This distinguished period residence, set proudly back from the road behind a fore-garden and parking, is a home of immense character and substance, offering a wealth of beautiful traditional features alongside thoughtfully extended accommodation perfectly attuned to modern family life. From the moment you step across the threshold, the tone is set. Exquisite Minton tiled flooring flows beneath your feet, complemented by elegant picture rails, decorative archways and a feature staircase that rises to the first floor. To the front elevation, the principal sitting room is bathed in natural light courtesy of a generous box bay window. An cast iron fire surround with working fireplace forms a charming focal point, creating a refined yet inviting space in which to relax. The second reception room, presently arranged as a formal dining room, echoes the home’s character with its own open fire and decorative tiled hearth, an ideal setting for entertaining which opens to the dining kitchen. A third reception room, with tiled flooring, is currently utilised as a home office, offering flexibility for modern working patterns. Undoubtedly the heart of the home lies to the rear, where a superbly appointed, extended living kitchen provides an exceptional family space. Parquet flooring adds warmth and texture, while a central island sits beneath a lantern skylight, drawing daylight deep into the room. Stylish cabinetry is paired with Corian work surfaces and an inset one and a half ceramic sink, blending contemporary design with period sensibility. Integrated appliances include a Range-style cooker, wine fridge and dishwasher, alongside space for an American-style fridge freezer. There is ample room for informal seating, and bi-fold doors open seamlessly onto the rear garden, creating a superb indoor–outdoor entertaining environment. A practical walk-in laundry room with sink and plumbing for appliances sits just off the kitchen. Further enhancing the ground floor is a versatile additional reception room with adjacent shower room. Ideal as a secondary sitting room/snug, guest suite or ground floor bedroom, this space affords excellent adaptability for multi-generational living. To the first floor, the landing leads to three bedrooms and a generously proportioned family bathroom, beautifully appointed with a freestanding claw-foot bath, high-flush WC, cast iron feature fireplace and useful storage including a linen cupboard and separate boiler cupboard. The first double bedroom enjoys its own WC and wash hand basin together with a charming cast iron fireplace. The second double bedroom benefits from the attractive front-facing box bay window and built-in storage, while the third bedroom is a single, ideal as a nursery or study. Ascending to the second floor, the principal suite occupies a private and tranquil setting. This retreat includes a walk-in dressing room and an en-suite shower room with vanity storage, creating a well-balanced and luxurious space. A cellar completes the internal accommodation, providing valuable additional storage. Externally, the property offers off-road parking for one vehicle to the front. The rear garden is of a good size, predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by decked and patio seating areas, perfectly suited to al fresco dining and summer gatherings, along with a useful garden shed.

Quorn is renowned for its charming village centre, independent boutiques, cafés and traditional public houses, as well as scenic riverside walks along the River Soar and access to open countryside.
