Extended & improved detached bungalow on a generous plot in a sought after village location midway between Leicester & Mkt Harborough. Convenient for both state and private sector schools. Excellent road links. Mkt Harborough train station less than 1 Hr from London St Pancras
SUMMARY
Offered to the market with no upward chain and sitting on a generous plot with parking for several cars to the front, 16 Coverside Road, is located in an extremely popular part of the highly desirable and sought-after South East Leicestershire village of Great Glen.
Set back from the road, this deceptively spacious detached bungalow has been extended and improved to create a large family home with 3 good sized bedrooms.
------------------------
Benefiting from Gas Central Heating and uPVC double glazing, the property which would benefit from a little modernisation briefly comprises: An entrance porch, spacious entrance hall with wc off, a large extended reception room which is divided into separate living and dining areas, a spacious kitchen leading into a utility area with doors into the double garage and the rear garden, 3 good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.
THE ACCOMMODATION
Set back from the road with a large driveway, the bungalow is entered through a small porch into the spacious entrance hall with guest wc off and doors into the single level accommodation.
There are 3 well-proportioned bedrooms to the front of the property, all being large enough to accommodate double beds and having windows overlooking the front garden.
The generously sized breakfast kitchen has a range of base and wall units with a fitted oven and hob and space for a dishwasher. A large window overlooks the rear garden and a door leads into the utility area. With plumbing for a washing machine, the utility room has a door into the double garage with electric up and over door, a storage room that houses the gas central heating boiler and a door into the garden.
-----------------------
The lounge area with a feature fireplace and a window to the side has been skilfully and tastefully extended to create an impressively spacious lounge diner with an unusual corner bay window overlooking the rear garden and a separate dining area.
The family bathroom comprising toilet, sink and bath with glass screen and shower over completes the accommodation.
OUTSIDE
The front garden has a well-tended lawn with flower borders and a tarmac driveway providing parking for several cars and access to the large brick built garage.
The rear garden is a particular feature of the property being of generous proportions but laid out with ease of maintenance in mind. A large patio spans the full width of the bungalow and leads onto a shaped lawn with extremely mature and well-stocked borders providing a high degree of privacy from neighboring properties.
THE AREA
Straddling the A6 London to Leicester Road until 2003 when the A6 by-pass was built, Great Glen is a South East Leicestershire village, steeped in history, in the Harborough district of the county approx. 7 miles south of Leicester and 9 miles north of Market Harborough.
The village has grown in recent years with the addition of several new housing developments whilst still retaining the feel of a village community.
The village centre has a good selection of amenities including cafes, hairdressers, a post office and co-op store; a doctor’s surgery, library and village hall and 3 popular public houses. Schooling in both state and private sectors are well represented in the area and a number of leisure facilities can be found nearby.
---------------------
Day to day amenities including shops and supermarkets, pubs restaurants and banking facilities can be found 2 miles away in the neighbouring town of Oadby.
Great Glen remains very popular with local buyers and with commuters due in part to its proximity to Leicester city centre and improvements at Market Harborough railway station now allows travel to St. Pancras in less than 1 hr
