Chestnut House is a substantial 1950s detached residence set on a large plot between Saddington and Kibworth. Its two-storey layout provides flexible living with three reception rooms, a kitchen and utility on the ground floor and four double bedrooms upstairs, including a principal bedroom with ensuite. The house sits in an attractive rural setting with open countryside views to the front and a sizeable lawned garden to the rear.
This property offers strong potential for a family seeking space to extend, reconfigure or modernise. The interior is bright with patio doors linking the main reception to the garden, and generous room proportions throughout. Practical features include mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing and off-road parking leading to a single garage—useful for vehicles and storage.
Buyers should note the property needs renovation and modernisation: the EPC is D, walls are cavity with assumed no insulation, and glazing installation dates are unknown. Broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal. Council Tax is in the higher band G, which is a recurring cost consideration.
Location is a key strength: village amenities, nearby Saddington Reservoir and extensive footpaths appeal to outdoor lovers, while Market Harborough (7 miles) and Leicester (12 miles) provide rail and road links for commuters. The house is best suited to a family or purchaser wanting a countryside home with scope to improve and personalise.
