Harrowgate Drive, Birstall, Leicester, LE4 3GP

A LOVELY FAMILY HOME IN ONE OF BIRSTALL’S MOST POPULAR LOCATIONS
Positioned within the highly regarded ‘Gates’ area of Birstall, this very well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home offers the combination so many buyers are searching for: a popular village location, good living space, a lovely garden, off-road parking and a particularly generous garage.

Occupying a corner plot, the property has an attractive position and offers a practical layout that works particularly well for a young family, couple or buyer looking to settle into one of north Leicestershire’s most established and convenient villages.

STEP INSIDE
The accommodation begins with an entrance porch opening into the main hallway, where stairs rise to the first floor.

From here, you step into the living room, a comfortable and well-proportioned reception space with a window overlooking the front of the property and plenty of room for everyday family living.

Beyond the living room is the kitchen/dining room, stretching across the rear of the house and providing space to cook, dine and entertain.

The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of wall and base units with work surfaces and a sink with mixer tap, while windows overlooking the rear garden bring natural light into the room.

A door leads into a useful side porch, which has access to both the front and rear of the property. It is a particularly practical addition to a family home, providing an alternative entrance and easy access between the house and garden.

FIRST FLOOR
Upstairs, the landing provides access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom, together with access to the loft. We are advised by the current owner that the loft is boarded and also benefits from a Velux window, providing useful additional storage.

The primary bedroom is positioned to the front of the property and includes fitted wardrobes.

Bedroom two is another good-sized room overlooking the rear garden and also incorporates an airing cupboard, while the third bedroom sits to the front and would make an ideal child’s bedroom, nursery or home office.

Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a bath and shower over, WC and wash hand basin, with complementary tiling and a window to the rear.

OUTSIDE
The outside space is another important part of this home.

To the rear is a particularly attractive and well-maintained garden, combining a patio area with a predominantly lawned garden and established borders containing a variety of plants and shrubs.

It creates a lovely setting for sitting outside, entertaining friends and family or simply enjoying the garden during the warmer months.

Steps from the patio provide access towards the garage, while the layout of the plot also benefits from the property's corner position.

To the front, a brick-paved driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the garage.

The garage itself is considerably more generous than many you will find with a typical three-bedroom semi-detached home, measuring approximately 19'8" in length and up to 16' in width. It benefits from an up-and-over door, power, lighting and a window, making it useful not only for parking but also for storage, hobbies or workshop space.

LIVING IN BIRSTALL
Birstall remains one of the most popular villages on the northern side of Leicester, particularly with families and commuters who want the convenience of excellent transport links without giving up the amenities and community feel of village life.

The village offers a wide selection of everyday amenities including shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants, together with schooling, recreational facilities and green spaces.

For commuters, the location is particularly convenient. Leicester city centre and its mainline railway station are readily accessible, while the A46 provides excellent connections towards the M1, M69 and wider road network.

The nearby Thurmaston Shopping Centre and Leicester’s extensive retail and leisure facilities provide further options within easy reach.

THE RIVA LILY VIEW
There is a lot to like here.

The ‘Gates’ has long been a sought-after part of Birstall, and this home offers exactly the sort of practical combination that makes properties in the area so appealing.

You have three bedrooms, a comfortable living room, kitchen/diner, an attractive garden and, importantly, both off-road parking and a fantastic-sized garage.

Add the corner plot and the convenience of Birstall into the mix and you have a very appealing family home that we think deserves to be viewed.
