Set in one of south Leicestershire’s most attractive villages, this substantial four-bedroom semi-detached home blends period character with a high-quality recent remodel. Reclaimed timbers, exposed beams and a central fireplace create a warm, traditional feel, while the hand-built bespoke kitchen and vaulted ceiling introduce contemporary, family-friendly living. The principal bedroom opens to a balcony with uninterrupted countryside views — a quiet spot for morning coffee.
Ground floor living is arranged for everyday family life and entertaining: a cosy living room with wood-burning stove, a separate study/snug, formal dining room with bi-fold doors to a paved terrace, and a practical utility plus shower room. The garage has a useful hobby room above, power and a cloakroom — flexible space for work, storage or hobbies. The landscaped, tiered rear garden offers multiple seating areas and covered alfresco dining with lighting.
The house has been extensively renovated and is offered freehold with modern boiler heating and double glazing (install date unknown). Note the property’s solid brick walls were built before 1900 and are assumed to lack cavity insulation, which may affect energy performance and running costs. Broadband speeds are slow in the village; mobile signal is excellent. Local primary and secondary schools are nearby but currently have Ofsted ratings that require improvement.
This home will suit families seeking spacious character accommodation in a peaceful, very affluent rural setting with good road links to Leicester and the motorways. It delivers immediate move-in comfort alongside some running-cost considerations and potential for further energy-efficiency improvements.
