Tucked into the heart of Billesdon, Orchard Barn is a substantial four-bedroom detached barn conversion that combines generous family accommodation with characterful features. Built around 25 years ago within the village conservation area, the home centres on a dramatic reception hall with vaulted ceiling and galleried landing and offers spacious reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen with Aga, separate study and versatile living areas across two floors. The principal and second bedrooms both have ensuites, complemented by two further doubles and a family bathroom — good layout for family life or flexible home-working.
The exterior and grounds are strong selling points: a wide gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads to a double garage with twin electric doors, while the attractive south-west facing garden has paved terraces, lawn and mature borders for afternoon sun and family entertaining. The property sits centrally in a thriving village with local amenities, school options and easy road links to Leicester, Market Harborough and Oakham.
Buyers should note a few practical points. The building retains solid brick/stone walls typical of conversions; insulation is believed to be as-built (no modern cavity), which could mean higher heating demand compared with newer builds. Council Tax is high (Band G) and owners have historically contributed to the upkeep of the shared driveway – this arrangement should be checked prior to purchase. Broadband is FTTC and mobile signal is average, adequate for most home working but worth confirming for high-demand users.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home in a desirable, affluent village setting. It will suit buyers looking for a mature barn conversion with generous living space, outside entertaining garden and immediate village convenience, while those prioritising the lowest running costs or the latest construction standards should factor in potential upgrading and maintenance work.
