Set on a very large plot in the heart of Smeeton Westerby, this fully renovated five-bedroom detached house blends period character with contemporary living. An architect-designed double-height living kitchen and five reception rooms create flexible family spaces ideal for entertaining and everyday life. The property is offered chain free and includes an electronic gated entrance and double garage for secure parking.
The vendors have completed a high-spec refurbishment: underfloor heating to principal ground areas, bespoke Shaker cabinetry, exposed oak framing and restored original features such as fireplaces and timber beams. Manicured, landscaped gardens and a formal topiary area extend living outdoors and provide privacy and year-round interest. A cellar offers historic brick vaulting useful for wine or dry storage.
Practical points to note: the house dates from c.1900–1929 so some original construction elements remain; external cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are average for the village. These factors should be considered alongside the finished condition and generous accommodation when assessing running costs and any targeted improvements.
For families seeking a characterful village home with modern services and generous social spaces, No.4 Blacksmiths Lane delivers a rare combination of scale, finish and privacy. Commuter links to Market Harborough and Leicester are straightforward, while local schools and village amenities are within easy reach.
