Seller insight:

It was the location of Lila House which first attracted the current owners to this spacious family home. “The house enjoys a quiet setting and feels like rural, ” they say, “whilst being just a few miles from the centre of Leicester with all the convenience of amenities and entertainments it has to offer. Situated in the highly regarded residential development of Stretton Hall, the cul de sac on which the house sits is quite set back from the main road, providing a safe, tranquil environment in which to bring up a family. The estate is within easy reach of work and schools, with convenient access to the A6.”

The house itself has been extended and reconfigured by the owners to create the ideal family home. “The sociable open plan kitchen/family room is attached to the bright and airy conservatory, ” say the owners, “enabling an easy flow between the rooms which is very conducive to entertaining and everyday life alike. Further, with its generous footprint, the house is able to accommodate a lot of people for longer visits. Between the 6 bedrooms and the study, and the games room with sofabed, the property can comfortably sleep 10 people when family or friends come to stay! There is also a walk-in shower and WC on the ground floor, perfect for elderly relatives who might wish to sleep downstairs.”

The outdoor spaces also have much to offer, from the generous parking at the front of the house, to the pretty garden at the rear. “The garden has been beautifully landscaped, ” say the owners, “with a spacious decking area connecting the conservatory and the lounge from outside. This creates the perfect venue for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining in the warmer months. The whole estate is surrounded by woodland which can be accessed for peaceful walking.
