It has been built on a plot of land amounting to a third of an acre and benefits from wrap around gardens that have been landscaped and planted to provide privacy and interest. This adds a bespoke, established quality for the foreground and background of the property, giving it an air of detachment and distinction. From the pavement perspective, the bungalow is attractively complimented with mature trees, shrubs and lawns that define planted beds and hedges. Low walls and a block paved drive sweep across the width of the property and allow an easy access to the front door or integral garage to the side. The drive is large enough for several parked vehicles and is shaped for ease of access, with dual exit/entrance points. The property has an open plan lounge diner, kitchen, large entrance hall, three bedrooms and a family bathroom, with separate cloakroom. However, The Lanterns has the potential to become even more, as the roof space is underdeveloped and could be maximised to provide a first floor with new bedrooms. This would allow an opportunity to reconfigure or repurpose the spaces on the ground floor, with the addition of a staircase. Suddenly, the possibilities for growth within the existing walls becomes very apparent and an excellent option for those seeking a totally bespoke, large home within a desirable area. In a second building to the side and rear of the main dwelling, a double garage flanked by a spacious games room provides an advantageous option for reconfiguration. Could this become an annexe? A gymnasium? Could the integral garage be altered to provide an additional bedroom? For any seeking a new home offering privacy and style in the leafy, competitively sought after conservation area of Kirby Fields, this is a substantial property offering many generous features, with the capability of realising even more.Let’s step inside. The Lanterns was originally built during the early 1960s and is a period style brick bungalow, with notable architecture elements including a box gable roof and large, single stack chimney. This pronounced feature is decorated to resemble a whole stone construction and has coordinating pillars, which contrast with the white rendered exterior walls of the building. Through a glass porch doorway, the bungalow opens into a carpeted entrance hall, acting as the main thoroughfare to all rooms within the property. It has ceiling coving, white painted skirting boards and similarly matched internal doors. Immediately to the left, the spacious lounge and dining area provides delightful views into multiple parts of the garden and easy access through patio doors. Light and airy, this L shaped space has a feature fireplace and easily accommodates furniture to subdivide the room into designated areas, with wall and ceiling light fixtures in generous supply.Along the hall, the kitchen is fitted on three sides with wall and floor units and overlooks the garden from the sink unit. It is tiled on the floor and walls, with wooden slatted panelling to the ceiling and a back door access into the garden. Presently housing all the major kitchen appliances, it has a large larder or utility cupboard that is suitable for housing a washing machine and tumble dryer. The property is sold with the oven, hob and extractor fan included. Additional storage for utility items can be found in the hall and immediately next door, the two piece cloakroom consisting of a toilet and hand basin.Bedrooms and bathing.There are three light, airy and spacious bedrooms. They are all carpeted, well maintained and have been fitted with wardrobes. The largest primary bedroom looks to the front of the bungalow.There is a family bathroom and like the separate cloak room, it has neutral coloured fittings and comprises of tiled areas, toilet, basin and bath. The bathing facilities share similar design features and provide consistency throughout the property. Into the gardenThe surrounding gardens have hedges, shrubbery, established trees and plants for all seasons. There are lawns and patios, with walk ways leading to a summer house and greenhouse. In various places garden furniture can be arranged to gain sun or shade. However, if the uncertainty of the English weather reigns supreme, a games room housing a full sized snooker table is within a few steps away and as the present owner is leaving the table in situ, it is ready to use. This is next door to another garage and as previously mentioned, it is worth considering these facilities for different purposes.LOCALITYKirby Muxloe is a large village in central England, a region referred to as the East Midlands.
