Distinct and well maintained The Beeches is a bespoke detached house, located with similarly prestigious properties along a quiet, leafy cul de sac in the Leicestershire village of Broughton Astley. It is a large, family home with four bedrooms and two reception rooms, providing spacious accommodation and a landscaped garden bordering open countryside. Positioned at the head of a wide drive and front garden, it has a back drop of shrubs and mature trees. Presenting well with newly rendered walls and facia boards, a distinctive feature of the property is the intersecting hip roof structure. This provides the depth required for the front elevation to have a singular parabolic arch, providing a covered porch before entry into the house. Fitted with wall lights on the exterior and a ceiling fixture within, the recessed entrance has a tiled floor and a contemporary styled front door, with opaque glass panes at either side. It is not the only means of entry from the drive as the single garage – integral to the property on the far left – has a remotely operated door and can be opened on approach. Entry can be made through the garage into the utility room that runs along the side of the house and provides access into the kitchen. The third front entrance opens into the utility, providing a very practical route from the front to the back of the property, bypassing the main house. Originally constructed in 1961, the house has been the home of the present owners for fourteen years and in that time they have carried out extensive renovations and implemented changes to create a distinctly unique property that hits all the marks for contemporary living. This is a substantial residence in a fantastic location that has been maintained to a high standard. The tour beckons Once beyond the porch, the first reception room has a boot room on the right for coats and shoes with a small window to the front of the property. The first reception room has multiple functions, serving as a hall and dining room and allowing access to the lounge on the right and the kitchen and downstairs bedroom suite on the left. Within this space, there is a welcoming sense of light and airiness. A focal point is the open tread staircase in the far corner of the room. This sweeps past a large window overlooking the back garden and ascends to the first floor. Constructed in glass with medium oak handrail, newel post and carpeted treads, it is a noticeable feature and adds further to the interior style of the house: modern radiators, contemporary lighting, white panelled doors and a complimentary palette of paint used on bare walls, many having been recently plastered. Another major feature in this room is the bifolding doors that divide or unite the dining room and lounge together. A second set in the lounge open into the rear garden and together they work wonderfully well to allow the combined space to be opened up to cater for larger scale entertaining. The lounge is a spacious, relaxing room, beautifully proportioned and bright, with windows and bifolding doors presenting a dual aspect. Featuring a log burner recessed within a lined chimney and elegant stone fireplace, this carpeted room has been modernised with flush ceiling light fixtures and bare, painted walls that allow a neutral canvas for multiple arrangements of furniture. Everything in the reception rooms has been chosen to provide crisp architectural lines and an atmosphere for modern, flexible living. Carpets and light fixtures are included in the sale of the property. If we return to the hall, we can now enter the galley kitchen, where the line of sight includes the utility room beyond. Practical and streamlined The kitchen is beautifully practical and tastefully stylish. An efficient, cleverly designed selection of floor units has maximised the space providing ample worktop provision and storage. Featuring medium oak cabinetry, stone flooring and wall tiling, the open shelving and integrated appliances – dishwasher, oven and hob with extractor fan, and fridge freezer - create a cohesive and seamless look. In addition to this, the utility room practically doubles this utilitarian area. There is plumbing for laundry appliances and extra worktops, shelving and storage in a large cupboard next to the rear entrance that opens into the garden. As already mentioned, the garage can be accessed from this room. The utility room has been refurbished with a new roof, plastered walls and hard flooring. A bedroom suite on the ground floor The ground floor bedroom is situated at the back of the house, with views over the garden. This spacious double bedroom has integrated bedroom furniture supplied by Sharps and an en-suite, contemporary bathroom. The en-suite is completely tiled and has a heated towel rail, walk in shower, basin and toilet. There are three further bedrooms on the first level, two of which are carpeted whilst the third has exposed floorboards. They are all quite distinctive, with views to different aspects of the grounds and beyond. The largest double bedroom has its own cloak room, with basin and toilet. The family bathroom provides the second bathing facility in this property and consists of a bath with shower fixture and screen, heated towel rail, toilet and basin. All fixtures and fittings, suites and tiles, are coordinating and have been fitted and maintained to a high standard throughout this house. The green spaces The Beeches benefits from being within walking distance of many village amenities and an even shorter walk to views of the open countryside….to the end of the garden in fact! The front garden has been landscaped to enable low maintenance and the rear garden had a patio and gazebo constructed in 2021. It has been fitted with power, heat and provides a sheltered hideaway to enjoy the peace of the private garden. Broughton Astley LE9 Broughton Astley is advantageously situated in the south of Leicestershire. ‘Advantageously’ because it is only 9 miles from Leicester’s city centre, 6 miles east of Hinckley and about 14 miles from Coventry. The M1 (junction 20, south, near to Lutterworth and junction 21, north), M6 and M69 maximise the potential for travel by road from this central location. There is also the train station at Narborough, less than 5 miles away for those who need a more distant commute, with trains running regularly to London St Pancras International. The bustling village is part of the Harborough district of Leicestershire and although it has existed for centuries, this large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, education and leisure amenities. Broughton Astley benefits from having a local doctor’s practice and a dentist’s practice. There are an array of shops, restaurants, cafes and parks – Broughton Astley Park has an adult outside gym, a skateboard ramp and open spaces for team games - with the additional benefits provided by a local chemist, post office and library. St Mary’s is the parish church and can boast of being officially referenced as far back as 1220. The locality combines the convenience of such things as supermarkets and the Broughton Astley Leisure Centre, with the valuable appeal of nature reserves and bridle paths. There is something for everyone, whether it be a night class run through the Thomas Estley Community College or a pre-school playgroup. For those requiring primary schools, there are three: Orchard Primary School, Hallbrook Primary School and Old Mill Primary School.

A beautiful home, in beautiful surroundings Quietly distinguished Nestled in a quiet location without any through traffic and within a conservation area in North Kilworth, this spacious property has been nurtured and styled by its present owners of ten years to create a family home that sits comfortably within its beautiful surroundings. Here, you will find generously proportioned rooms in a house of quality, size and contemporary style. This is an ideally positioned five bedroom detached property in excellent condition, with an electrically operated, double garage and separate gym. The Pines is presented with a wide - ample space for turning or parking vehicles - well maintained front drive and is surrounded by a backdrop of mature trees and gardens. The drive, edged with lawns and planted beds, sweeps to the garage and leads across paving to a tiled-covered, front porch entrance, where a log store adds further to the charm of the leafy surroundings. There are wooden gates to both sides of the house, with paths leading to the rear garden. Originally constructed in 1970, the house is built in traditional red brick, with an open gabled roof, chimney stack and multi paned georgian style windows. It has been carefully extended and improved with innovations, including its cream, wooden effect window frames and doors by Evolution Storm, chosen for their high energy rating and efficiency. The property is fitted with 6.24kw of solar panels on the south facing roof and stores generated electricity within the 8kw battery housed in the garage. An EV charger has been installed. Across the threshold As we enter through the limestone tiled porch at the front of the house, a spacious and welcoming hall is the starting point for our tour. The foyer and entrance hall reflect the style and decoration of the home throughout. All the reception rooms can be accessed from the hall. It presents well with a carpeted staircase, with oak spindles and white newel post, rising to the light filled galleried landing above. Internal doors have been replaced with oak panelled doors, complementing the hard flooring, painted walls and covered radiator. It is decorated in a neutral, contemporary palette of colours. Subtle additional touches such as the dado rail, wrought iron window latches and door furniture all add to the overall impression and signal to the observant viewer that this home has been cared for and well maintained. On entry the first door to the left opens into the downstairs cloakroom. At the front of the house, the large cloakroom has been renovated and comprises of a toilet, hand basin and a large cupboard with sliding doors for storage of coats and shoes. There are three separate reception rooms and kitchen, leading from the hall: study, open plan living area and lounge. The study looks out towards the front garden and is a beautifully proportioned space fit for this function. It could easily be used for other purposes. If a ground floor bedroom was required, it is ideally positioned next to the cloakroom. Across the hall, the lounge has a bay window that overlooks the front of the property, internal wooden bi-fold doors opening into the open plan living room and it has solid wooden oak flooring. The chimney breast features a white limestone surround with mantel and polished slate hearth, and houses a Stovax wood burner. The design here permits flexibility if maximum space is required for entertaining without removing the option of a cosier, separate room by closing the adjoining doors. Open plan living The utility room, kitchen and open plan living room, cover half of the generous ground floor space of The Pines. The original structure was extended in 2015 across its south wall to create a striking area with vaulted ceiling and impressive oak beams. Essentially free flowing from left to right, there is a high specification fitted kitchen featuring De Dietrich induction hob, extraction fan and double Neff oven, integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer, within a chic collection of cream units, topped with contrasting black worktops. The existing central heating system was replaced at the same time with a black enamelled Rayburn which besides heating the house and providing hot water, adorns the kitchen and gives another cooking facility: the present owner recommends it particularly for Sunday roasts and Christmas dinner! In addition, underfloor heating was fitted in the kitchen and open plan areas, beneath the tumbled limestone floor tiles. A Charnwood wood burner was installed in the far wall and the space has been divided by modular furniture into zones with a distinct purpose: dining room and sitting room. Both have superb views and access into the garden through two sets of bi-folding doors that open onto the decking areas and patios. The bi-folds are Evolution Contemporary Aluminium doors in anthracite grey The utility room was refurbished and replaced in 2018 and here there are fitted cupboards, work surfaces, an additional sink and plumbing for laundry appliances. The back stable door entrance is here too. The galleried landing and bedrooms From the top of the L shaped staircase, a spacious galleried landing exposes the arrangement of doors leading to a large family bathroom, five bedrooms and an en-suite. All the bedrooms are spacious, mostly double and have integral wardrobes. Situated at the front of the house, the master bedroom has a separate en-suite, with white fixtures and walk in, Metro tiled walls, shower and a heated towel rail. Original bathroom accessories have been replaced with Downton Abbey fixtures and fittings. The property has been decorated extensively throughout and this level is beautifully contemporary, with muted, coordinating colour schemes. The family bathroom has a white suite with additional bath, middle tap fixture and hand held shower. This property has three bathing facilities – cloakroom, ensuite and family bathroom - similarly fitted to a high specification with hard flooring and contemporary heated towel rails and white sanitary ware. And the cherry on the cake The south facing rear garden enjoys the sun for a high proportion of the day and the area certainly brings a fantastic dimension to life at The Pines, being landscaped and filled with established trees, shrubs, vegetable beds and plants of many kinds, including those preferring the cooler banks of the stream at the bottom of the garden. A greenhouse, lawn and patio areas surround the koi carp pond, providing further seating options to relax in. The present owners utilise a Tuin log cabin as a gym and storage is provided by an extension of this along with a large shed which is attached to the double garage. The Pines is an imposing property. It has been maintained and improved to a high standard, is situated in a superb location and ticks all the boxes for a modern home.

‘A premium home in a beautiful location.’ Stand and admire Originally built in 2021, and offered to the market with no upward chain, The Paddocks is a prestigious five bedroom - three with an ensuite - detached property in a beautiful location overlooking open countryside. It has a generous open plan kitchen dining area, utility room, boot room, study, two separate reception rooms, an integrated double garage, cloakroom and a separate family bathroom. It has been designed to befittingly match the plot of one and a half acres of land it complements and is filled with wonderful features that add immensely to the value and appeal of the residence. Being spaciously designed, luxuriously fitted and interiorly decorated with a contemporary palette of neutral colours and textured materials, the opportunity to own this house and make it become ‘home’, is surely desirable for any seeking a premium property with beautiful location. As the electric gates open and the house and front grounds are revealed, the initial perception is sure to impress. This property is strikingly well presented and as the adage testifies, the beauty is in the detail. It has been designed to merge traditional English country house features with contemporary attributes: the proportions of the building, the sweeping drive, the varying angles of the roof and the feature chimney, establish the style and quality of the entire property. The tour begins The Paddocks is approached from a private shared drive on Station Road and is entered through a secure, remotely controlled entrance that opens onto a large expanse of shingled drive, stretching across the front and to the side of the house. A broad selection of established trees provide privacy, interest and an attractive barrier from the road. At the furthest point of the house there is a double integrated garage, with plenty of space for several vehicles and turning on the drive. A low brick wall, two lawns and a paved path leading to the covered porch and main entrance, are immediately at the front. Fences at either side of the house preserve privacy to the gardens and grounds at the rear. Greeted with a neutral palette of colour and light The translucent glass panelled front door is under a covered porch featuring naturally stained timbers and the windows are painted aluminium frames with stone ledges. Once inside, the striking facets of the interior decoration provide a neutral canvas: predominantly white, with medium oak and glass. These design aspects will reappear throughout the house and provide a coordinated and contemporary feel to the entire property. The light and airy hall sets the standard with a modern staircase, herringbone patterned floor tiles, and medium oak tongue and groove doors, with brushed steel accessories. Oak and transparent glass lead the eye to the galleried landing on the first floor, where light flows through one of several skylights and the carpet runner is followed in parallel with subtle floor level lighting. A cloakroom and store are positioned under the stairs and doors open to reception rooms on all sides: clockwise opening to the dining room, open plan kitchen/diner, lounge and finally, study. Contemporary cohesion and space The Paddocks has been fitted with underfloor heating and has solid floors throughout the ground floor. It benefits from lighting that can be altered to suit the mood and occasion. The dining room is one of several entertaining areas and is generously proportioned to easily hold several large pieces of furniture. It has a window overlooking the front drive. Across the hall the study has been fitted out to suit its purpose with hard flooring and space for storage and technical equipment. It is also facing the front of the property and is next door to the lounge. In the lounge there is a large multi fuel burner. This creates an impressive focal point. The fireplace is subtly simplistic, with slate tile hearth, exposed beam mantel and rustic brick supporting columns. This spacious and stylish room has the characteristic herringbone patterned hard flooring and looks out to the south facing garden and beyond, accessible through bi folding door to the patio. From the garden there are wide open views over the natural landscape of farmland and trees. An entertainment hub The generous proportion of all the rooms in The Paddocks has followed the blue print for contemporary design, allowing the natural geography and space to permit large scale entertainment or cosy corners of relaxation. The kitchen epitomises this. This very large room is multi-functional; food preparation, dining and relaxation. Under a vaulted ceiling, where additional light floods onto the central island below from skylights, this entertainment hub has a second set of bi folding doors so is a perfectly configured for the ebb and flow of people. Whether you are hosting a major entertainment event or enjoying a quieter occasion, the versatility of this house affords you the luxury of all options with ease. The natural materials and colours highlighted in the reception rooms continue here with large square floor tiles, white marble work surfaces and a mixture of Shaker style cabinetry, in contrasting white, light and dark grey to dramatic effect. Multiple wall and floor units provide ample, streamlined storage space. The central island feature and subtle lighting at floor, wall and ceiling level make this kitchen totally practical yet immediately striking. The integrated appliances bought in 2021 and included in the sale are an induction hob, double oven, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. The utility room immediately next door, provides additional storage, another sink, and plumbing for laundry appliances. There is also a door from the pantry leading to an entry into the rear garden and another allowing internal access to the double garage. Bring a glass of something fizzy and appreciate the balcony views The first floor consists of a carpeted landing leading to the spacious primary suite of bedroom and ensuite, another four double bedrooms, two with ensuite bathing and finally, a large family bathroom. The spacious bedrooms have unique features dependent on size and shape. They all feature solid flooring and some have Velux windows in the elevated parts of the slanting walls and two of them, including the master room, have Juliette balconies overlooking the amazing views into the south facing garden and beyond. They are all tastefully decorated with coordinating fixtures and white painted walls. From the rear windows and balconies, the private garden and the land beyond can be totally appreciated and then experienced by taking a stroll around the grounds. The garden has raised circular and rectangular beds containing flowering shrubs and plants, amidst a large lawn that is divided with an open trellised fence leading to the paddock beyond. Private areas for relaxation are ample here. There is a patio area directly outside the house and a further paved, covered space suitable for barbeques. Luxurious bathing The family bathroom is fitted with a double vanity unit with separate shower and bath. There are heated towel rails and illuminated mirrors. Each ensuite has a walk in shower similarly fitted with quality sanitary ware to the highest specification. These rooms have been decorated with distinctive tiling on the floor and walls. The primary suite has an ensuite that includes a double vanity unit, walk in shower and separate shower facility to the side of the bath. All of the fixtures and fittings in all the bathing areas of the house have been tastefully selected for their contemporary design, quality and fitted to high specifications. They all impress with the continuing theme of neutrality and stunning attention to detail. And best not to forget… The Paddocks has been fitted with an air source heat pump and solar panels. It is a property that has been resourced and maintained to the highest specification and standard, and is still within its 10 year NHBC - National House Building Council - building warranty. LOCALITY Elmesthorpe LE9 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.

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.

A beautiful home, in beautiful surroundings Quietly distinguished Nestled in a quiet location without any through traffic and within a conservation area in North Kilworth, this spacious property has been nurtured and styled by its present owners of ten years to create a family home that sits comfortably within its beautiful surroundings. Here, you will find generously proportioned rooms in a house of quality, size and contemporary style. This is an ideally positioned five bedroom detached property in excellent condition, with an electrically operated, double garage and separate gym. The Pines is presented with a wide - ample space for turning or parking vehicles - well maintained front drive and is surrounded by a backdrop of mature trees and gardens. The drive, edged with lawns and planted beds, sweeps to the garage and leads across paving to a tiled-covered, front porch entrance, where a log store adds further to the charm of the leafy surroundings. There are wooden gates to both sides of the house, with paths leading to the rear garden. Originally constructed in 1970, the house is built in traditional red brick, with an open gabled roof, chimney stack and multi paned georgian style windows. It has been carefully extended and improved with innovations, including its cream, wooden effect window frames and doors by Evolution Storm, chosen for their high energy rating and efficiency. The property is fitted with 6.24kw of solar panels on the south facing roof and stores generated electricity within the 8kw battery housed in the garage. An EV charger has been installed. Across the threshold As we enter through the limestone tiled porch at the front of the house, a spacious and welcoming hall is the starting point for our tour. The foyer and entrance hall reflect the style and decoration of the home throughout. All the reception rooms can be accessed from the hall. It presents well with a carpeted staircase, with oak spindles and white newel post, rising to the light filled galleried landing above. Internal doors have been replaced with oak panelled doors, complementing the hard flooring, painted walls and covered radiator. It is decorated in a neutral, contemporary palette of colours. Subtle additional touches such as the dado rail, wrought iron window latches and door furniture all add to the overall impression and signal to the observant viewer that this home has been cared for and well maintained. On entry the first door to the left opens into the downstairs cloakroom. At the front of the house, the large cloakroom has been renovated and comprises of a toilet, hand basin and a large cupboard with sliding doors for storage of coats and shoes. There are three separate reception rooms and kitchen, leading from the hall: study, open plan living area and lounge. The study looks out towards the front garden and is a beautifully proportioned space fit for this function. It could easily be used for other purposes. If a ground floor bedroom was required, it is ideally positioned next to the cloakroom. Across the hall, the lounge has a bay window that overlooks the front of the property, internal wooden bi-fold doors opening into the open plan living room and it has solid wooden oak flooring. The chimney breast features a white limestone surround with mantel and polished slate hearth, and houses a Stovax wood burner. The design here permits flexibility if maximum space is required for entertaining without removing the option of a cosier, separate room by closing the adjoining doors. Open plan living The utility room, kitchen and open plan living room, cover half of the generous ground floor space of The Pines. The original structure was extended in 2015 across its south wall to create a striking area with vaulted ceiling and impressive oak beams. Essentially free flowing from left to right, there is a high specification fitted kitchen featuring De Dietrich induction hob, extraction fan and double Neff oven, integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer, within a chic collection of cream units, topped with contrasting black worktops. The existing central heating system was replaced at the same time with a black enamelled Rayburn which besides heating the house and providing hot water, adorns the kitchen and gives another cooking facility: the present owner recommends it particularly for Sunday roasts and Christmas dinner! In addition, underfloor heating was fitted in the kitchen and open plan areas, beneath the tumbled limestone floor tiles. A Charnwood wood burner was installed in the far wall and the space has been divided by modular furniture into zones with a distinct purpose: dining room and sitting room. Both have superb views and access into the garden through two sets of bi-folding doors that open onto the decking areas and patios. The bi-folds are Evolution Contemporary Aluminium doors in anthracite grey The utility room was refurbished and replaced in 2018 and here there are fitted cupboards, work surfaces, an additional sink and plumbing for laundry appliances. The back stable door entrance is here too. The galleried landing and bedrooms From the top of the L shaped staircase, a spacious galleried landing exposes the arrangement of doors leading to a large family bathroom, five bedrooms and an en-suite. All the bedrooms are spacious, mostly double and have integral wardrobes. Situated at the front of the house, the master bedroom has a separate en-suite, with white fixtures and walk in, Metro tiled walls, shower and a heated towel rail. Original bathroom accessories have been replaced with Downton Abbey fixtures and fittings. The property has been decorated extensively throughout and this level is beautifully contemporary, with muted, coordinating colour schemes. The family bathroom has a white suite with additional bath, middle tap fixture and hand held shower. This property has three bathing facilities – cloakroom, ensuite and family bathroom - similarly fitted to a high specification with hard flooring and contemporary heated towel rails and white sanitary ware. And the cherry on the cake The south facing rear garden enjoys the sun for a high proportion of the day and the area certainly brings a fantastic dimension to life at The Pines, being landscaped and filled with established trees, shrubs, vegetable beds and plants of many kinds, including those preferring the cooler banks of the stream at the bottom of the garden. A greenhouse, lawn and patio areas surround the koi carp pond, providing further seating options to relax in. The present owners utilise a Tuin log cabin as a gym and storage is provided by an extension of this along with a large shed which is attached to the double garage. The Pines is an imposing property. It has been maintained and improved to a high standard, is situated in a superb location and ticks all the boxes for a modern home. North Kilworth is a village in central England, a region referred to as the East Midlands. It is situated towards the southernmost extremity of Leicestershire being only 14 miles from Leicester’s city centre. It is in the LE17 postcode district and is a civil parish. It falls within the district council of Harborough and is within easy reach of larger towns such as Oadby, Market Harborough, Syston, Lutterworth, Uppingham, Oakham and Hinkley, all providing a variety of amenities such as edge of town super stores or uniquely bespoke shops. Largely bypassed by the A4304 road, the village is only minutes away from the M1 (junction 20, south, near to Lutterworth and junction 21, north) The M6, M69, A5, and A14 maximise the potential for speedier travel by road from this central Midland location, all being within five miles.

There are normally 70 trains running daily to London, the fastest taking only 1 hour and 12 minutes. There are no main shops in North Kilworth but a local petrol station serves basic amenities. There is a post office and store in the next village of Husbands Bosworth which is just over a mile away. The White Lion public house serves home cooked foods and a range of locally produced ales. There is easy access to wider open spaces, with nature reserves and bridal paths within easy reach, including the walk along the Grand Union Canal leading to the marina. Kilworth Springs Golf Club, Kilworth House Hotel and the Outdoor Theatre attract people to the vicinity, as does the North Kilworth Wharf Marina. There is an annual barbeque on the Millennium Green and other community village events throughout the year. As with many communities, people are interested to share points of communal interest and the North Kilworth monthly newsletter will be a good starting point for those new to the area. There is a local primary school, St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School and secondary provision in Lutterworth and Market Harborough. Over a wider area there are several educational options; nursery, primary and secondary. There are also private establishments in the county offering bordering facilities.

Distinct and well maintained The Beeches is a bespoke detached house, located with similarly prestigious properties along a quiet, leafy cul de sac in the Leicestershire village of Broughton Astley. It is a large, family home with four bedrooms and two reception rooms, providing spacious accommodation and a landscaped garden bordering open countryside. Positioned at the head of a wide drive and front garden, it has a back drop of shrubs and mature trees. Presenting well with newly rendered walls and facia boards, a distinctive feature of the property is the intersecting hip roof structure. This provides the depth required for the front elevation to have a singular parabolic arch, providing a covered porch before entry into the house. Fitted with wall lights on the exterior and a ceiling fixture within, the recessed entrance has a tiled floor and a contemporary styled front door, with opaque glass panes at either side. It is not the only means of entry from the drive as the single garage – integral to the property on the far left – has a remotely operated door and can be opened on approach. Entry can be made through the garage into the utility room that runs along the side of the house and provides access into the kitchen. The third front entrance opens into the utility, providing a very practical route from the front to the back of the property, bypassing the main house. Originally constructed in 1961, the house has been the home of the present owners for fourteen years and in that time they have carried out extensive renovations and implemented changes to create a distinctly unique property that hits all the marks for contemporary living. This is a substantial residence in a fantastic location that has been maintained to a high standard. The tour beckons Once beyond the porch, the first reception room has a boot room on the right for coats and shoes with a small window to the front of the property. The first reception room has multiple functions, serving as a hall and dining room and allowing access to the lounge on the right and the kitchen and downstairs bedroom suite on the left. Within this space, there is a welcoming sense of light and airiness. A focal point is the open tread staircase in the far corner of the room. This sweeps past a large window overlooking the back garden and ascends to the first floor. Constructed in glass with medium oak handrail, newel post and carpeted treads, it is a noticeable feature and adds further to the interior style of the house: modern radiators, contemporary lighting, white panelled doors and a complimentary palette of paint used on bare walls, many having been recently plastered. Another major feature in this room is the bifolding doors that divide or unite the dining room and lounge together. A second set in the lounge open into the rear garden and together they work wonderfully well to allow the combined space to be opened up to cater for larger scale entertaining. The lounge is a spacious, relaxing room, beautifully proportioned and bright, with windows and bifolding doors presenting a dual aspect. Featuring a log burner recessed within a lined chimney and elegant stone fireplace, this carpeted room has been modernised with flush ceiling light fixtures and bare, painted walls that allow a neutral canvas for multiple arrangements of furniture. Everything in the reception rooms has been chosen to provide crisp architectural lines and an atmosphere for modern, flexible living. Carpets and light fixtures are included in the sale of the property. If we return to the hall, we can now enter the galley kitchen, where the line of sight includes the utility room beyond. Practical and streamlined The kitchen is beautifully practical and tastefully stylish. An efficient, cleverly designed selection of floor units has maximised the space providing ample worktop provision and storage. Featuring medium oak cabinetry, stone flooring and wall tiling, the open shelving and integrated appliances – dishwasher, oven and hob with extractor fan, and fridge freezer - create a cohesive and seamless look. In addition to this, the utility room practically doubles this utilitarian area. There is plumbing for laundry appliances and extra worktops, shelving and storage in a large cupboard next to the rear entrance that opens into the garden. As already mentioned, the garage can be accessed from this room. The utility room has been refurbished with a new roof, plastered walls and hard flooring. A bedroom suite on the ground floor The ground floor bedroom is situated at the back of the house, with views over the garden. This spacious double bedroom has integrated bedroom furniture supplied by Sharps and an en-suite, contemporary bathroom. The en-suite is completely tiled and has a heated towel rail, walk in shower, basin and toilet. There are three further bedrooms on the first level, two of which are carpeted whilst the third has exposed floorboards. They are all quite distinctive, with views to different aspects of the grounds and beyond. The largest double bedroom has its own cloak room, with basin and toilet. The family bathroom provides the second bathing facility in this property and consists of a bath with shower fixture and screen, heated towel rail, toilet and basin. All fixtures and fittings, suites and tiles, are coordinating and have been fitted and maintained to a high standard throughout this house. The green spaces The Beeches benefits from being within walking distance of many village amenities and an even shorter walk to views of the open countryside….to the end of the garden in fact! The front garden has been landscaped to enable low maintenance and the rear garden had a patio and gazebo constructed in 2021. It has been fitted with power, heat and provides a sheltered hideaway to enjoy the peace of the private garden. Broughton Astley LE9 Broughton Astley is advantageously situated in the south of Leicestershire. ‘Advantageously’ because it is only 9 miles from Leicester’s city centre, 6 miles east of Hinckley and about 14 miles from Coventry. The M1 (junction 20, south, near to Lutterworth and junction 21, north), M6 and M69 maximise the potential for travel by road from this central location. There is also the train station at Narborough, less than 5 miles away for those who need a more distant commute, with trains running regularly to London St Pancras International. The bustling village is part of the Harborough district of Leicestershire and although it has existed for centuries, this large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, education and leisure amenities. Broughton Astley benefits from having a local doctor’s practice and a dentist’s practice. There are an array of shops, restaurants, cafes and parks – Broughton Astley Park has an adult outside gym, a skateboard ramp and open spaces for team games - with the additional benefits provided by a local chemist, post office and library. St Mary’s is the parish church and can boast of being officially referenced as far back as 1220. The locality combines the convenience of such things as supermarkets and the Broughton Astley Leisure Centre, with the valuable appeal of nature reserves and bridle paths. There is something for everyone, whether it be a night class run through the Thomas Estley Community College or a pre-school playgroup. For those requiring primary schools, there are three: Orchard Primary School, Hallbrook Primary School and Old Mill Primary School. The Office for Standards in Education - OFSTED – is best researched to provide a comprehensive review of currently rated standards of practice for all educational providers in the vicinity.

Convenient location. Hillcrest House is on the outskirts of the popular village of Desford and is in an elevated position amongst other period properties along Peckleton Lane. Originally built in 1911, it retains many Edwardian features –sash box windows, chimney stack, panelling and high ceilings, decorated with picture rails and cornicing – that merge tastefully with renovations and extensions applied by previous owners. Amongst the most recent, a damp proof procedure and a new roof – fitted in February 2024 and under guarantee – coupled with graphite grey replacement windows and white rendered walls that give Hillcrest a distinctly contemporary appearance. The detached house is amidst a wraparound garden and its generous plot has been planted and landscaped to provide privacy and interest. Hillcrest has an established quality echoing its original structural characteristics but a freshness that reflects current trends. From the front and on two further sides, the house is boarded by deep hedges. Shrubbery and a lawn edge the generously proportioned gravel drive turning off the Lane. It is large enough for several parked vehicles and is shaped for ease of access and turning. The drive leads to a separate double garage and workshop - adjacent to the main house - with paths leading to the sides and recessed front door. Beyond the ornate wrought iron gates, the drive continues between the garage and house to a further dry standing area surrounded by outbuildings. These consist of a coal house and equestrian facilities: stable and tack room. The house has a traditional hall, with doors opening into two similar sized reception rooms. The first is possibly better suited to being the lounge, with the second positioned closer to the kitchen and therefore easily serving as a dining room, snug or informal living room. A combination fitted kitchen and utility, was completed in autumn 2024 and with a ground floor cloakroom and a generous provision for storage, completes the ground floor. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom. The tour begins. Through a recessed doorway, the house opens into a hall. Here there is a herringboned blocked wooden floor, where the open tread, white painted staircase can be seen ascending to the first floor. It has a matching wallpaper motif on the stair tread continuing to the landing, with an open space beneath for coats and shoes. From first glance, the wall panelling, cornicing and multi glass panes in the front door, provide an elegant reminder of the period in which this house was first constructed. There are several doors opening from the hall downstairs and the first on the right, is the lounge. Like its sister room next door, both reception rooms have canted bay windows, original panelled interior doors and door furniture, and are carpeted. The lounge is particularly well lit, possessing two windows, high ceilings with a picture rail and chimney breast housing a log burner upon a bare brick hearth, with tiles and oak mantel. Once more into the hall and through to the living room, this room provides access to the kitchen and a very generous storage room to the left. Benefitting from all the charming period features found in the lounge, including a second log burner, this room provides space and versatility of function. It could easily serve as a playroom, as the opened adjoining door would permit monitoring of younger family members from the neighbouring kitchen. A brand new kitchen The Kitchen is large, utilitarian and stylish, providing a contemporary and practical arrangement of storage and work top spaces with coordinating wall and floor cupboards. Integrated appliances are arranged on three sides – oven range with extractor fan, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine - with a sink under one of the two windows. Designed using a neutral palette of wall tiles, cabinetry and surfaces, the room is fitted to surround a space that easily holds a large table with chairs: this has been purposefully designed to be the hub of the house and ticks all those boxes. A central opaque glass panelled interior door at the furthest end of the kitchen, opens into a separate lobby. Directly opposite is the back door and on the right a store room, to the left the downstairs cloakroom. The cloak room is fitted with a white toilet and basin. The first floor beckons. There are four bedrooms accessible from the landing featuring the dormer window at the top of the stairs. They are distinctive and well maintained, with views to different aspects of the surrounding gardens and beyond. The primary bedroom overlooks the front of the property towards the drive and lane. There is a family bathroom and like the downstairs separate cloak room and has white fittings. In particular, it is fitted with tiled areas, a heated towel rail, toilet, basin and bath, with shower over the bath. The bathing facilities share similar design features and provide consistency throughout the property. Into the garden The surrounding gardens have hedges, shrubbery, established trees and plants for all seasons. There are lawns and a partitioned patio area, with various places to position garden furniture to gain sun or shade. Desford LE9 Desford is a village situated in the south-west of Leicestershire, benefitting from all the merits of its countryside location while also being close to motorway and rail networks that crisscross this east Midlands region. It is only seven miles west from Leicester’s city centre, with its multi-cultural restaurants, theatres, museums, galleries, rich retail selection and attractions such as the King Richard III exhibition. From Desford, the closest motorway links are the M1 and M69 toward Enderby. There are train stations at Rugby for links to Birmingham and Narborough for links to Leicester, with trains running regularly from there to London St Pancras International. East Midlands Airport (EMB) and Birmingham Airport (BHX) are the closest airports. Desford or ‘Deor’s Ford’ was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 but is possibly of Anglo-Saxon origin, being based on a significant hill 400 feet above sea level. St Martin’s parish church dates from the late thirteenth century and the village centre has a selection of Grade II listed buildings including a timber framed manor house and service buildings from the 1600’s. The Baptist Church on Chapel Lane was constructed in 1866. All combine to mark the centuries that have passed in Desford, including the present development of homes. The original settlement was based around the open fields system of agriculture predating the Norman Conquest. In 1767 the Enclosure Act forced the predominantly farming community to become invested with industrial economics, namely framework knitting. Then, with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, came the railway. A railway station was built linking established lines to larger towns and cities. It was closed to passengers in 1964 but continued to be used for freight including the transportation of coal from the Desford Pit until it too closed in 1984. Members of the Desford Historical Society have erected a half winding wheel on Lindridge Lane as a permanent reminder of the era and today Caterpillar Inc. are a significant employer in the area, having repurposed the old Desford aerodrome. Today, the bustling village is part of the Harborough district of Leicestershire and is within a half hour drive of Enderby, Kirby Muxloe, Market Bosworth and Kirkby Mallory. Although it has existed for centuries, this large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, (Sport in Desford Clubhouse with new Scout hut and tennis courts) education and leisure amenities. There are an array of shops, a library, cafes, a pharmacy and a surgery, with several parks and a reputation for equestrian pursuits. Public houses include The Lancaster close to the old railway station and the Bluebell Inn in the village centre. For more details this site may help: https:// ... /> For those requiring primary schools, Desford has its own: Desford Primary School. Wider afield secondary education can be found in Market Bosworth, Countesthorpe, and Lutterworth or at Leicester Grammar.

Once more into the hall and through to the living room, this room provides access to the kitchen and a very generous storage room to the left. Benefitting from all the charming period features found in the lounge, including a second log burner, this room provides space and versatility of function. It could easily serve as a playroom, as the opened adjoining door would permit monitoring of younger family members from the neighbouring kitchen. A brand new kitchen The Kitchen is large, utilitarian and stylish, providing a contemporary and practical arrangement of storage and work top spaces with coordinating wall and floor cupboards. Integrated appliances are arranged on three sides – oven range with extractor fan, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine - with a sink under one of the two windows. Designed using a neutral palette of wall tiles, cabinetry and surfaces, the room is fitted to surround a space that easily holds a large table with chairs: this has been purposefully designed to be the hub of the house and ticks all those boxes. A central opaque glass panelled interior door at the furthest end of the kitchen, opens into a separate lobby. Directly opposite is the back door and on the right a store room, to the left the downstairs cloakroom. The cloak room is fitted with a white toilet and basin. The first floor beckons. There are four bedrooms accessible from the landing featuring the dormer window at the top of the stairs. They are distinctive and well maintained, with views to different aspects of the surrounding gardens and beyond. The primary bedroom overlooks the front of the property towards the drive and lane. There is a family bathroom and like the downstairs separate cloak room and has white fittings. In particular, it is fitted with tiled areas, a heated towel rail, toilet, basin and bath, with shower over the bath. The bathing facilities share similar design features and provide consistency throughout the property. Into the garden The surrounding gardens have hedges, shrubbery, established trees and plants for all seasons. There are lawns and a partitioned patio area, with various places to position garden furniture to gain sun or shade. Desford LE9 Desford is a village situated in the south-west of Leicestershire, benefitting from all the merits of its countryside location while also being close to motorway and rail networks that crisscross this east Midlands region. It is only seven miles west from Leicester’s city centre, with its multi-cultural restaurants, theatres, museums, galleries, rich retail selection and attractions such as the King Richard III exhibition. From Desford, the closest motorway links are the M1 and M69 toward Enderby. There are train stations at Rugby for links to Birmingham and Narborough for links to Leicester, with trains running regularly from there to London St Pancras International. East Midlands Airport (EMB) and Birmingham Airport (BHX) are the closest airports. Desford or ‘Deor’s Ford’ was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 but is possibly of Anglo-Saxon origin, being based on a significant hill 400 feet above sea level. St Martin’s parish church dates from the late thirteenth century and the village centre has a selection of Grade II listed buildings including a timber framed manor house and service buildings from the 1600’s. The Baptist Church on Chapel Lane was constructed in 1866. All combine to mark the centuries that have passed in Desford, including the present development of homes. The original settlement was based around the open fields system of agriculture predating the Norman Conquest. In 1767 the Enclosure Act forced the predominantly farming community to become invested with industrial economics, namely framework knitting. Then, with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, came the railway. A railway station was built linking established lines to larger towns and cities. It was closed to passengers in 1964 but continued to be used for freight including the transportation of coal from the Desford Pit until it too closed in 1984. Members of the Desford Historical Society have erected a half winding wheel on Lindridge Lane as a permanent reminder of the era and today Caterpillar Inc. are a significant employer in the area, having repurposed the old Desford aerodrome. Today, the bustling village is part of the Harborough district of Leicestershire and is within a half hour drive of Enderby, Kirby Muxloe, Market Bosworth and Kirkby Mallory. Although it has existed for centuries, this large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, (Sport in Desford Clubhouse with new Scout hut and tennis courts) education and leisure amenities. There are an array of shops, a library, cafes, a pharmacy and a surgery, with several parks and a reputation for equestrian pursuits. Public houses include The Lancaster close to the old railway station and the Bluebell Inn in the village centre.

Wider afield secondary education can be found in Market Bosworth, Countesthorpe, and Lutterworth or at Leicester Grammar.
