Summary - IVY COTTAGE RECTORY END BURTON OVERY LEICESTER LE8 9EW
4 bed 2 bath Character Property
Elegant Georgian family home on almost half an acre in a prime conservation village.
Grade II Listed Georgian house with original architectural features
Ivy Cottage is a substantial Grade II Listed Georgian family home set on just under half an acre in a prime conservation village. The house combines classical period detailing — ornate coving, sash windows, marble fireplaces and original staircase — with high-quality modern upgrades including a shaker-style kitchen, stylish family bathroom and versatile cellar accommodation. The principal suite includes a vanity area and a dedicated dressing room (or fourth bedroom) with bespoke storage.
Living spaces are generously proportioned: two elegant reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with utility/boot room, ground-floor shower room and a series of cellar rooms currently used as a home office, TV den and workshop. The rear garden is a standout asset — extensive level lawns, mature planting, paved entertaining terraces and a covered hot-tub area with far-reaching countryside views. A large garage block (split use) with solid wood doors, Velux windows and a cast-iron log burner adds practical parking and hobby space.
Practical points: the home sits in a very desirable, affluent village with excellent mobile signal and good road and schooling links for families. The property comes with planning permission (ref 24/00573/FUL) for replacement outbuildings and a rear extension, presenting clear scope to extend. However, the Grade II Listing may complicate alterations and historic-property constraints should be anticipated. Broadband is FTTC and reported as slow; council tax sits at a higher band. Overall, this is a high-quality period home for buyers wanting character, generous outside space and potential to personalise further.
