Description

This upgraded detached home features beautiful landscaped gardens, a high spec wow factor contemporary dining kitchen and occupies a secluded mature position situated along a private approach driveway shared with this and just three other neighbouring properties.
The impressive accommodation enjoys a modern feel throughout and would make a great home for the professional couple or the young and growing family seeking excellent commuter links and schools nearby. 
Enter through the hallway with handy ground floor wc and into a front facing square shaped lounge maximising every corner with a large bay window overlooking the leafy frontage centred around a quality limestone living flame effect gas fireplace.
The almost full width designer kitchen from the German Milano range has integrated appliances including a full height fridge, full height freezer, Neff slide and hide electric oven, microwave grill and warming drawer, induction hob, hidden extractor, dishwasher, recycling drawers, under sink waste disposal and corner carousel.  The flooring is quality Karndene tiling, space for a dining table and/or small sofa arrangement with bay French doors leading out into the garden ideal for summer entertaining.  Smart control lighting within the kitchen area can be linked with smart devices, work surface and plinth spotlighting.
A matching utility room leads off the kitchen with washing machine plumbing, additional sink and useful side entrance door leading from front to rear.  The kitchen also has a pedestrian door into the garage which could be useful for an additional freezer etc.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms, (three double) with number four being able to accommodate a three quarter size bed.  Bedrooms one and two have a range of full height fitted wardrobes, the master with an en-suite shower room with corner shower enclosure and mixer shower with rain style shower head, separate attachment, shaver point and chrome heated towel radiator.
The landing space offers two storage/airing cupboards with shelving and the principal family bathroom has an over bath mixer shower with glass screen, vanity style wc and wash hand basin with heated towel radiator.
To the outside, a block paved driveway frontage offering parking for approximately four to five cars, this is set amongst surrounding mature trees and hedging with a storm porch covering the main entrance door and leading to an integral door with electrically operated up and over door, light and power.  Secure gated access to the side leads around to the beautiful private and fully enclosed rear lawn garden with great care and attention being given to this by the present vendors.  There is a central Indian stone paved patio, surrounding raised sleeper flower beds, garden shed, side storage area, cold water tap and outside lights.
Good to know: The property has uPVC double glazing throughout, gas central heating powered by a Worcester combination boiler located in the garage with Hive smart dual zone central heating system.
To find the property, from M1 motorway junction 23, proceed along the A512 Ashby Road towards Shepshed continuing to the second set of traffic lights where you should turn right on to Charnwood Road.  Take the second turning left into Anson Road passing the Co Op express and heading all the way almost to the very end where Paradise Close is the last turning on the right hand side where the property is situated on the left along the second spur driveway at the very end as identified by the agent's 'For Sale' board.
