4 Bedroom Detached House

A beautifully extended and newly renovated four-bedroom semi-detached family home set in the historic Leicestershire village of Ratby. Perfect for buyers looking to upsize into a stylish, low-maintenance home, this property offers spacious accommodation, a generous rear garden and parking for 4–5 vehicles, all finished to a superb standard.

Over the last 12 months, the house has undergone an extensive programme of works, including a brand-new roof, brand-new lighting throughout, full replastering and thermal-backed radiators. Care has been taken to retain some original character, with the architraves carefully preserved during the renovation. The ground floor boasts solid 10mm hardwood flooring with underlay and insulation between the joists – ensuring warmth and efficiency for years to come.

Inside, the dual-aspect reception room offers excellent family space with room for multiple sofas and a dining table, while French doors open onto the rear garden. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with sleek black accents, a four-burner hob, an integrated Hotpoint fan oven, integrated fridge/freezer, Kenwood washing machine, black quartz sink and Baxi combi boiler. A handy downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys dual aspect views and a modern en-suite shower room with wood-effect tiles, raindrop shower and LED mood lighting. Bedrooms two and three are spacious doubles, both light and airy with large windows, while bedroom four makes an ideal study, nursery or guest room. The luxurious family shower room features grey tiling, a vanity unit with a wash basin, WC and a large double shower cubicle.

Outside, the large rear garden offers privacy and versatility, with a mix of lawn, stepping stones, patio space and mature shrub borders – perfect for family time, summer BBQs, or simply relaxing. The garden also leads directly into the beautiful Martinshaw Woods, a haven for dog walking, cycling and nature trails. To the front, the driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles alongside a garage, which could also serve as storage, a workshop, gym or hobby space.

Ratby offers the perfect balance of village charm and modern convenience. Families benefit from excellent local schooling, with Ratby Primary School on the doorstep and Brookvale Groby Learning Campus less than a mile away, alongside further highly regarded schools in Groby, Kirby Muxloe and Anstey.

The village itself provides day-to-day amenities including a post office, local shops, library and Ratby Sports Club, as well as a choice of welcoming pubs such as The Bulls Head, The Plough Inn and The Railway Inn.
