Burton Lazars remains an exceptionally popular enclave, known for its tranquil village charm while remaining just minutes from Melton Mowbray’s market town amenities, schools, and mainline rail links.

Description - Occupying a prominent position within the highly regarded village of Burton Lazars, this substantial detached bungalow is offered to the market with no upward chain and vacant possession. Presenting an exciting blank canvas, the property has been well cared for over the years and now provides the incoming buyer with a wonderful opportunity to cosmetically update, remodel, or modernise to create their ideal village home.
The accommodation opens into a welcoming central hallway leading to a generous dual-aspect living room featuring an exposed stone fireplace and sliding patio doors framing pleasant views over the rear. A separate dining room offers flexible usage and could easily serve as a third bedroom or dedicated home study. The fitted kitchen includes a breakfast bar, integrated cooking appliances, and a handy serving hatch through to the dining area, complemented by an adjoining side lobby, separate utility room, boiler room, and guest cloakroom/WC. The sleeping quarters are set along the rear elevation, comprising two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one with extensive fitted wardrobes, both enjoying countryside aspects across open fields beyond the garden wall. Serving the bedrooms is a spacious four-piece family bathroom fitted with a bath, separate shower cubicle, wash hand basin, and WC.
