‘A rural retreat in a central location.’ Characterful and imposing Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac but within walking distance of the small village of Elmesthorpe in south Leicestershire, the Homestead is a delightfully bespoke residence providing four bedrooms with partner en-suites and a generous combination of spacious and versatile ground floor reception rooms. It was originally built in 1996 and has been extended by previous owners to provide a unique house offering character and charm. As an executive property, it has been maintained to a high standard, is situated in a superb location and fulfils contemporary expectations for a family home. From the kerb side, the house appears immediately imposing. It is positioned atop a gated drive and designed with a striking cross gabled roof, distributed with multiple dormer bedroom windows and a weathervane mounted by a traditional cockerel. A delightful Juliette balcony, striking apex window and arched solid wood, tongue and groove front door all add to the imposing first impression. Swathed in Virginia Creeper, carefully trained across the front of the house, this home presents as one of character and style, with a twist of originality that will be appreciated as our tour continues. Once beyond the front gates, the landscaped front garden is a combination of hedges, lawn, established shrubbery and planted beds: indicative of the generous, well maintained nature of the whole property and grounds. A double garage, covered double car porch and sweeping drive lead to the front of the house. To the side, a wrought iron gate and path lead to the rear gardens. A bespoke welcoming entrance As we enter by the front door adorned with ornate black ironmongery, bell and outside light, through the double glass doors opening into the hall, the splendid L shaped staircase takes central stage as it rises - seemingly without support - to the galleried landing above. This lofty expanse is illuminated during the daytime with natural sunlight, as the tall front windows above the porch permit light to flood into the vault above the hall, showcasing the mellowed beams straddling the ceiling and carved spindles of the staircase. It is a beautiful feature of the property and primarily leads to three double bedrooms with en-suites on the first floor. One of the bedrooms is a Jack and Jill room, permitting access to the second landing, the fourth double bedroom with en-suite and a second staircase. The second staircase The spacious and welcoming hall sets the standard for the quality and taste of the interior decoration throughout the property. At the centre of the house, all the reception rooms can be accessed from the hall, with the exception of the utility room and sitting room. The sitting room was originally garage space and has been altered to create an additional, informal and relaxing family room in close proximity to the kitchen. This large, airy room has five bi folding doors that open into the privacy of the front garden, with integrated access to the double garage next door. It has a combination of features including plain painted walls, exposed brick work, solid wooden flooring and flushed ceiling lighting that will feature throughout the house to present a coordinated, contemporary style. We can now leave the sitting room and enter into the utility area. The second staircase divides the room and provides a practical space fitted with worktops, sink and plumbing for all laundry appliances. An exterior door to the rear garden allows convenient access across a tiled floor. This practical arrangement allows the main hall to be bypassed by using the smaller flight of stairs to reach the second landing and balconied bedroom above the sitting room. A tastefully designed, contemporary kitchen The kitchen has a beautifully streamlined arrangement of wall and floor units that curve around the room and the central island. This contains the convection hob with overhead extractor fan, storage facilities and working areas. Large neutral floor tiles contrast against the smooth, fluid surfaces of the cabinetry, where handles are sleekly minimalistic and kitchen appliances – ovens, dishwasher, fridge freezer - are discreetly integrated to enhance the overall design. It has subtle and targeted lighting and features vertical industrial styled radiators in graphite grey. French doors open into the garden and a seating area amply provides room for a dining table and chairs. With windows or doors on three walls, this light, well-proportioned room, ticks all the boxes for creatively using the hub of the house, as a relaxed, social area focused around mealtimes. The remaining ground floor rooms Leaving the kitchen the main hall can be re-entered and in a clockwise direction there are doors opening into a cloak room, dining room, lounge and study. This property is luxuriously equipped with en-suites to partner each bedroom and as with the downstairs cloakroom, is similarly fitted to a high specification with white sanitary ware, hard flooring and contemporary radiator. The large dining room overlooks the rear grounds and has a set of French doors. Likewise, the spacious lounge next door has two pairs of equidistant French doors on either side of a rustic fireplace, complete with gnarled wooden beam and recessed chimney breast. Windows provide dual aspects and create a lovely, light and airy room. The remaining room is the separate study, which is fitted with appropriate furniture for a desk area, storage and office appliances. It also has a fireplace, with wooden mantel and tiled hearth. It is worth noting that due to the number of reception rooms providing multiple functions, the dining room or study, could easily serve a different purpose. Whatever their use, they are ideally positioned within a few steps to the cloakroom and kitchen. The ascent to the galleried landing The carpeted staircase has partially exposed white painted steps that lead to the wonderful galleried landing above. From this position, the large apex window can be appreciated and around its base, an internal wooden balustrade creates a feature reminiscent of a minstrel’s gallery. The unhindered light floods along the landing leading to three of the double bedrooms. The rooms at the front of the house benefit from the additional space afforded by the dormer windows and two of them have balconies from which to appreciate the views. The prime suite is one of these and comes complete with a spacious bedroom, dressing room and five piece en-suite with roll top bath. Each bedroom is unique but similarly, tastefully decorated, with solid flooring, painted walls and the luxury of a partner en-suite. Spacious house, spacious garden The front, side and rear garden at some point in the course of the day enjoys the sun and the sweep of lawn along three sides extenuates the width of the plot. It is bordered by hedges and there are many idyllic, private places to sit, work, relax or play, with flower beds, a pond, paved areas and established trees. Covered patio spaces provide shade and outside retreats for entertaining, while a greenhouse and sheds accommodate tools and garden equipment.

Sheiling House is a remarkable and immensely charming four-bedroom detached family home designed to be filled with life and enjoyment. Ringed by south Leicestershire’s open countryside on the edge of South Kilworth, this hidden gem unfurls over two acres, offering an extensive mature garden to the rear and a driveway with a lawn and double garage to the front. The interior is very open and spacious, with an interlinked bespoke kitchen and family room, two receptions and a hardwood conservatory, and four bright bedrooms (including two en suites) flowing around a stunning central butterfly staircase. Decorated with a fresh modern palette that combines warm neutral paintwork with tasteful wallpaper, plush carpets and hardwood floors, coved ceilings, wall-lights and lots of natural light throughout, the home emanates a cosy country feel despite its generous symmetrical proportions. Built in the 1990s, the house also had planning permission for a swimming pool and lapsed planning for a bedroom and en suite above the garage. The current owners have replaced all the windows and most of the external doors, installed a new oil tank within the last two years and replaced the septic tank with a waste processing unit and water drainage scheme. Quietly Commanding From a peaceful leafy road, pull through a five-bar gate onto a large in-and-out driveway, which curves around a lawn screened by neat hedgerows and a peppering of mature trees and shrubs. Another five-bar gate leads to a long, gravelled driveway to the side of the house, with more parking available in the integral double garage. Bushes and climbing plants soften the assertive double-fronted red brick exterior, finished with painted window frames to match the front entrance. Space to Breathe Step through into a bright porch with tiled flooring. Ahead, a striking second entrance door with raised panels, traditional knocker and inlaid stained-glass hints at the grandeur in the reception hallway – an exquisite mahogany butterfly staircase enriched with a fitted tartan runner. Tear your eyes away from this attractive central anticultural feature to notice the wide hardwood floor underfoot, subtle leaf-print wallpaper continuing to the first-floor galleried landing, and an array of wall lamps soothing the atmosphere. Just to your left, a walkthrough reveals an inner hall with integrated storage and access to a cloakroom with a stylish glass basin and a loo. Adjacent, you’ll find a carpeted study with a custom dual desk and two big windows with fitted blinds hinting at the greenery beyond. Opposite, a door links directly into the kitchen. Making Cherished Memories To the right of the hallway lies a massive living room flooded with light from windows to three aspects and part-glazed double doors to the terrace. A magnificent, ornately carved antique mantelpiece with a marble hearth and an open fire lies at the heart of the room. You can just imagine the whole family gathering here on rainy weekends or for seasonal celebrations, with ample play space for the kids on the carpet. Hidden behind the stairs, glazed double doors invite you into the family room, where the hardwood flooring continues, and sleek vertical radiators add style and warmth. A more relaxed and informal seating area, it nevertheless feels central to the action, separated from the kitchen only by a breakfast bar and with the conservatory just a set of glazed doors away. This is the natural place for family and guests to gather while you’re busy in the Alexander Lewis bespoke kitchen, which features underfloor heated Indian slate tiles – echoed in the utility and conservatory for comfort in the cooler months. Illuminated by recessed downlights, wooden Shaker-style cupboards and base cabinets with granite worktops face a matching central island with storage, a chrome power socket, and an integrated chopping board. There’s space for a range cooker with extractor hood above, a dishwasher, and a concealed fridge-freezer, plus you’ll find more granite-topped storage to the breakfast bar. Windows overlook the garden above a stainless-steel sink, while a glazed door encourages you to bring drinks through into the conservatory. Here, the striking Brazilian hardwood and brick structure beautifully frames the lush garden it opens onto via two sturdy double doors. Fitted blinds above cool you down in the summer, with help from a Rutland Conservatories ‘top hat’ ventilation system. Return to the kitchen and head through into a utility with worksurfaces and a sink, space for appliances, and integrated storage by the back door. You can also access the double garage from here – great for bringing home shopping on rainy days or returning from muddy country walks. Relax & Unwind Upstairs, four double bedrooms and a family bathroom converge onto a split-level galleried landing big enough for a study or library area. The tartan runner to the stairs flows seamlessly around the bannisters, creating a cosy meeting space brightened by a chandelier fitting and a large front window. It won’t be long before the youngest family members are zipping around on their way to and from bed, watched over perhaps by a string of family photographs and portraits. Pass the airing cupboard right of the stairs to enter a super-king-sized master suite. Here, silvery wallpaper and warm lighting suggest a dreamy woodland landscape to soften the vibrant country view through the inward-opening double doors. Recessed downlights illuminate a tiled en suite with a glass-screened shower over the bath, vanity basin unit with mirror, matching side cupboards and a loo. Bedroom four sits behind the master to the front of the house. A trio of dual-aspect windows adds a cheerful glow to the two-tone blue walls and neutral carpet, creating a lovely boy’s bedroom and play area. To the left of the stairs and opposite the master, you’ll find bedroom two – another fantastic carpeted double with sophisticated wallpaper and a bank of Shaker-style integrated floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. With an en suite shower room and a view of the garden, this bedroom would be ideal for teenagers and young adults in need of more space and privacy. The final bedroom to the front is yet another light-filled double with delightful upbeat décor and loads of room for wardrobes, drawers, or a dressing table. You can also access the loft from here via a hatch. Just ahead from the stairs is a contemporary family bathroom with high-quality laminate flooring and slate wall tiles. Beneath the window, soak away your cares in the claw-footed roll-top bath, which also features a handheld shower attachment. Alternatively, step up to a luxurious walk-in shower enclosure beside a conveniently placed chrome heated towel rail. A chic basin vanity unit and loo complete the suite. Private & Secluded On the site of a former smallholding, the two-acre plot on which the home sits begins to the rear with a generous paved terrace dotted with neatly trimmed shrubs. To one side, you’ll find a box-edged garden with raised beds for flowers or vegetables. Steps lead down from this amazing al fresco dining space onto a sweeping lawn thronged with flower and shrub beds and sheltering trees. Rest in the wooden gazebo and enjoy the view across to a long interlinking lawn separated from the main garden and side driveway by two gates and open fencing. Screened from view by trees is another patio area with a shed/workshop where you can store gardening equipment and tools. With nothing but fields between the garden and the River Avon in the near distance, you and your loved ones will be treated to an ever-changing seasonal view from your back door. A Lovely Location The friendly village of South Kilworth is nestled in the Harborough district of south Leicestershire, close to several major towns and cities easily accessed via the M1/M6/A14. London Euston can be reached in 48 minutes from Rugby train station, or hop on at Market Harborough to arrive in London St Pancras in 55-minutes.

The Hall was built in 2002, inspired by The National Trusts Baddesley Clinton, a charming archetypal medieval manor house in Warwickshire. Baddesley Clinton is a fifteenth century Manor, architecturally renowned for being an example of a residence exhibiting a synthesis of building modifications that reflect the changes in taste and style across four centuries. It is this unique model that inspired the design of this stunning home named The Hall by Walrus Projects, a little over twenty-one years ago. Externally, The Hall has been designed to reflect two distinct periods of architecture. The east west wing embodies the character of the afore mentioned Baddesley clintion through its 15th century style and fortified entrance, married sympathetically to the north south wing, emulating an 18th century farm house. The fusion of period styles and building detail, creates the illusion that the house has been standing for centuries and as such is an established part of the landscape and character of Leire, a sought after village in south west Leicestershire. It could easily be imagined that as time passed the original, building was altered to cater for the growing requirements and preferences of its owners. In truth, The Hall is the progeny of traditional house styles that have been masterfully coordinated to produce a bespoke detached home containing six bedrooms- of which one has en suite facilities and another with both dressing room and ensuite facilities – spacious, beautifully maintained reception rooms and a designer kitchen. It is a unique, luxurious, contemporary property that has been sympathetically designed to enhance its surroundings and achieves its objective: it looks totally at one with its surroundings. Utterly bespoke. Approached via a private road, leading to a gated drive accessed either through a separate pedestrian gate or via the main vehicle entrance. An intercom system and electrically operated wrought iron gates impressively open onto the carriage way. This leads to a central turning circle in front of the main residence. To the side of the house, the drive sweeps around to the adjoining open bay and double garage. This building has a room above the garage, which could be converted to serve as a gym or home office. Further parking is available on a cobbled courtyard that runs up to and along the back of the property. The drive and house are illuminated by sensor operated lighting and spotlights from sundown. The fusion of architectural differences can be appreciated when viewed from the drive, as the complimentary wings reveal the pleasing balance of contrasting windows and brickwork. The main east west wing features a carved stone plaque bearing the title of the building and the prominent castellated stone tower which serves as the front entrance with a recessed portico. Stone plinths, dressed stone drip moulds and a horizontal string course add character and interest and demonstrate craftsmanship and tradition. This wing also has leaded windows. Similarly, the north south wing of the property also exhibits design details that are typical of an era, including patterned brickwork, pattress plates, tie bars and wall tees. It has newly fitted white wood effect windows (June 2023) and presents as a building of some age. Indeed, the shape of the roof with its irregular ridges, hip and valley convergence and either reclaimed slate or country style pantiles, convey the notion that this is a property with a history. Within The Hall, the east west wing has conventional style plastering throughout, accessorised with deep skirting boards, heavy architraves, wall panelling, radiator covers and traditionally styled doors. In contrast, the north south wing has freestyle plastering used to great effect with exposed brick features on walls and floors. Braced pine doors accessorised with black door furniture - further authenticate the style of the wing. Character and style A wonderfully detailed entrance – stone work, exposed brick and a stately solid oak panelled door – greet the visitor to The Hall. Beyond the entrance hall double doors open into the beautifully light, spacious and impressive main hall, notably laid with a tumbled limestone chequered floor in grey/blue and neutral colour. A beautiful hand carved limestone stone fireplace surround with an open fire takes centre stage here. The standard and presentation of the entrance hall is indicative of the architectural detail and period fixtures throughout the property, which has been sourced with high quality decorative features and materials and maintained to an exacting standard. The Hall is predominantly decorated in neutral tones punctuated by contemporary highlights of colour which further enhance the beautiful interior of this bespoke home. The combination of the generously proportioned rooms, the use of neutral and contemporary colours and the quality and craftsmanship of the internal features provide a sense of space and calm. Relaxation and entertainment. The large sitting room has comfort and grandeur in abundance, with a stone fireplace, brick hearth and log burner. Subtle lighting, ornate arched windows and oak flooring combine functionality and style and lead the eye to the beautiful garden room beyond, where decorative themes repeat in a light filled room offering views into the grounds. Large french doors open on to the patio area perfect for summer entertaining . The dining room is elegantly wall papered, has a stone fireplace, stone hearth and carpet. This room has french doors opening into the pretty garden. The remaining reception room, the family room, is approached across a hallway decorated with a herringbone brick patterned floor. A painted brick arched fireplace houses an ornate gas log burning stove and the herringbone brick is continued into the wall adding further charm and detail to this cosy and relaxing room. Also accessible from the inner hall is the utility room, downstairs cloakroom and entry to the second staircase. The Study This delightful room is carpeted and has a large window overlooking the garden and features painted panelling along its walls. Bespoke Kitchen The Hall has a spacious and quite magnificent, designer kitchen. It is the width of the property and combines an impressive mix of tall walnut pantry cupboards and additional contemporary cabinetry painted with Little Green paint. Three large windows overlook both the walled garden and driveway. This immaculate Shaker style kitchen with Freida Durestein work surfaces sits upon a limestone floor. A sinuous central island houses a sink and walnut covered breakfast bar. A light grey Aga, induction hob, combi oven and Miele dishwasher (purchased in 2023) provide high quality appliances, along with two Leibherr fridges (purchased in 2023). There is ample space for a large 8/10 seater table . Finally a painted brick archway and curved wall provide further detail and character to this exquisite kitchen. Other storage is provided with additional cupboards, including a large pantry under the second staircase and another equipped for coats. The utility room is similarly fitted with a tall shaker style cupboard units and a limestone floor. There is a newly replaced back door from the courtyard to the utility. A handy hatch links this room to the kitchen. The room is fitted with an extractor fan and all plumbing requirements for a washing machine and vented tumble drier. Cloakrooms There are two downstairs cloakrooms. One is filled with half wall porcelain tiles with further hanging space and the other located in the east west wing with stone floor and tongue and groove wall panelling. The first floor An attractive Winder style staircase with white newel posts, handrail and treads is an impressive feature of the hall. It is part covered with a carpet runner secured by stair rods leading to a large landing revealing exposed wooden boards. This airy space meanders across both wings and provides access to six bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first level. The carpeted master suite of rooms consists of a large bedroom with dual aspect windows, fitted with shutters and a walk-in wardrobe. The dressing is a room fitted with integrated storage next door to which is an en-suite comprising of bath, toilet and basin and Amtico flooring. It is partially tiled.

‘A rural retreat in a central location.’ Characterful and imposing Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac but within walking distance of the small village of Elmesthorpe in south Leicestershire, the Homestead is a delightfully bespoke residence providing four bedrooms with partner en-suites and a generous combination of spacious and versatile ground floor reception rooms. It was originally built in 1996 and has been extended by previous owners to provide a unique house offering character and charm. As an executive property, it has been maintained to a high standard, is situated in a superb location and fulfils contemporary expectations for a family home. From the kerb side, the house appears immediately imposing. It is positioned atop a gated drive and designed with a striking cross gabled roof, distributed with multiple dormer bedroom windows and a weathervane mounted by a traditional cockerel. A delightful Juliette balcony, striking apex window and arched solid wood, tongue and groove front door all add to the imposing first impression. Swathed in Virginia Creeper, carefully trained across the front of the house, this home presents as one of character and style, with a twist of originality that will be appreciated as our tour continues. Once beyond the front gates, the landscaped front garden is a combination of hedges, lawn, established shrubbery and planted beds: indicative of the generous, well maintained nature of the whole property and grounds. A double garage, covered double car porch and sweeping drive lead to the front of the house. To the side, a wrought iron gate and path lead to the rear gardens. A bespoke welcoming entrance As we enter by the front door adorned with ornate black ironmongery, bell and outside light, through the double glass doors opening into the hall, the splendid L shaped staircase takes central stage as it rises - seemingly without support - to the galleried landing above. This lofty expanse is illuminated during the daytime with natural sunlight, as the tall front windows above the porch permit light to flood into the vault above the hall, showcasing the mellowed beams straddling the ceiling and carved spindles of the staircase. It is a beautiful feature of the property and primarily leads to three double bedrooms with en-suites on the first floor. One of the bedrooms is a Jack and Jill room, permitting access to the second landing, the fourth double bedroom with en-suite and a second staircase. The second staircase The spacious and welcoming hall sets the standard for the quality and taste of the interior decoration throughout the property. At the centre of the house, all the reception rooms can be accessed from the hall, with the exception of the utility room and sitting room. The sitting room was originally garage space and has been altered to create an additional, informal and relaxing family room in close proximity to the kitchen. This large, airy room has five bi folding doors that open into the privacy of the front garden, with integrated access to the double garage next door. It has a combination of features including plain painted walls, exposed brick work, solid wooden flooring and flushed ceiling lighting that will feature throughout the house to present a coordinated, contemporary style. We can now leave the sitting room and enter into the utility area. The second staircase divides the room and provides a practical space fitted with worktops, sink and plumbing for all laundry appliances. An exterior door to the rear garden allows convenient access across a tiled floor. This practical arrangement allows the main hall to be bypassed by using the smaller flight of stairs to reach the second landing and balconied bedroom above the sitting room. A tastefully designed, contemporary kitchen The kitchen has a beautifully streamlined arrangement of wall and floor units that curve around the room and the central island. This contains the convection hob with overhead extractor fan, storage facilities and working areas. Large neutral floor tiles contrast against the smooth, fluid surfaces of the cabinetry, where handles are sleekly minimalistic and kitchen appliances – ovens, dishwasher, fridge freezer - are discreetly integrated to enhance the overall design. It has subtle and targeted lighting and features vertical industrial styled radiators in graphite grey. French doors open into the garden and a seating area amply provides room for a dining table and chairs. With windows or doors on three walls, this light, well-proportioned room, ticks all the boxes for creatively using the hub of the house, as a relaxed, social area focused around mealtimes. The remaining ground floor rooms Leaving the kitchen the main hall can be re-entered and in a clockwise direction there are doors opening into a cloak room, dining room, lounge and study. This property is luxuriously equipped with en-suites to partner each bedroom and as with the downstairs cloakroom, is similarly fitted to a high specification with white sanitary ware, hard flooring and contemporary radiator. The large dining room overlooks the rear grounds and has a set of French doors. Likewise, the spacious lounge next door has two pairs of equidistant French doors on either side of a rustic fireplace, complete with gnarled wooden beam and recessed chimney breast. Windows provide dual aspects and create a lovely, light and airy room. The remaining room is the separate study, which is fitted with appropriate furniture for a desk area, storage and office appliances. It also has a fireplace, with wooden mantel and tiled hearth. It is worth noting that due to the number of reception rooms providing multiple functions, the dining room or study, could easily serve a different purpose. Whatever their use, they are ideally positioned within a few steps to the cloakroom and kitchen. The ascent to the galleried landing The carpeted staircase has partially exposed white painted steps that lead to the wonderful galleried landing above. From this position, the large apex window can be appreciated and around its base, an internal wooden balustrade creates a feature reminiscent of a minstrel’s gallery. The unhindered light floods along the landing leading to three of the double bedrooms. The rooms at the front of the house benefit from the additional space afforded by the dormer windows and two of them have balconies from which to appreciate the views. The prime suite is one of these and comes complete with a spacious bedroom, dressing room and five piece en-suite with roll top bath. Each bedroom is unique but similarly, tastefully decorated, with solid flooring, painted walls and the luxury of a partner en-suite. Spacious house, spacious garden The front, side and rear garden at some point in the course of the day enjoys the sun and the sweep of lawn along three sides extenuates the width of the plot. It is bordered by hedges and there are many idyllic, private places to sit, work, relax or play, with flower beds, a pond, paved areas and established trees. Covered patio spaces provide shade and outside retreats for entertaining, while a greenhouse and sheds accommodate tools and garden equipment. LOCALITY Elmesthorpe is a small village in central England, a region referred to as the East Midlands. It is situated approximately 9 miles south-west of Leicester’s city centre and approximately 28 miles south of Nottingham’s city centre. The village is in the LE9 postcode district and falls within the civil parish of the Blaby district of Leicestershire. It is situated to the south-west of the larger village of Earl Shilton, near to greater variety of amenities provided by the bustling town of Hinckley, (3 miles north-east) on the A47 road. The M69 is predominantly the swiftest link road to access the county’s motorway network including the M1 (junction 21, west towards Leicester Forest East). The M42 is south, heading towards Tamworth. Elmesthorpe is 89 miles north-west of London. There are railway stations in Hinkley, Narborough and Leicester, where the Midland Main Railway Line runs trains to London – Leicester to St Pancras - regularly. There are normally 70 trains running daily, to London, the fastest taking approximately an hour. The village has been inhabited from at least Roman times as there is evidence of Roman occupation within the parish. The parish church is dedicated to Saint Mary and was built in the 13th century. In 1485, it is thought King Richard III and his troops stayed in the partially ruined church for shelter on their march from Leicester to the Battle of Bosworth; with the king and his officers sheltering within the building, and the soldiers camping outside. Although falling into ruins by 1869 it was partially rebuilt on its foundations to a smaller scale. The present church occupies the east-end, while the west end of the church has been left in its original state. Elmesthorpe maintains all the charm and features associated with a rural location and several amenities including public houses and restaurants are in the village or close by: The Wentworth Arms public house, Restaurant Glen Watson or Oscar’s Lounge and Bar. Many serve meals and some provide a takeaway service. Elmesthorpe is 3 miles north-east of the town of Hinkley and 5 miles south-east of the historical centre of Market Bosworth. These towns offer a variety of amenities such as edge of town super stores or uniquely bespoke shops, restaurants, sports venues, public houses, cafes and parks. For an even greater variety of entertainment including theatres, the cosmopolitan city of Leicester with its diverse cultural influences is on hand. For those who prefer rural retreats Burbage ...

Sheiling House is a remarkable and immensely charming four-bedroom detached family home designed to be filled with life and enjoyment. Ringed by south Leicestershire’s open countryside on the edge of South Kilworth, this hidden gem unfurls over two acres, offering an extensive mature garden to the rear and a driveway with a lawn and double garage to the front. The interior is very open and spacious, with an interlinked bespoke kitchen and family room, two receptions and a hardwood conservatory, and four bright bedrooms (including two en suites) flowing around a stunning central butterfly staircase. Decorated with a fresh modern palette that combines warm neutral paintwork with tasteful wallpaper, plush carpets and hardwood floors, coved ceilings, wall-lights and lots of natural light throughout, the home emanates a cosy country feel despite its generous symmetrical proportions. Built in the 1990s, the house also had planning permission for a swimming pool and lapsed planning for a bedroom and en suite above the garage. The current owners have replaced all the windows and most of the external doors, installed a new oil tank within the last two years and replaced the septic tank with a waste processing unit and water drainage scheme. Quietly Commanding From a peaceful leafy road, pull through a five-bar gate onto a large in-and-out driveway, which curves around a lawn screened by neat hedgerows and a peppering of mature trees and shrubs. Another five-bar gate leads to a long, gravelled driveway to the side of the house, with more parking available in the integral double garage. Bushes and climbing plants soften the assertive double-fronted red brick exterior, finished with painted window frames to match the front entrance. Space to Breathe Step through into a bright porch with tiled flooring. Ahead, a striking second entrance door with raised panels, traditional knocker and inlaid stained-glass hints at the grandeur in the reception hallway – an exquisite mahogany butterfly staircase enriched with a fitted tartan runner. Tear your eyes away from this attractive central anticultural feature to notice the wide hardwood floor underfoot, subtle leaf-print wallpaper continuing to the first-floor galleried landing, and an array of wall lamps soothing the atmosphere. Just to your left, a walkthrough reveals an inner hall with integrated storage and access to a cloakroom with a stylish glass basin and a loo. Adjacent, you’ll find a carpeted study with a custom dual desk and two big windows with fitted blinds hinting at the greenery beyond. Opposite, a door links directly into the kitchen. Making Cherished Memories To the right of the hallway lies a massive living room flooded with light from windows to three aspects and part-glazed double doors to the terrace. A magnificent, ornately carved antique mantelpiece with a marble hearth and an open fire lies at the heart of the room. You can just imagine the whole family gathering here on rainy weekends or for seasonal celebrations, with ample play space for the kids on the carpet. Hidden behind the stairs, glazed double doors invite you into the family room, where the hardwood flooring continues, and sleek vertical radiators add style and warmth. A more relaxed and informal seating area, it nevertheless feels central to the action, separated from the kitchen only by a breakfast bar and with the conservatory just a set of glazed doors away. This is the natural place for family and guests to gather while you’re busy in the Alexander Lewis bespoke kitchen, which features underfloor heated Indian slate tiles – echoed in the utility and conservatory for comfort in the cooler months. Illuminated by recessed downlights, wooden Shaker-style cupboards and base cabinets with granite worktops face a matching central island with storage, a chrome power socket, and an integrated chopping board. There’s space for a range cooker with extractor hood above, a dishwasher, and a concealed fridge-freezer, plus you’ll find more granite-topped storage to the breakfast bar. Windows overlook the garden above a stainless-steel sink, while a glazed door encourages you to bring drinks through into the conservatory. Here, the striking Brazilian hardwood and brick structure beautifully frames the lush garden it opens onto via two sturdy double doors. Fitted blinds above cool you down in the summer, with help from a Rutland Conservatories ‘top hat’ ventilation system. Return to the kitchen and head through into a utility with worksurfaces and a sink, space for appliances, and integrated storage by the back door. You can also access the double garage from here – great for bringing home shopping on rainy days or returning from muddy country walks. Relax & Unwind Upstairs, four double bedrooms and a family bathroom converge onto a split-level galleried landing big enough for a study or library area. The tartan runner to the stairs flows seamlessly around the bannisters, creating a cosy meeting space brightened by a chandelier fitting and a large front window. It won’t be long before the youngest family members are zipping around on their way to and from bed, watched over perhaps by a string of family photographs and portraits. Pass the airing cupboard right of the stairs to enter a super-king-sized master suite. Here, silvery wallpaper and warm lighting suggest a dreamy woodland landscape to soften the vibrant country view through the inward-opening double doors. Recessed downlights illuminate a tiled en suite with a glass-screened shower over the bath, vanity basin unit with mirror, matching side cupboards and a loo. Bedroom four sits behind the master to the front of the house. A trio of dual-aspect windows adds a cheerful glow to the two-tone blue walls and neutral carpet, creating a lovely boy’s bedroom and play area. To the left of the stairs and opposite the master, you’ll find bedroom two – another fantastic carpeted double with sophisticated wallpaper and a bank of Shaker-style integrated floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. With an en suite shower room and a view of the garden, this bedroom would be ideal for teenagers and young adults in need of more space and privacy. The final bedroom to the front is yet another light-filled double with delightful upbeat décor and loads of room for wardrobes, drawers, or a dressing table. You can also access the loft from here via a hatch. Just ahead from the stairs is a contemporary family bathroom with high-quality laminate flooring and slate wall tiles. Beneath the window, soak away your cares in the claw-footed roll-top bath, which also features a handheld shower attachment. Alternatively, step up to a luxurious walk-in shower enclosure beside a conveniently placed chrome heated towel rail. A chic basin vanity unit and loo complete the suite. Private & Secluded On the site of a former smallholding, the two-acre plot on which the home sits begins to the rear with a generous paved terrace dotted with neatly trimmed shrubs. To one side, you’ll find a box-edged garden with raised beds for flowers or vegetables. Steps lead down from this amazing al fresco dining space onto a sweeping lawn thronged with flower and shrub beds and sheltering trees. Rest in the wooden gazebo and enjoy the view across to a long interlinking lawn separated from the main garden and side driveway by two gates and open fencing. Screened from view by trees is another patio area with a shed/workshop where you can store gardening equipment and tools. With nothing but fields between the garden and the River Avon in the near distance, you and your loved ones will be treated to an ever-changing seasonal view from your back door. A Lovely Location The friendly village of South Kilworth is nestled in the Harborough district of south Leicestershire, close to several major towns and cities easily accessed via the M1/M6/A14. London Euston can be reached in 48 minutes from Rugby train station, or hop on at Market Harborough to arrive in London St Pancras in 55-minutes. A pub, butcher, village hall and a golf club with restaurant lie within walking distance, along with a playpark and two Ofsted rated ‘Good’ village primary schools. A fantastic range of independent schooling can be found in Rugby and scattered around the region, so you’ll never be short of choice when it comes to your children’s education. Further amenities such as a petrol station, post office, a café and tearoom, and more green spaces can be found in the adjoining village of North Kilworth. Meanwhile, the surrounding countryside provides miles of walks through woodland and along the canal or the marina. Features: - Garage - Garden
