Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Oakthorpe, this four-bedroom detached home combines generous family living with attractive National Forest countryside views. A large living room with a feature fireplace and bi-fold doors opens to a conservatory, while a bright open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner with patio doors leads directly to a west-facing garden — ideal for evening light and outdoor family time. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite; three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor.
Practical features include an integral single garage with utility access, off-road parking for two cars and solar panels on the roof which may reduce electricity costs. The layout suits everyday family life and entertaining, with separate day and sleeping zones and useful downstairs WC. The garden is well-maintained with paved seating, lawn and established planting backing onto open countryside.
Buyers should note the property uses electric room heaters rather than a gas central heating system; this, combined with the current EPC rating of D, could mean higher heating costs. Broadband speeds are reported as slow in the area. Council Tax Band E and the single garage size are other practical points to consider.
Positioned within walking distance of a local store and close to good primary and secondary schools, the house offers village living with easy access to nearby Measham and Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Overall this is a well-presented family home that offers immediate liveability and scope to personalise further for long-term comfort or rental potential.
