Property details often only tell half the story.

A quick glance at this house in Hinckley, for instance, is a prime example.

Yes, it looks big and indeed it is beautiful, but what about inside and round the back of the house? And does it really have three bedrooms as the property details on Zoopla indicate?

Well, take a closer look.

There are three large double bedrooms on the first floor, along with a family bathroom, but on the ground floor is a fourth bedroom with an en suite, which the current owners are using as a study/ reception room.

Does that mean there's restricted reception space? Well again, no.  On the ground floor is a conservatory, lounge, dining room, kitchen, laundry and a large entrance hall, porch and a toilet.

So, what else does the frontage not tell us?

Step outside at the back of the house and you'll find a lovely garden as well as summer houses, which offer further space. 

One of the summer houses in particular is perfect should a shower occur when entertaining - there is room for dining or relaxing in here.

Look inside and see for yourself...

This house is actually full of surprises.  When the current owners set about improving this property they created a beautiful family home with modern finishes throughout. 

Extended in 2016 its interior is finished in a contemporary style - every room has been given a modern touch.

There is also potential to further add to the property - the selling agent, Castle Estates, says that there is the potential for garage space here, subject to local planning consents.

With the house located in Burbage, which the agent says is "one of the area's most sought after addresses", the firm adds that viewing is essential.
