good-sized garden that provides a high level of seclusion.

Set back from the pavement and approached via a paved pathway to the front door, you enter a useful porch perfect for housing coats, boots and shoes. Immediately on your left is the downstairs cloakroom, which has a low-level WC and wash hand basin with a tiled splashback. An internal door guides you into the well-proportioned living room, which overlooks the front of the property. Stairs lead up to the first floor while double doors open into the kitchen/breakfast room.

The superb fully fitted kitchen is a relaxing family space with a breakfast bar on the right-hand side. There is a range of wall, base and drawer units with wood-effect work surfaces above and a one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink unit with a single drainer and mixer tap, while to the side is space for a large American-style fridge/freezer. On either side of the sink is space and plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a tumble dryer. Opposite is a built-in oven with a Halogen electric hob, extractor hood and part-tiled walls above. At one end of the kitchen is a part-glazed door into the side access while at the other, you step through bifold doors into the glorious new conservatory with a pitched roof and double doors out onto the terrace.

The turned stairs from the living room take you to the first-floor landing with a facing window, through which pours plenty of light. As well as access to the loft space and an airing cupboard, there are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom. The charming principal bedroom has a built-in wardrobe with twin doors while the second and third bedrooms, the latter currently being used as a home office, have wood floors.

The part-tiled family bathroom has a white suite comprising a panelled bath with an independent shower unit and a glass shower screen. There is a pedestal wash hand basin with twin taps and mirror-fronted bathroom cabinet and a low-level WC.

At the front of the property, a paved pathway with lawns on either side, which can be converted into a driveway, leads to the front. On the left there is a wooden pedestrian gate opening into a wide paved side access, which is covered by a sloping clear roof, that leads to a wooden shed and the rear garden

From the side of the property and round to the rear is a paved area and terrace which extend to the lawn, which is bordered by wood fence panels. There is a variety of mature trees, shrubs and borders while there is scope to landscape the garden further.
