A home where light and landscape conspire to create beauty, this five-bedroom detached residence enjoys an enviable position within Lakeside Court, one of Thurnby’s most picturesque and exclusive addresses. From its elevated setting, the house gazes across the ornamental lake — a view to stir the soul each morning and soothe the spirit each evening. The Ground Floor Through twin doors framed by sidelights, you step into a wide entrance hall that exudes elegance. A floating staircase, with glass balustrades rising effortlessly, creates a sense of openness while pendant lights shimmer above, setting the stage for the home beyond. To the left, the principal lounge unfolds, bathed in natural light, its rear windows framing the garden and glazed doors opening directly to the landscaped front. A space both uplifting and serene. At the heart of the home lies a sleek, contemporary kitchen, dressed in glossy cabinetry with integrated appliances and granite work surfaces. A wide front window captures daylight, while the adjoining formal dining room, also front-facing, is an inviting stage for family feasts and candlelit suppers alike. The second sitting room is designed for quieter moments — a tranquil retreat with views to the rear, and sliding doors spilling into the side garden where sunshine lingers long into the evening. Practicality is delivered through a cloakroom and boot room leading to the guest W/C. The First Floor Ascend to the galleried landing, where a cascade of pendant lights glimmers against a tall picture window, flooding the hallway with radiance. Here, the sense of space and drama is undeniable. Five bedrooms radiate from this central space, each generous in scale. The master suite is a sanctuary of elegance: a Juliet balcony frames uninterrupted views across the lake, a modern en suite offers indulgence, and a fitted wardrobe ensures function matches form. The second bedroom, too, enjoys a private en suite, ideal for guests or older children, while three further bedrooms share a stylish family bathroom with bath and overhead shower. Outside From its elevated approach, the property commands attention. Lawns sweep gracefully to the front, a block-paved drive leads to a detached double garage, and mature planting softens the structure’s impressive stance. To the side and rear, private gardens are thoughtfully terraced, providing intimate spaces for entertaining or quiet reflection beneath the trees.
