The Fairway, Oadby, Leicester, LE2 2HN

The Fairway is one of those roads that rarely needs introduction. Set well back from the street behind gated stone pillars, this home makes an immediate impression: a wide block-paved driveway leads to the front door, with a double garage to the right and mature planting framing both sides of the plot.

The living room is a genuinely generous space at over 20ft in length, with solid oak flooring, a feature stone fireplace and original-style glazed internal doors that allow natural light to flow between rooms. It's the kind of room that works equally well for a quiet evening in or for entertaining on a larger scale.

To the rear of the hall, a separate dining room enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden through a wide bay window. The glazed internal partition connecting these two reception rooms is a characterful period detail that adds warmth and a sense of occasion to both spaces.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been comprehensively refitted and is the practical heart of the home. Gloss-white handleless units run in a wide U-shape with dark granite worktops, under-cabinet lighting, and a hummingbird feature wall that gives the room its own personality. There's a good-sized dining table within the room and a separate utility room and WC directly off the kitchen. A further sitting room and study complete the ground floor, offering the flexibility that families increasingly look for; a home office, a playroom, or a quiet snug.

Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged off a central landing. The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned room with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite. Bedroom two is similarly sized with extensive fitted storage. Two further bedrooms, one currently set up as a twin room with original pine floorboards and wood-louvred wardrobes, round off the first floor. The family bathroom is fully tiled and includes both a bath and separate shower enclosure.

The rear garden is a real highlight; a generous, level lawn enclosed by tall established hedging on both sides, offering a rare degree of privacy for a road of this nature. A patio area sits directly off the house, with plenty of room beyond for children, entertaining, or simply enjoying the seclusion.

Planning permission was previously obtained for a rear extension, giving buyers a ready-made opportunity to significantly increase the ground-floor footprint should they wish to.
