The Fairway, Oadby

The Fairway is one of those roads that rarely needs introduction. Set well back from the street behind gated stone pillars, this home makes an immediate impression: a wide block-paved driveway leads to the front door, with a double garage to the right and mature planting framing both sides of the plot.
The living room is a genuinely generous space at over 20ft in length, with solid oak flooring, a feature stone fireplace and original-style glazed internal doors that allow natural light to flow between rooms. It's the kind of room that works equally well for a quiet evening in or for entertaining on a larger scale.
To the rear of the hall, a separate dining room enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden through a wide bay window. The glazed internal partition connecting these two reception rooms is a characterful period detail that adds warmth and a sense of occasion to both spaces.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been comprehensively refitted and is the practical heart of the home. Gloss-white handleless units run in a wide U-shape with dark granite worktops, under-cabinet lighting, and a hummingbird feature wall that gives the room its own personality. There's a good-sized dining table within the room and a separate utility room and WC directly off the kitchen. A further sitting room and study complete the ground floor, offering the flexibility that families increasingly look for; a home office, a playroom, or a quiet snug.
Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged off a central landing. The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned room with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite. Bedroom two is similarly sized with extensive fitted storage. Two further bedrooms, one currently set up as a twin room with original pine floorboards and wood-louvred wardrobes, round off the first floor. The family bathroom is fully tiled and includes both a bath and separate shower enclosure.
The rear garden is a real highlight; a generous, level lawn enclosed by tall established hedging on both sides, offering a rare degree of privacy for a road of this nature. A patio area sits directly off the house, with plenty of room beyond for children, entertaining, or simply enjoying the seclusion.
Planning permission was previously obtained for a rear extension, giving buyers a ready-made opportunity to significantly increase the ground-floor footprint should they wish to.
