3 BEDROOM DETACHED FAMILY HOME WITH A LARGE GARDEN AND GARAGE – IDEAL FOR GROWING FAMILIES, NOT TO BE MISSED.

Step inside this spacious three bedroom detached family home on Francis Avenue and you will see the potential straight away. The accommodation of approximately 1,087 sq ft (101 sq m) is arranged over two floors and comprises a spacious through living room, a separate dining room, a galley kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, the property sits on a plot of approximately 0.1 acres with a large rear garden, a garage and off-street parking, all in a popular residential location close to Fosse Park, well regarded schools and regular bus routes into Leicester city centre.

The through living room is a generous, light-filled space running from front to back, with a feature fireplace as its focal point and glazed doors at the rear opening straight onto the garden, perfect for relaxing as a family or entertaining friends in the summer months. The separate dining room offers plenty of space for a full-size dining table and is ideal for family meals and special occasions. The galley kitchen has a good range of sage green wall and base units with light worktops, tiled splashbacks and a tiled floor, together with space for a range-style cooker and space for a washing machine, and doors leading outside for easy access to the garden.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including a main bedroom with built-in wardrobes, offering flexible space for a growing family, guests or a home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath, wash basin and WC. The home is warmed by gas central heating with a programmer, room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves, and benefits from double glazing. While some buyers may wish to update in places, the home offers a superb opportunity to put your own stamp on a spacious detached house in a sought-after area.

The large rear garden is a real highlight. Mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio area directly outside the house, and enclosed by fenced boundaries, it provides a safe space for children and pets to play and ample room for summer dining, gardening or even future extension (subject to the necessary consents). A brick outbuilding sits at the far end of the garden. To the front, a brick boundary wall fronts the house, and the property also benefits from a garage and off-street parking.
