## Description

This large family home boasts more living space than your average semi detached property. Set back from the road and accommodating several vehicles, the driveway and front garden lead to the generous garage. From the welcoming entrance hall you discover the ground floor shower room and a lounge diner that stretches from front to back providing great amounts of natural light throughout the day. The refitted kitchen diner is also of a good size and steps out into the expanse that is the private rear garden, with access to the garage to the side. The first floor makes great use of the impressive footprint of this excellent family home. Four generous bedrooms share the landing with a generous bathroom.

Leagrave has everything you could wish for in a commuter friendly location; great shops, great schools and a wide of activities and facilities within walking distance. The M1 and local train station make it easy to get in and out of London.
