Summary - 5 IVATT CLOSE THURNBY LEICESTER LE7 9UT
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large four-bedroom home with double garage, big garden and solar income.
Four double bedrooms with master en-suite and built-in storage
This spacious four-bedroom detached house sits in an elevated position on the edge of Thurnby, offering generous family accommodation across two floors and a large, mature rear garden. The ground floor layout includes a sitting room with bay window and multi-fuel stove, a conservatory and sun room that extend living space into the garden, plus a well-equipped dining kitchen and utility room. Upstairs provides a sizeable master with en-suite, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom—practical storage and built-in wardrobes throughout.
Practical strengths include a wide tarmac driveway for multiple cars, an attached double garage with electric up-and-over door, and a large, private garden with shed and summerhouse—ideal for families who value outdoor space and home-grown produce. Environmental and running-cost benefits come from a 3.84 kW solar PV array installed in 2011 on a 25-year feed‑in tariff, currently generating approximately £2,500 per year and reducing electricity bills.
Local amenities and schooling are strong selling points: well-regarded primary schools in Thurnby and nearby villages, easy access to Leicester (about five miles) and pleasant Leicestershire countryside on the doorstep. Broadband is fibre at around 58 Mbps and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and family connectivity.
Notable practical considerations are presented plainly: the EPC is rated D and council tax is Band E, which may concern buyers prioritising running costs and efficiency. The property has steps up to both front and rear entrances, so accessibility is limited. Overall this is a roomy, well-located family home with good outdoor space and energy-income potential, best suited to buyers seeking a comfortable, well-proportioned house with scope to personalise and update.
