38
Leicester Road
An outstanding and exquisite modern home with seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, a heated indoor swimming pool and a beautifully landscaped rear garden. This home has been fully refurbished during the time that the vendors have been there and the job they have done is simply stunning. The flow of the open plan layout makes the property perfect for large families and entertaining.
Combining location with lifestyle number 38 is a well designed family home offering a host of original features. With period crown moldings and covings to the grand high ceilings; five beautiful fireplaces (as well as two further hidden fireplaces which could be restored) and ornamental skirting board; this open plan, light and spacious property on Leicester Road is just Âź of a mile from Hinckley town center.
“We have had a beautiful handcrafted staircase designed for the hallway,� says the owner. The grand feature is unique to the property and along with the period parquet floors and chandeliers, create a wonderful first impression, immediately informing guests that this house is something a little bit special.
Ground Floor On the ground floor there is a formal living room with a beautiful staircase giving the room a very grand feeling, a fully fitted breakfast kitchen which opens through to the second reception room, the owners use this room as a family room, conservatory, indoor swimming pool and to the rear of the swimming pool there is a self-contained annex with fitted kitchen units, shower room and a main room. There is also a formal dining room and a downstairs WC.
Not only does the property have a full security system with CCTV, it has also been economically balanced to ensure it is fully efficient in its fuel and heating consumption.
The property has been largely restored with several air conditioning units and a refitted Smallbone kitchen with granite counter tops and top of the range Miele appliances. With modern conveniences such as a boiling water tap, soft close draws, indoor BBQ and a huge Sub Zero freezer and separate fridge, the kitchen of number 38 is both stylish and functional. Being relatively central it is the heart of the property, “from the Kitchen Island you can see into the living room and dining room and there are French doors out into the garden,” describes the owner. “It’s a great property for kids because it is so open plan you can have your own space but still know what’s going on in the rest of the house. Everyone is together. The children love it because it is so large, and we love it because it is still manageable, it’s the perfect compromise.”
First Floor The first floor has five / six bedrooms. At the moment the vendors have the house set as a five bedroom, they have got the master bedroom and then what would be the fifth bedroom is being used as a dressing room but is very easily turned back into a bedroom. The master bedroom also has a fantastic ensuite with a Jacuzzi bath and shower cubicle. Bedroom two also has an ensuite and there is a main bedroom. The loft has fantastic potential to develop and the access on the landing has ample space to create a staircase.
Offering a combination of contemporary & traditional accommodation. The upstairs of the property has a high pile carpet, which adds to the feeling of luxury. The master retreat has a large dressing room and en-suite with a double sink and large bathtub. “Each of the bedrooms are easily large enough to fit a king sized bed,” describes the owner, “The guest room has an en-suite and overlooks the gardens and we also have an extra bedroom which we currently use as an office.” The family bathroom has its original fixtures including a claw-footed bathtub. Should additional accommodation be required there is also a spacious floor boarded loft with high ceilings and a window, as well as an adjoining granny annex with its own separate entrance. “The annex would be ideal for someone with elderly relatives, teenagers or even to use as a letting opportunity as it can be made completely independent of the rest of the house.”
In the summer time the large conservatory allows the family to enjoy views over the beautiful garden, gazebo, tree house and well-established Koi pond. “90% of the trees in the garden are evergreen so we have the benefit of a lush green garden all year round. There is enough space for the children to play sports and for us to tend to our garden. The grounds are secured, we have two pet dogs who love the garden and the owners before us had a pot bellied pig! You could easily keep chickens here if you wanted to” There is also a wonderful marbelite floored swimming pool and hot tub with doors to the garden. “The house and garden have such a great flow between them,” describes the owner, “so it is a great property for entertaining. We have a large patio area and have enjoyed hosting gatherings in the garden here.”
Rear & Side Gardens The property is set back off the road allowing space for several vehicles and to the rear there is a beautiful landscaped garden. There is a patio area that the owners use for barbeques in the summer which wraps around the rear of the house.There is also a summer house with a fantastic water feature to the front.
Location. Hinckley is right in between Leicester and Birmingham and is North of Coventry so a fantastic location. There is quick and easy access to the A5 and M69 and the M6 which connects to the M42 and M1 making it the perfect property for anyone that travels or needs access to the cities of Leicester, Coventry or Birmingham.

Being but a quarter of a mile from the town center, Number 38 is ideally located. Hinckley is currently undergoing a 7400m2 renovation, which is to include a multi screen cinema, schools, parks and a leisure center. “The property is in an ideal location within walking distance of the local supermarket, railway station, bus stops and schooling for ages. Despite being near to the road the property is always quiet both inside and out, largely due to the very low levels of traffic. We have a half circle driveway with parking adequate for six cars. The current rejuvenation of the town is quite exciting as it will bring with it improved roads and cycle ways. The project, which includes the Fulcrum shopping area is due to be finished by early 2016.�

“The property is jewel, it is far bigger than it looks from the outside, yet it still has such a cosy family vibe.
