Step inside 4 The Avenue

The exclusive Stretton Hall development of large, detached homes is a popular option for those seeking the privacy, space and idyllic Leicestershire countryside location it offers – with the benefit of being within a mile of the A6, two miles of the village shop, GP surgery, post office and pubs in the village of Great Glen and the larger supermarkets and leisure options of Oadby. It is pretty much perfect!

This property on The Avenue, is a handsome, lovingly cared for and well-presented home with gas-fired central heating. It’s a particularly good choice for a large family, with space to spare even!

Covering a total of 2,286 sq ft, there are five double bedrooms - two of them en-suite and reception rooms of generous proportions. The 16x16ft kitchen is a wonderful space for food prep and informal family gatherings.

For those who work from home, there’s a ground-floor office with lots of natural light via a duo of windows, plus another study on the first floor.

A big plus is the amount of storage space, which can be quite a rarity in newer properties.

There are two large cupboards in the hallway for coats, shoes, sports kit and so on, and fitted wardrobes in all five bedrooms.

The stairway is particularly grand, with the first flight dividing to the left and right for the last few steps, and a glorious galleried landing.

Garden space is essential for children, and this home has a spacious, securely fenced garden, laid mainly to lawn and with a paved terrace running the width of the house.

We are sure we’ve whetted your appetite for this stunning property, so here are the finer details . . .

Family-sized and fabulous This handsome double-fronted red-brick house with sash-style windows makes a fine first impression. It stands back from the street with a chevron brick driveway offering copious parking space, shrubbery borders, an iron railing fence to one side and hedge to the other.

There’s an integral double garage and off-road parking space for up to four cars too.

The front door is accessed via an arched porchway and opens into a lovely entrance hall, with the carpeted stairway creating a splendid focal point. Hallways can be a let-down, but this one is totally fabulous with its light, bright vibe, hardwood flooring and doors, white banisters and galleried landing.

It’s a winner on the storage front too with two super-useful cupboards either side of the double doors into the dining room, plus an understairs cupboard too.

The double glass doors into both the living and dining rooms continue the light and airy feel and, for those who like to entertain, they could all be opened up to create a brilliant area for socialising. With French doors from both these rooms onto the rear garden terrace too, it’s a perfect party space.

The living room measures 12x18ft and has an attractive feature fireplace with oak surround and hardwood flooring. The glazed French doors are flanked by glass panels which occupy most of the garden wall and ensure this is a light and lovely room.

The dining room is another generously-sized space with with plenty of room for the largest of dining tables – perfect for those who throw dinner parties and, of course, for family meals. It is carpeted and has a large window, French doors to the garden and a door into the kitchen.

The 16ft square kitchen is a truly wonderful family space, full of natural light thanks to French doors flanked either side by windows, plus another above the sink. Sleek white fitted floor and wall-mounted units with black marble worktops, line two walls, all set off by a magnificent central island with space for four bar stools. It’s just perfect for quick schoolday breakfasts, an informal spot for coffee, or even for the children to do their homework.

Cooks will love the fabulous Rangemaster anthracite. Range cooker with extractor hood.

There’s also an integral dishwasher there and easy-clean ceramic floor tiles. There’s a door from the kitchen, and also from the hallway, into the utility room which has its own sink and space for all the laundry essentials – washing machine, tumble dryer and so on. With a door to the back garden too it’s a great place to deal with muddy children and damp dogs before they reach the rest of the house!

The downstairs layout is finished off with a super light-filled office at the front of the house and a cloakroom with WC.

Time for bed . . .

This beautiful home is a real winner upstairs too, with five double-sized bedrooms - two of them with en-suite shower rooms - and lots and lots of ultra-useful wardrobe space. Every single bedroom has its own fitted wardrobe and there’s a large storage cupboard on the delightful galleried landing too.

Parents will love the master suite, where they are cocooned with their own en-suite shower room, a fabulous walk-in mirrored dressing room and a bank of fitted wardrobes. With a trio of windows, this spacious room is a wonderfully private sanctuary.

Bedrooms two and three are spacious with double fitted wardrobes and bedroom two has an en-suite shower room too. Both of the remaining duo of bedrooms are of a good size, and each has a single fitted wardrobe.

A family bathroom complete with a shower and bath tub and a study complete the first-floor layout. The arched window of the study is an enchanting feature.

Step outside 4 The Avenue

Go outdoors Families need outdoor space, and you won’t be disappointed at No 4. It has a large and curvaceous lawn and patio terrace, both running the width of the house. With shrubbery borders and child-safe fencing on all sides, it’s a great place for the kids to play or kick a ball.

There’s space for play equipment if required while those with green fingers have scope to cultivate flowerbeds or a vegetable patch.

In the locality With its close proximity to Oadby – one of Leicester’s most highly-rated suburbs and blessed with excellent shops, supermarkets, pubs and leisure options – The Avenue, Stretton Park, can take full advantage while being that little bit removed from the town.

The top-class education options are a big draw for families, with a plethora of highly rated state and private schools.

Private schooling includes the Leicester Grammar School and Stoneygate School, both located nearby.

For relaxation and walking, the Leicestershire countryside is literally on the doorstep, plus sports centres, recreation grounds, tennis and golf clubs and a riding stables.

Road connectivity is excellent with the main A6 dual carriageway passing through Oadby, within a mile of Stretton Hall, and it’s just a few miles to Leicester and South Wigston train stations. Bus links to the city centre are good too, and Leicester airport is literally around the corner. Stretton Hall is close to Leicester’s hospitals, so is a great choice for those who work there.

For those who like an evening stroll with a purpose, the Pug and Greyhound pub is within a mile via a country lane - great food and drink is your reward!
