"This attractive detached bungalow sits on a corner plot at the end of a sought after cul de sac in the popular village of Queniborough, on the outskirts of Leicester. In need of updating, this lovely property offers buyers the opportunity to create a superb family home.

The current accommodation is well proportioned with two double bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, a super lounge dining room that overlooks a large rear garden, with a garage and ample off road parking at the front.

Approached via an expansive sweeping gravel driveway, a paved pathway leads down the side of the property to a part glazed front door. As you step into the hall, the fitted kitchen with a tiled floor is to your right. There is a range of wall, floor and drawer units with composite work surfaces, upstands and part tiled walls above. Beneath the window is a single drainer stainless steel sink with a mixer tap and there is space for a freestanding cooker, washing machine and fridge freezer, while a part glazed door opens into the garden.

Off the hall is the large and bright lounge dining room with a sliding patio door opening onto the terrace and rear garden. On one side is an electric fire and there is a glazed door into an inner lobby, which leads to two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Both bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes with storage space above on one wall and picture windows that allow the light to flood the rooms.

The fully tiled bathroom has a cream coloured suite comprising a low level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin with a fitted mirror above, a mirror fronted bathroom cabinet and a panelled bath with a mixer tap and a wall mounted mirror above.

A particular feature of this delightful bungalow are the front and rear gardens. At the front of the property is a wide gravel driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles, with a block paved section that leads to the brick built garage, which has double wood doors with a large car port on the right. The left of the drive is bound by wood fence panels while on the right is a curved lawned area.

Just beyond the front door is a tall brick wall inset with a pedestrian gate that opens into the rear garden. Bordered by wood fence panels on either side and a mature hedge at the rear, there is a wrap around paved terrace that offers ample room for a table and chairs, ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. The garden, which offers a high degree of privacy and seclusion, is mainly laid to lawn with stepping stone paths, a variety of well established shrubs and trees. In one corner is a charming summerhouse and in the opposite corner is a good sized storage shed.

The property is situated in a popular cul de sac in the village of Queniborough, approximately 7 miles from the centre of Leicester. With a thriving and welcoming community, Queniborough attracts families that are looking for a rural, picturesque setting yet within easy reach of good schools, open countryside and excellent transport links.

Popular pubs nearby serve delicious food in a friendly atmosphere, such as The Horse & Groom and The Britannia Inn, while Leicester itself provides a wider choice of shopping outlets, boutiques and cafes, as well as a broad selection of eateries and shopping opportunities. For those that are active, as well as a variety of sports clubs, the local countryside offers plenty of charming walks and cycling tracks. Watermead Country Park has beautiful lakes and wildlife, while Bradgate Park, which is a bit further outside the village, draws those more interested in historical ruins and stunning landscapes.
