Positioned in the heart of this ever-desirable Charnwood Forest village, this individual detached residence offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity. With a large living kitchen flooded with natural light, beautifully landscaped gardens and a large double garage with workshop, this is a family home of quality and convenience. Approached via a sweeping driveway, the property sits proudly above the road, framed by a mature front garden and established hedging that provide both screening and a sense of arrival. Glazed entrance doors open into a wonderfully bright and welcoming hallway, where natural light pours in and oak flooring flows seamlessly underfoot. A generous cloaks cupboard adds practicality to this elegant first impression. To the left, a versatile reception room, currently arranged as a music/sitting room, offers flexibility to suit a variety of needs, whether as a formal sitting room, playroom, or even a ground floor bedroom. Conveniently located adjacent is a well-appointed shower room, enhancing the home’s adaptability for multi-generational living or future proofing. To the rear, the property opens into a striking living kitchen, undoubtedly the heart of the home. Thoughtfully designed, this expansive space is divided into distinct kitchen and living areas, unified by oak and tiled flooring and an abundance of natural light. The living area is particularly impressive, featuring an atrium-style ceiling with large overhead glazing, creating a bright and uplifting environment throughout the day. Double doors lead directly out to the Mediterranean-inspired patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen itself is both stylish and functional, offering a comprehensive range of cabinetry topped with black granite work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a full-height fridge, oven and combi oven, dishwasher, and induction hob. There is ample room for both formal dining and relaxed seating, making this an ideal setting for entertaining and everyday family life. Flowing from here, the living room provides a more intimate retreat, complete with a coal-effect gas fire and a large box bay window to the front, capturing elevated views and natural light. A well-equipped utility room complements the kitchen, featuring a secondary sink, space for laundry appliances, a substantial linen cupboard, and further storage, ensuring the practical demands of modern living are effortlessly met. To the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys an elevated front aspect, offering views over the surrounding slate rooftops and Charnwood countryside. It benefits from built-in wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room, finished with a feature walk-in window and underfloor heating for added comfort. There are three further bedrooms, all thoughtfully proportioned. A double bedroom to the front includes built-in wardrobes, while another double to the rear enjoys views over the garden. The fourth bedroom, a generous single, is ideally suited as a home office or study, complete with fitted storage and a pleasant garden outlook. The family bathroom is well appointed with a shower over the bath and mirrored storage. Externally, the landscaped rear garden is a true standout feature, thoughtfully designed and arranged across tiered levels. The lower tier offers a flagstone patio, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining, framed by raised rendered borders. Steps lead up to a terrace, and onto a large lawn. The mature setting has established shrubs and trees with carefully chosen seating areas. A productive vegetable garden with greenhouse is tucked in one corner, and espalier trees provide both structure and privacy. This is a garden that has been developed over many years to offer both beauty and functionality. Further enhancing the property is an oversized double garage with an electric up-and-over door, along with a dedicated workshop space to the rear which has an insulated floor, power and lighting. Additionally, the roof void has been prepared for potential conversion, subject to the necessary planning consents, offering scope for future expansion. To the front, the sweeping shared driveway provides generous parking for at least four vehicles and access to the garage, reinforcing the home’s practicality alongside its aesthetic appeal.
