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.

Waltham on the Wolds

USD 1,935,640

A quintessentially English country home, full of character and charm.’ situated in the wonderful South Leicestershire village of East Langton, Market Harborough, Leicestershire. A little of its history. This unique residence, is a bespoke property that has been lovingly nurtured from humble origins to become a large, fascinating house that consists of four cottages. Dating in main from the Georgian period, this charming building is in a commanding position on Main Street in the delightful village of East Langton, South Leicestershire. This property is formed from a whimsical collective that has evolved into an imposing home by joining 3 brick cottages and the original building. One of the cottages had been used as the village post office in the 1920s. The separate premises now seamlessly unite as one and fold around a private, secluded walled garden. This is a residence full of period charm and maturity, richly sprinkled with traits of quirkiness befitting the age of its existence. In 1946 one of the previous owners Mr Tom Best certainly helped put the Langtons on the map by owning a racehorse called Langton Abbot, which won the Lincolnshire Handicap. It was he who discovered paperwork stowed away in a desk he had purchased with other furniture from an earlier owner, Mr Bethal. This provided written evidence of the culinary speciality made within the walls. Apparently, thousands of pounds of mushrooms sourced from the locality were delivered and made into ketchup within the factory, which now serves as the kitchen. Respectfully, future owners are not obliged to continue with this culinary speciality but undoubtedly this provides a topic to include during any future dinner party! Today, this home is a sumptuous six bedroom detached residence, with three of the bedrooms having a separate en-suite, a family bathroom, kitchen diner and five reception rooms, including an orangery. Nestled around a wonderful cottage garden that compliments the age and nature of the building, the house has been sympathetically designed to richly complement its rural location. It is adorned with luxurious fixtures and fittings befitting the vision carried by the current owners who have created a ‘quintessentially English’ home of distinction. You are assured of a warm welcome As we enter the main house directly from Main Street, the Victorian bay windows are at either side of a traditional entrance porch, where a period doorbell and name plaque herald the guest into an entrance hall with a stone flagged floor and stained-glass windows. This leads to the Georgian part of the house. The standard and presentation of the entrance is indicative of the architectural detail and period fixtures throughout the property. The reception hall is similarly stone flagged and establishes what could easily be anticipated from viewing the home from the outside. Here, the interior standard is established. The hall has been decorated and accessorised with high quality fixtures, fittings and interior design elements such as the moulded architrave framing the doors, wooden panelling and coving on the ceiling along with hand aged brass dolly light switchs. There is an attractive arched leaded window in the hall overlooking the rear garden and an elegantly carpeted staircase. A cloak room positioned immediately on the left has a tiled floor and white Thomas Crapper & Company high flush toilet, matching basin and taps. From the hall there is access to the drawing room, dining room, snug and kitchen diner. Relaxing and entertaining. Noticeably, the five reception rooms in this wonderful property are similarly stylish and yet have their own distinct characteristics. They all combine comfort and grandeur, with functionality and style. The drawing room has a large bay window overlooking the front of the property and another looking into the walled garden at the rear. In this beautiful room there are half wood panelled walls, and an open fireplace with stone surround. The dining room easily accommodates a large table, with ample room for additional furniture. It has an open Baxi fireplace, with rustic brick surround and exposed beams. This room has the second Victorian bay window that can be seen from the front of the property and looks out towards the village green. The snug is exactly as described. It is the cosiest of rooms fitted with a large storage cupboard, Chesney log burner and fitted bookcases on either side of the chimney breast and double aspect windows. There are two further reception rooms, the sitting room and orangery. To access them, the visitor must first pass through the breakfast kitchen. Pleasurable mealtimes The heart of the house is often said to be the kitchen, and, in this house, this beautiful, generous room is a dream. The kitchen is centrally positioned, elegantly designed and spacious. It is the width of the property and as a breakfast kitchen, has a large walk-in pantry and dual aspect windows looking to both garden and village. There are solid oak worktops, contrasting with painted panelled cabinetry and a triple sink provision, one double under the large window overlooking the garden and another on the central island. Both have Barber Wilson taps. Over the central island unit hangs a pan rack which completes the country feel of the room. Additionally, there is a Miele integrated dishwasher, tall freezer and fridge and space for a microwave oven. As we move away from the kitchen, the original layout of one of the adjoining cottages provides access to the front and rear of the property via a rear tiled floor lobby and hall. Reclaimed exposed brickwork and timbers have been incorporated for both steps and walls leading down into the wine cellar. A large utility room is to the right and street front of the house, which also has a door to the rear staircase. This superior laundry room is fitted with bronze Barber Wilson taps, a butler sink, pine cabinetry and worktops, and an open fireplace with pine surround and mantel. It has been fitted with under floor heating and has the appropriate plumbing to accommodate a dishwasher, two washing machines and vented tumble dryer. The orangery is the largest of the unexplored reception rooms. It is gloriously light, spacious and merges the garden with the interior of the house through six sets of double doors that provide a vista of views into the garden. A stone floor, glass atrium and stable door to the greenhouses make this the most delightful room reminiscent of a luxury spa setting and certainly designed for relaxation. If something a little cosier is to your taste, cross the passage to the sitting room having the traditional influences of period fitted shelving, pine panelled doors accessorised with brass fixtures, and dolly light switches which combine to add to the charm and comfort of the interior design. For convenience, this room is fitted with a feature gas fire and period pine surround and mantel. Adjoining it is the boot room. This has been equipped with a butler sink, bronze Barber Wilson taps and pine fitted shelving, cupboards and broom cupboard to provide convenient storage. Here, there is also a door leading directly into one of the two former stables. They are presently put to effective use one being used as a plant room storing a boiler and 2 by 300 litre mega flow water tanks. The dreamy first floor A truly delightful feature of this property is the originality and arrangement of the rooms. The first floor selection of beautifully presented carpeted bedrooms, three with en-suite, continue this characteristic. All fixtures and fittings in all the bathing areas of the house have been tastefully selected with premium quality white suites, fitted and maintained to high specifications. Decorated with white painted balusters, polished dark oak newel post and handrail the carpeted stairs leads to an airy landing from which the garden can be appreciated through a full length large sash window. There are three bedrooms looking towards the village green, one of the bedrooms has a cast iron fireplace and an en-suite with under floor heating below a fired earth tiled floor. The three piece suite comprising of shower, toilet and basin, is fitted with taps by Samuel Heath. Another bedroom has two fitted wardrobes with views over the village green and an en-suite with a Jack and Jill door to the landing. The en-suite has a fired earth tiled floor above under floor heating, a heated towel rail, claw foot cast iron slipper bath, with floor standing taps, all taps in this en-suite are Lefroy Brooks. There are two sash windows in this room and a high flush toilet and a fired earth wash basin. The bedroom in the master suite is particularly striking, as this room has windows to the front and rear of the property, a period cast iron fireplace, high ceilings and exposed timbers. The master suite is approached along a walk way lined with two linen cupboards fitted with slatted shelving. A Jacob Delafon cast iron, hand painted, claw foot bath, is supplied with floor standing taps by Barber Wilson. This en-suite is similarly fitted with underfloor heating, bidet, heated towel rail and high flush toilet.

East Langton

A quintessentially English country home, full of character and charm.’ situated in the wonderful South Leicestershire village of East Langton, Market Harborough, Leicestershire. A little of its history. This unique residence, is a bespoke property that has been lovingly nurtured from humble origins to become a large, fascinating house that consists of four cottages. Dating in main from the Georgian period, this charming building is in a commanding position on Main Street in the delightful village of East Langton, South Leicestershire. This property is formed from a whimsical collective that has evolved into an imposing home by joining 3 brick cottages and the original building. One of the cottages had been used as the village post office in the 1920s. The separate premises now seamlessly unite as one and fold around a private, secluded walled garden. This is a residence full of period charm and maturity, richly sprinkled with traits of quirkiness befitting the age of its existence. In 1946 one of the previous owners Mr Tom Best certainly helped put the Langtons on the map by owning a racehorse called Langton Abbot, which won the Lincolnshire Handicap. It was he who discovered paperwork stowed away in a desk he had purchased with other furniture from an earlier owner, Mr Bethal. This provided written evidence of the culinary speciality made within the walls. Apparently, thousands of pounds of mushrooms sourced from the locality were delivered and made into ketchup within the factory, which now serves as the kitchen. Respectfully, future owners are not obliged to continue with this culinary speciality but undoubtedly this provides a topic to include during any future dinner party! Today, this home is a sumptuous six bedroom detached residence, with three of the bedrooms having a separate en-suite, a family bathroom, kitchen diner and five reception rooms, including an orangery. Nestled around a wonderful cottage garden that compliments the age and nature of the building, the house has been sympathetically designed to richly complement its rural location. It is adorned with luxurious fixtures and fittings befitting the vision carried by the current owners who have created a ‘quintessentially English’ home of distinction. You are assured of a warm welcome As we enter the main house directly from Main Street, the Victorian bay windows are at either side of a traditional entrance porch, where a period doorbell and name plaque herald the guest into an entrance hall with a stone flagged floor and stained-glass windows. This leads to the Georgian part of the house. The standard and presentation of the entrance is indicative of the architectural detail and period fixtures throughout the property. The reception hall is similarly stone flagged and establishes what could easily be anticipated from viewing the home from the outside. Here, the interior standard is established. The hall has been decorated and accessorised with high quality fixtures, fittings and interior design elements such as the moulded architrave framing the doors, wooden panelling and coving on the ceiling along with hand aged brass dolly light switchs. There is an attractive arched leaded window in the hall overlooking the rear garden and an elegantly carpeted staircase. A cloak room positioned immediately on the left has a tiled floor and white Thomas Crapper & Company high flush toilet, matching basin and taps. From the hall there is access to the drawing room, dining room, snug and kitchen diner. Relaxing and entertaining. Noticeably, the five reception rooms in this wonderful property are similarly stylish and yet have their own distinct characteristics. They all combine comfort and grandeur, with functionality and style. The drawing room has a large bay window overlooking the front of the property and another looking into the walled garden at the rear. In this beautiful room there are half wood panelled walls, and an open fireplace with stone surround. The dining room easily accommodates a large table, with ample room for additional furniture. It has an open Baxi fireplace, with rustic brick surround and exposed beams. This room has the second Victorian bay window that can be seen from the front of the property and looks out towards the village green. The snug is exactly as described. It is the cosiest of rooms fitted with a large storage cupboard, Chesney log burner and fitted bookcases on either side of the chimney breast and double aspect windows. There are two further reception rooms, the sitting room and orangery. To access them, the visitor must first pass through the breakfast kitchen. Pleasurable mealtimes The heart of the house is often said to be the kitchen, and, in this house, this beautiful, generous room is a dream. The kitchen is centrally positioned, elegantly designed and spacious. It is the width of the property and as a breakfast kitchen, has a large walk-in pantry and dual aspect windows looking to both garden and village. There are solid oak worktops, contrasting with painted panelled cabinetry and a triple sink provision, one double under the large window overlooking the garden and another on the central island. Both have Barber Wilson taps. Over the central island unit hangs a pan rack which completes the country feel of the room. Additionally, there is a Miele integrated dishwasher, tall freezer and fridge and space for a microwave oven. As we move away from the kitchen, the original layout of one of the adjoining cottages provides access to the front and rear of the property via a rear tiled floor lobby and hall. Reclaimed exposed brickwork and timbers have been incorporated for both steps and walls leading down into the wine cellar. A large utility room is to the right and street front of the house, which also has a door to the rear staircase. This superior laundry room is fitted with bronze Barber Wilson taps, a butler sink, pine cabinetry and worktops, and an open fireplace with pine surround and mantel. It has been fitted with under floor heating and has the appropriate plumbing to accommodate a dishwasher, two washing machines and vented tumble dryer. The orangery is the largest of the unexplored reception rooms. It is gloriously light, spacious and merges the garden with the interior of the house through six sets of double doors that provide a vista of views into the garden. A stone floor, glass atrium and stable door to the greenhouses make this the most delightful room reminiscent of a luxury spa setting and certainly designed for relaxation. If something a little cosier is to your taste, cross the passage to the sitting room having the traditional influences of period fitted shelving, pine panelled doors accessorised with brass fixtures, and dolly light switches which combine to add to the charm and comfort of the interior design. For convenience, this room is fitted with a feature gas fire and period pine surround and mantel. Adjoining it is the boot room. This has been equipped with a butler sink, bronze Barber Wilson taps and pine fitted shelving, cupboards and broom cupboard to provide convenient storage. Here, there is also a door leading directly into one of the two former stables. They are presently put to effective use one being used as a plant room storing a boiler and 2 by 300 litre mega flow water tanks. The dreamy first floor A truly delightful feature of this property is the originality and arrangement of the rooms. The first floor selection of beautifully presented carpeted bedrooms, three with en-suite, continue this characteristic. All fixtures and fittings in all the bathing areas of the house have been tastefully selected with premium quality white suites, fitted and maintained to high specifications. Decorated with white painted balusters, polished dark oak newel post and handrail the carpeted stairs leads to an airy landing from which the garden can be appreciated through a full length large sash window. There are three bedrooms looking towards the village green, one of the bedrooms has a cast iron fireplace and an en-suite with under floor heating below a fired earth tiled floor. The three piece suite comprising of shower, toilet and basin, is fitted with taps by Samuel Heath. Another bedroom has two fitted wardrobes with views over the village green and an en-suite with a Jack and Jill door to the landing. The en-suite has a fired earth tiled floor above under floor heating, a heated towel rail, claw foot cast iron slipper bath, with floor standing taps, all taps in this en-suite are Lefroy Brooks. There are two sash windows in this room and a high flush toilet and a fired earth wash basin. The bedroom in the master suite is particularly striking, as this room has windows to the front and rear of the property, a period cast iron fireplace, high ceilings and exposed timbers. The master suite is approached along a walk way lined with two linen cupboards fitted with slatted shelving. A Jacob Delafon cast iron, hand painted, claw foot bath, is supplied with floor standing taps by Barber Wilson.

Sibbertoft is close to The Grand Canal which once carried goods locally. Today, the road network reflects the modern logistics of distribution and as a result, Sibbertoft has excellent road connections and most of the large Midlands conurbations can be reached easily within an hour. Farming is still the principal trade although it now employs few people and the number of dairy farms has decreased. The emphasis is now on arable, sheep, beef and leisure. The conversion of Sibbertoft Manor to a Nursing Home provides the single largest employment opportunities within the immediate locality. According to the 1998 Parish Appraisal the village is seen as being too small to support a shop and on balance that more businesses should not be encouraged. Leisure activities dominate with the Red Lion operating as a pub/restaurant, an amenity appreciated by the villagers; fishing lakes have been created as has a 4WD track and self-catering holiday cabins. The Coventry Gliding Club, based on the former World War 2 airfield (which is just outside the parish), has expanded its activities and now holds international gliding competitions. Although Sibbertoft is a very small village, it has an active social life based around the church – the Anglican Grade II listed Church of St Helen’s - the Reading Room (village hall) and the pub. The nearest doctor’s surgery is at Husbands Bosworth 3 miles away. The Police operate from Daventry 15 miles away. Local parish information can be found at https://sibbertoftparishcouncil.gov.uk Sibbertoft was mentioned in the Doomsday Book under the ownership of Count Robert of Mortain, a half-brother of William the Conqueror and has evidence of Iron Age and Roman settlement. It is also part of the Naseby Battlefield Trail, as in June 1645 democracy was won on the nearby fields of Naseby when the King’s army was beaten and parliament gained a permanent role in the governance of the kingdom. Many also regard it as the birthplace of the British Army. It is an important cultural heritage site and remains much as it would have been at the time of the Civil War. Rockingham Castle is also close by. The local primary school is in Welford: the Welford, Sibbertoft and Sulby Endowed School. It is a small village primary school catering for 4 to 11 year olds and forms part of the Guilsborough Academy Cluster of schools within the Peterborough Diocese Educational Trust. The Office for Standards in Education - OFSTED – is best researched to provide a comprehensive review of currently rated standards of practice and a comprehensive list of other educational facilities within the vicinity.

‘A dream of a home for so many reasons.’ Welcome to The Paddocks A first impression The Paddocks is the type of property that immediately creates a favourable impression. 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. There is a simplicity and tasteful understated elegance about the house, land and natural surroundings that signal that here we have a prestigious property, where attention and care has been made with specifications and uncompromised standards attained with finished details. Originally built in 2021, The Paddocks is a superior five bedroom - three with an ensuite - detached home in a beautiful location. It has two large reception rooms, a generous kitchen dining area, pantry, home office, double garage, cloakroom and a separate family bathroom. It 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 colours from Farrow and Ball, the opportunity to own this house would be a dream come true for many seeking a new home. Let’s look around! The Paddocks is approached from a private shared drive on Station Road and is entered through secure, remotely controlled electric gates that open onto a large expanse of shingled drive, stretching across the front and to the side of the house. A newly planted selection of trees will increasingly provide privacy, interest and an attractive barrier from the road. At the furthest point of the house there is a double garage, with oodles of space for several vehicles and turning on the drive. A brick wall, two grassed areas and a paved path leading to the covered porch and front door of the property, are immediately at the front, with fences at either side of the house preserving privacy to the gardens and grounds at the rear. A warm reception The front door is under a covered porch featuring naturally stained timbers. 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, large 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 and the statement light fitting that hangs in the space immediately above. A cloakroom is positioned under the stairs and doors open to reception rooms on all sides. The living room is on the right. Entertainment and relaxation The Paddocks has been fitted with underfloor heating and benefits from lighting that can be altered to suit the mood and occasion. The living room is one of several entertaining areas and is generously proportioned to easily hold several large sofas and other pieces of furniture. It has a window overlooking the front drive and is carpeted. Across the hall the home office 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 family room. In the family room 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 is carpeted and looks out to the south facing garden and beyond, accessible through bi folding doors. From the garden there are wide open views over the natural landscape of farmland and trees. Curtains and blinds are included within the sale. The heart beat 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, it is certain to be the heartbeat of the property. A second set of bi folding doors open into the garden from the dining area so this easily accommodates larger groups of family or guests. In fact the space is 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 light floor tiles, Purbeck Stone polished work surfaces and a mixture of Shaker style cabinetry, in contrasting white or blue 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, microwave, Sonos speakers, mobile phone charger and dish washer. The remaining appliances could be negotiated for and include the washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge freezer and wine cooler. The pantry 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 garage. Come upstairs and admire the views The galleried landing is a truly delightful feature of this property and as many of the light fittings are a purchasable option, the artistic fixture presently gracing the space near the Velux window has an option to remain. The first floor consists of 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. 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 carpets and single feature walls of blocked painted colour. All fixtures and fittings in all the bathing areas of the house have been tastefully selected for their contemporary design and fitted to high specifications. They all impress with the continuing theme of neutrality and stunning attention to detail. The family bathroom is fitted with a double vanity unit with separate shower and bath. There are heated towel rails, illuminated mirrors and automatic lighting in all the bathing rooms.. 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. From any of the balconies the private landscaped garden and the land beyond can be really appreciated and then experienced by taking a stroll around the grounds. The garden has been a naturally blank canvas of grass and is amidst a process of development. There are core structural elements already in place including a large pond with raised decked platform, patio area with borders and a cross section path leading to a summer house which has air-conditioning and internet connection. Hedges, raised borders, sheds and a terraced walk way is in position already and in just a few years, it can be imagined that wisteria could easily be twisting its way over the structure mingled with rambling roses. And finally From the outset we see the combination of traditionally pleasing characteristics with the best of technology and quality. The Paddocks is equipped with solar panels and is surrounded by Leicestershire’s farmland countryside. This superior home has been sympathetically designed to richly complement its location. 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.
