This handsome period rectory sits on about 1.59 acres of mature, private grounds on the edge of Bruntingthorpe village. The house retains strong Victorian and Georgian character — high ceilings, decorative cornices, large windows and fireplaces — while benefitting from a recently replaced heating system (air source) and modern conveniences including an EV charging point.
Designed for family living, the layout offers generous reception space: an impressive galleried hall, three large reception rooms, cellar with three chambers, and a breakfast kitchen with adjoining pantry, utility and boot room. Five double bedrooms occupy the first floor, each with high ceilings and period features; there are two family bathrooms (one fully refitted) which should be noted for a property of this size.
Externally, lawns, a former tennis lawn and woodland margins provide extensive outdoor space and privacy. The property is approached via a long tree‑lined drive to a gravelled parking area with additional tucked-away parking and a timber outbuilding/stable with power — useful storage or workshop space. Planned drawings exist to extend the layout with a family kitchen room, subject to planning permission.
The rectory is well placed for village life with a pub and parish church within easy walking distance, and road links to Market Harborough, Leicester and the M1. Broadband and mobile signal are average in this remoter, established farming community; council tax is at the higher band for the area and should be factored into running costs.
