Situated within one of East Leicestershire’s most desirable villages, this elegant Grade II listed Georgian home dates back to the late 18th century and has been thoughtfully enhanced to offer a superb balance of character and modern-day living. Occupying a generous plot of just over half an acre, the property enjoys mature, private gardens and is offered for sale with no upward chain.
In good order throughout, the home retains a wealth of period character features and offers well-proportioned accommodation with high ceilings and large glazed windows. The property is entered via an enclosed porch leading into a welcoming central hallway. From here, two beautifully proportioned reception rooms sit to either side. The lounge is a superb dual aspect room, filled with natural light and centred around a feature fireplace with open fire, complemented by large sash windows with original shutters and exposed floorboards. Opposite, the dining room provides an equally elegant setting for formal entertaining, also featuring a fireplace, fitted storage, and exposed floorboards.
Continuing through the ground floor, there is a useful cellar providing excellent additional storage, along with a conveniently located guest cloakroom.
To the rear of the property lies the dining kitchen, fitted with bespoke in-frame cabinetry and a range of integrated appliances, including an oil-fired Aga with electric companion. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed, offering a bright and welcoming space for family meals and entertaining, with a walk-in pantry for added practicality and a door leading directly onto the gardens. A laundry/utility room, positioned over the courtyard and connecting to the house, adds further convenience.
Arranged over the upper floors are five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The first floor landing is a generous, light-filled space, ideal as a quiet reading area. The first floor also features a double bedroom with built-in storage and a further bedroom currently utilised as a study, both served by a stylishly refitted family bathroom incorporating a freestanding bath and separate shower.
The principal bedroom is positioned on a split level between floors and provides a striking retreat, complete with a vaulted ceiling, dual aspect windows, fitted wardrobes, and a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens. It also benefits from a contemporary en suite shower room.
On the second floor are two further double bedrooms, both enjoying vaulted ceilings and dual aspects, alongside an additional bathroom fitted with a shower over bath.
The gardens are a key feature of the property, beautifully landscaped and full of established trees, plants, and seasonal bulbs. They offer a variety of spaces for relaxation and entertaining, including multiple seating areas and a terrace with a covered outdoor kitchen. A greenhouse and potting shed provide the perfect space for gardening enthusiasts, while extensive lawned areas and mature planting create a private and tranquil setting. Off-road parking is positioned to the rear of the property and accessed via timber gates.
