This spacious and significantly extended three bedroom detached bungalow is offered with no upward chain and occupies a generous plot within the sought after village of Thurnby. The plot would certainly offer scope for further extension subject to local planning but the accommodation already has a wonderful feeling of light and space and really only requires modernisation throughout. Conveniently located for a wide range of local amenities the home is within walking distance of the local Co-op and is only a short drive away from a range of shops and services in the surrounding suburbs.The home itself has an impressive kerb appeal with a double bay fronted facade with a central front door that opens to an entrance hall that has a useful built-in storage/cloakroom cupboard.The bungalow's main reception room and kitchen diner are situated toward the rear of the property and therefore overlooks the garden which is the preferred layout for many buyers. The lounge was created through extension and is a particularly generous dual aspect space with a window to the front elevation and a set of French patio doors that open to a patio area. The room benefits from plenty of natural light and has a focal point of an exposed brick fireplace.The kitchen diner again benefits from wonderful proportions and although many buyers will replace the existing kitchen it is certainly functional in the short term. There is currently an extensive range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless steel sink and drainer. The dining area also has two full height storage units. There are windows to the rear and to the side and a back door that provides an alternative access to the garden. There is ample space for all essential appliances including a cooker, fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The dining area has ample space for a large table and chairs.The bedrooms are situated toward the front of the bungalow. The two largest bedrooms both have bay windows to the front elevation and both benefit from fitted wardrobes and overhead storage. Either room could be used as the principal bedroom with the other making a delightful guest room. The third bedroom is a versatile single which could be used as an office or work space if not required as a bedroom on a day-to-day basis.Finally, there is a superb wet room. The wet room has been refitted to a high standard of finish. This has been finished in a more boutique style with fully tiled walls, LED downlights and a contemporary white suite to include a shower area, low flush WC and wall mounted wash hand basin.To the front of the home a block paved driveway provides ample off-road parking as well as direct car access to garage to the side of the property.At the rear is a private and mature garden which fans out from the property. There is a paved patio seating area and a generous lawn that is surrounded by planted borders containing a variety of trees and flora. A central bed hides a further area of garden behind that was used as a vegetable plot. The garden certainly offers scope for further extension or the erection of an outbuilding without overly compromising the outside space.This superb bungalow is already a fantastic space but the potential to add further value post purchase should be of serious interest to many buyers. Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the full potential this wonderful property offers. Thurnby lies just off the A47 Uppingham Road to the East of the city of Leicester.

The village has a public house a local Co-Op and is within the catchment for both Ferndale Primary School and St. Luke's C of E Primary School.
