Set on Orchard Close in sought-after Scraptoft, this substantial seven-bedroom detached home offers generous, flexible family accommodation across 2,829 sq ft. The house is configured for modern family life: a large open-plan kitchen/lounge with granite island, a dual-aspect living room with patio access, separate dining room, study and a handy utility with internal garage access. Underfloor heating on the ground and first floors and contemporary finishes add everyday comfort.
The principal suite is a clear family highlight, featuring a walk-in wardrobe and a four-piece en suite. Three further en suites plus a family bathroom spread across the first and second floors give useful privacy for extended families or guests. The second floor’s light rooms (Velux windows) offer flexible space for a home office, playroom or two extra bedrooms.
Outside, the double integral garage, electric shutters and wide driveway provide substantial parking. A well-landscaped, secure garden is accessed from three sets of patio doors and suits outdoor entertaining and family activities. Location is practical for commuters with easy A47 access and local transport links, and families will value several nearby ‘Good’ primary schools and other education options in the area.
Notable considerations: council tax is described as quite expensive. Some windows are sash-style, which can require specific maintenance. One nearby secondary school (The City of Leicester College) currently has a lower Ofsted rating; families should check preferred catchment options. Overall, this is a roomy, modern-traditional home suited to growing or multi-generational households seeking space and convenience.
