There is considerably more to this three-bedroom home than first meets the eye. From the front, the property has a relatively modest appearance, but its position and clever three-storey layout create a surprisingly generous amount of accommodation.

You enter the property on the middle floor, while the rear elevation reveals the true scale of the house, with accommodation extending both above and below the entrance level. For buyers looking for space, flexibility and something a little different from the conventional three-bedroom layout, this is certainly worth viewing.

Entrance Hall
A UPVC entrance door opens into an impressively spacious hallway, with a double-glazed window bringing in plenty of natural light.

There is a radiator, useful built-in storage and access to the principal rooms on this level, with staircases leading both up and down to the remaining accommodation.

Kitchen Diner
Turning immediately left, the kitchen diner provides an excellent everyday family space with plenty of room for both cooking and dining.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with work surfaces over, together with a stainless steel sink and drainer, gas hob, electric oven and dishwasher. A large double-glazed window provides plenty of natural light, while laminate flooring runs through the room.

Importantly, there is ample space for a dining table, making this a sociable room that works particularly well for family life.

Family Bathroom
Also positioned on the entrance level is a particularly generous four-piece bathroom.

The suite comprises a separate shower cubicle, panelled bath, WC and wash hand basin, complemented by a radiator and double-glazed window. Its size is another example of just how much space this property provides.

Utility Room & Storage
A separate utility room offers further practicality. Plumbing, electrics and a window are already in place, leaving an excellent opportunity for the next owner to fit the room out with units and appliances to their own specification.

There is also a large additional storage cupboard.

First Floor
Heading upstairs, the property continues to surprise.

The third bedroom is positioned on this level and includes a double-glazed window and radiator.

The real highlight, however, is the main living room. Exceptionally generous in size, it provides plenty of flexibility for different furniture arrangements and is considerably larger than you might expect from the property's external appearance.

Perhaps its best feature is the outlook, with far-reaching views extending towards Leicester city centre. There is also a useful built-in storage cupboard.

Lower Ground Floor
Returning to the entrance hall and heading downstairs brings you to the lower level, where two further bedrooms are positioned.

Both are genuine double bedrooms with double-glazed windows and radiators, creating an unusual but highly practical arrangement that separates the principal sleeping accommodation from the main living spaces.

There is also direct access from this level into the rear garden.

Outside
To the rear is an enclosed garden, predominantly laid to lawn and surrounded by fencing, providing a private outside space directly accessible from the lower floor.

At the front, a gravelled driveway provides off-road parking, while the property also benefits from a detached single garage, adding valuable additional parking and storage.

The Riva Lily View
This is one of those properties where viewing in person makes all the difference. Its modest frontage gives very little indication of the amount of accommodation hidden behind it.

With three bedrooms, two of which are doubles, a huge living room with impressive views, a kitchen diner, four-piece bathroom, separate utility, garden, driveway and detached garage, there is a surprising amount of house on offer.

For anyone who values internal space and a flexible three-storey layout, this is a home that deserves to be seen.
