Tucked at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac in Great Glen, this four-bedroom detached house offers practical family living with thoughtful upgrades. The ground floor centres on a large L-shaped living kitchen with bi-fold doors and underfloor heating, complemented by an elegant sitting room with a bay window and log burner. South-westerly wraparound gardens and a substantial paved driveway with a double garage deliver outdoor space and excellent parking.
Sustainability features are strong: 23 solar panels, a 15kWh battery system, a 9.5kWh inverter and an EV charging point reduce running costs and raise long-term appeal. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and built-in wardrobes; three further bedrooms serve a family bathroom. Planning permission is already granted to extend above the garage, offering clear scope to increase living space and value.
Buyers should note practical considerations: council tax is in Band F, and the property sits in an area with a medium flood risk — appropriate insurance may be needed. The house was built in the early 1990s and, while well-presented, may benefit from cosmetic updating in places if a more contemporary finish is preferred. EPC rating is C.
This house will suit families seeking good schools nearby, generous outside space and low running costs from renewable kit, while also appealing to purchasers wanting straightforward extension potential. The location gives village amenities, fast broadband and easy road links to Leicester and Market Harborough.
