Set in picture-postcard Saddington, this Grade II Listed former chapel conversion provides dramatic, character-rich living across generous rooms. The vaulted chapel living room, arched windows and Norwegian-tiled log burner create a striking central space for family life and entertaining. Multiple reception rooms — study, dining room, conservatory and a library/barn conversion — give flexible layout options to suit children, home working or hobby uses.
The bespoke hand-built kitchen with granite worktops, Falcon range cooker and Fisher & Paykel dual-drawer dishwasher gives practical, high-quality cooking space, with adjacent utility and cellar for storage. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a private barn-annexe bedroom accessed by its own staircase, and three bathrooms (two with roll-top baths) that reinforce the home’s period charm and comfortable daily living.
Outside, a gated block-paved driveway provides secure off-street parking and a private courtyard-style garden with terraces and mature planting offers an intimate, low-maintenance outside area. The village location delivers countryside tranquillity with local amenities, pleasant walks and good connections to Fleckney, Kibworth, Market Harborough and Leicester for broader services and rail links.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II Listed and lies in a conservation area, so alterations will be restricted and may complicate extensions or certain works. There are specific covenants and wayleaves affecting parts of the land; council tax is above average and broadband is average rather than high-speed. These factors are material for buyers planning major alterations or full modernisation.
