The Poplars is a rare Queen Anne, Grade II listed detached house set on about 0.31 acres in the sought‑after village of Kirby Muxloe. Arranged over three floors with a cellar, the house offers seven bedrooms, three bathrooms and roughly 4,260 sq ft of flexible living space, retaining many original features such as high ceilings, sash windows, panelled doors and quarry-tiled floors. A large, walled garden, wide gravel driveway and a triple detached garage (partially converted to a studio) complete the plot.
This is a character-rich home for buyers who value historic provenance and space. The principal suite enjoys a private staircase and an ensuite with a roll‑top bath; ground-floor reception rooms include a study, lounge, snug and a large kitchen/dining room with pantry and utility. The property has been sympathetically updated in parts and previously operated as a guest house, so it suits extended families or buyers planning a flexible multi-room layout.
Important practical considerations are straightforward: the house is Grade II listed, which secures its heritage but will restrict alterations and may complicate works and approvals. The building’s age means ongoing maintenance and careful, listed-appropriate repairs will be required. Council Tax is in a higher band. The plot and layout, however, provide strong potential for thoughtful updating, resale appeal, or home-office/studio use (garage studio already in place).
