Summary - 1A CHURCH STREET WILBARSTON MARKET HARBOROUGH LE16 8QG
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious entertaining layout, five-car parking and elevated valley views.
Large open-plan kitchen/family room with granite worktops and island
This extended detached house in Wilbarston blends modern open-plan living with period character and countryside views. The heart of the home is a 500 sq ft kitchen/family room with bespoke granite worktops, island, bifold doors and rooflights — designed for entertaining and daily family life. A garage conversion completed with building control now provides a versatile office/bar area with its own fuse board and app-controlled heating.
The house has been comprehensively refurbished over the past nine years and includes double glazing, a new garden paved with Italian porcelain, EV charger and parking for five cars. The layout offers four bedrooms (three doubles), a master ensuite and a family bathroom, plus useful ancillary rooms: utility, downstairs WC and a cinema/gym with integrated wiring.
Important practical points: the property’s listed construction materials indicate stone walls with assumed no cavity insulation and the home is older than 1900, which can mean higher maintenance and running costs. Council tax is above average. The advertised overall internal size is 500 sq ft, which is small for a four-bedroom detached — buyers should verify measurements and room sizes in person.
Situated in an affluent, low-crime village with good mobile and broadband, the location suits commuters (Market Harborough/Corby trains to London) and families seeking countryside walks, a primary school and village amenities. The house will appeal to buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in period property with contemporary living spaces, but those seeking low-maintenance, new-build efficiency should factor in potential retrofit and ongoing upkeep.
