The Old Byre is a spacious five‑double-bedroom barn conversion set in a quiet rural lane on the edge of Dingley, moments from Market Harborough. The house preserves character features—exposed A‑frame timbers, quarry-tiled kitchen floors and a large brick fireplace—while offering versatile living: an impressive central reception hall with mezzanine, a generous open-plan living kitchen, separate family room and a particularly large dining room. The principal bedroom enjoys an attractive vaulted timber ceiling and a well-appointed en suite.
Outside, the property sits in open countryside with attractive views and a south‑facing patio. A shared gravel drive leads to ample private parking, a brick-built garage with carport and several useful outbuildings and ancillary barns that provide storage or potential conversion subject to consents. The enclosed garden and courtyard offer privacy and easy outdoor entertaining.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: the house uses oil-fired central heating and private drainage, which may need updating and should be investigated before offer. Several fixtures and fittings are excluded from the sale. Council Tax is Band G and therefore relatively expensive. The shared drive and any conversion of outbuildings will be subject to rights of way and planning permissions.
For families seeking generous, characterful accommodation close to good local schools and fast road and rail links, this property combines rural tranquillity with convenience. For buyers wanting to exploit ancillary buildings or modernise services, there is clear scope for improvement and value-add, but that will require time, consent and budget.
