Set on an exceptionally large half-acre plot on desirable Station Road, this four-bedroom detached house combines period charm with high-spec modernisation. The house dates from the 1920s and has been thoughtfully updated — the handmade bespoke kitchen with underfloor heating and the light, generous reception rooms provide comfortable family living and strong entertaining space. A master suite with balcony, dressing room and en-suite plus three further double bedrooms give flexible accommodation for family life or a home office.
Outside, mature, landscaped gardens offer privacy and open countryside views, while electrically operated gates and a sweeping gravel drive provide generous parking. A detached double garage with a versatile games room above creates independent leisure space, ideal for teenagers or guests. The property benefits from mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and an overall high specification interior; several bathrooms also have underfloor heating. EPC rating C.
Important practical points: the house has solid brick walls as originally built and is assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, so heating costs and thermal performance may be higher than newer builds. Broadband speeds in the area are slow and mobile signal is average; council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors are worth considering alongside the property’s size, setting and quality finishes.
Located on the edge of Desford with good schools nearby and straightforward road links to Leicester, this home will suit families seeking space, character and countryside aspects close to village amenities. The plot and outbuilding scope also offer potential for additional landscaping or ancillary uses, subject to planning.
