‘Archetypally English, a thatched cottage to aspire to own.’ Part of the village narrative Red Roofs is synonymous with the central history of Houghton on the Hill. It has been recognised as a nationally important building and was listed in 1984 as Grade II. On the National Heritage List for England (NHLE) it is noted that it is probably a cruck framed house and dates from the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century. Foremost however, it has been a carefully nurtured and enjoyed home for hundreds of years: the present owners have lived in the property for thirty-three of these. Positioned on Main Street, this detached house is actually formed from three cottages converted into one building over a number of years. On the ground floor, there are four reception rooms, a kitchen, boot room, cloakroom, sun room and bathroom. Three staircases lead to the four double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first level and provide the strongest architectural evidence of the original construction. A direct street entrance opens into an entrance hall and to the side, along a gated driveway, there is a separate, double garage, with established gardens to the rear. First impressions Red Roofs has whitewashed rendered brick walls with a plinth and thatch roof over three quarters of its length. The remaining quarter is tiled. As its name suggests, at one time the thatch was covered with a red painted corrugated iron roof. There are two brick ridge chimney stacks, a right end stack, and a centrally recessed front door with thatched canopy. The interior remains true to character. Black wrought iron door latches and hinges, whitewashed walls and hewn, cruck shaped beams reveal their simple architectural and sculptural quality. The cruck cottage is so called because it is essentially an A frame timber building, which supports the purlins and wall plates, transferring the load of the roof to the ground. Red Roofs may have been a single storey at one time, and the window in bedroom four above the sitting room is possibly at the original floor level. Others have been raised in later conversions and three at the rear of the property are eye brow dormers, beautifully enhanced by the thatch roof. A warm welcome Passing under the thatched entrance, with steps up to the solid oak front door, the entrance hall opens out to the dining room on the left and the middle staircase on the right. With the exception of the carpeted sitting room, the reception rooms have solid flooring. They are well proportioned rooms and are light and airy spaces, many benefiting from dual aspect windows. The dining room has a window to the front and light pours in through double glass doors from the entrance into the sun room, and an internal window. Fireplaces provide focal points in the dining room and large lounge, which has an inglenook fireplace topped with a mantel shelf, stone hearth, seating to each side and a Jotul wood burning stove. The feature fireplace in the dining room benefits from an electric fire. Close your eyes and imagine the sun pouring through the windows or the prospect of curling up with a good book in front of the fire in this cosy retreat. Bliss! The lounge has two windows to the front and an interior door opening onto a small lobby with the third staircase. This leads to bedroom four, the downstairs bathroom consisting of walk-in shower, basin and toilet and another door into the study. In the study there is fitted shelving to three walls and a work top/desk area under the window which looks out into the garden. It has a door into the sunroom, which is floor tiled with underfloor heating and has double doors opening onto a large sweep of patio that crosses the back of the property, providing a generous space to relax in the secluded, private garden. A rear entrance from the boot room is a few steps away, where a cloak room consisting of a basin and toilet are conveniently positioned for those coming in directly from the garden. The next room is the kitchen and through that to the lounge diner, where the first staircase leads to the remaining two bedrooms, including the master and a large bathroom. If this room is crossed rather than ascending the stairs, the visitor will find themselves back into the dining room and the original point of entrance. This arrangement of rooms has evolved as the property has been merged and extended. By keeping three staircases, the size of the bedrooms has not been compromised and by incorporating two bathrooms and a cloakroom - at opposite ends of the property - contemporary expectations have been meet in a period home. A country kitchen The kitchen itself is very practical and has a generous collection of maple fitted wall and floor units. In keeping with the character of the cottage, a dresser style unit and plate rack, with deep mantel shelf above the cooker and Victorian pulley rack have been added. The floor is heavy duty vinyl and there are metro aligned tiles as a splashback, with contrasting black and grey qranite work tops. Dual aspect windows allow the light to flood in from the front and side of the house and the sink unit is under a window looking to the roadside. Integrated appliances include a fitted cooker with extraction hood, dishwasher and fridge freezer. The kitchen is next door to the dining room/ lounge and together they create a flexible and adaptable space for entertaining, with easy access to the garden. The first floor The layout of the first floor affords generous sized bedrooms of character and privacy, with exposed blackened beams and whitewashed walls. The first staircase leads to a wide landing and three doors to two bedrooms and the family bathroom. Both the master bedroom and bedroom number two have dual aspect windows, the former has a generous arrangement of fitted storage and bedroom 2 has a built in wardrobe. The bathroom consists of a walk in shower, basin, bath and toilet with heated towel rail. Bedrooms three and four are similarly decorated and large, with integrated storage. They have their own staircases and the second downstairs bathroom is within easy reach. From its humble beginnings, Red Roofs has emerged as a spacious home, under the artistry of a thatched roof: cool in summer and warm in winter. The private grounds to the rear of the property compliment the quintessentially English countryside scene with lawn, established trees, a well feature and cottage garden plants. The perfect place to sit and relax! LOCALITY Houghton on the Hill LE7 Houghton on the Hill is a village in central England, a region referred to as the East Midlands.

Set back from the roadside on three acres of land, The Stockyard was constructed in 2019 and is an immaculately presented property with a distinctive contemporary style. Located on the edge of the village of Bruntingthorpe, this residence has been created around the definition of a stockyard – a large yard with covered buildings, stables and pens suitable to hold animals temporarily – to the most sublime level. Its characteristics are utterly practical yet utterly luxurious, and presents as a notably original home of grand design appeal. There is an intrinsic simplicity and beauty in the choice of textures, fixtures and fittings throughout this generous home that clearly speaks of minimalism, great planning and decisions made with high quality as standard. This residence is in every way, uncluttered. Unhindered lines of sight and a coordinated colour palette, provide an internal décor that emphasises the well-proportioned interior and provides a layout that is the blueprint for free flow contemporary living. Here, you have all the advantages of a property filled with technology and quality features, yet nestled in a beautiful countryside setting. Its location allows convenient access to major transport networks and amenities within Central England. Provision and practicality The Stockyard stands strikingly new, concealed behind an automated sliding entrance, fitted with an intercom that allows it to be operated by two mobile phones from any distance. A wide drive sweeps up towards the house by securely fenced animal pens and outbuildings: annexe with double garage, two stables, store and gym. The single level main residence provides an open plan living space combining the kitchen, dining room and living room. There are two further reception rooms, a prime bedroom suite with dressing room and en-suite, two double bedrooms on either side of a bathroom, utility room, and cloak room and entrance hall. The annexe is adjoining the garage. It has an open plan living space, a shower room and double bedroom. The main house The Stockyard has heat treated black timber cladding on its exterior walls and aluminium windows and doors fitted with security lighting. A hard landscaped front area with Slevis concrete edging and slabs, has paddocks, pens and an inner yard completely perimeter fenced and secure for dogs or livestock. With pebbles, raised planters and an underfoot fish filled water feature, the visitor is lead to the covered front entrance. At nightfall, flood lighting can be operated to illuminate the yard and in addition to cameras monitored via a mobile app, lights to the house, garage and annexe are fitted with dawn until dusk sensors to ensure maximum security. This property has a full CCTV security system. The entrance hall has internal sensor lighting and is fitted with a coat and shoe cupboard. It is one of many rooms with tiles and fixtures from the Porcelanosa range and all rooms have underfloor heating and Nest smoke and carbon dioxide alarms. The cloakroom entered from the hall, is likewise fitted with floor and wall tiles. It has a two piece suite, consisting of a toilet, vanity unit, anti-mist glass mirror, shaver socket and taps. Open plan living The open plan living area is a beautiful light and airy space with distinctive zones identified by the designation of specific light fittings. On the far wall a swathe of white high gloss wall to floor units provide generous storage and frame the breakfast island with stools and pendant lights, while the superb circular gas fire by Robey’s of Derby, is a statement piece and allows an all-round view. The room can be arranged to include cocooning cosy nooks or opened up for larger scale entertaining, especially as there are sliding glass doors across two walls allowing for further fluidity. This space has been used with modular furniture to create self-contained spaces within the whole. A wall mounted television and built in sound system richly enhance the entertainment aspects, and the provision of a wine cooler, low level drinks fridge and purpose built display cabinets for glasses and bottles are conveniently on hand. The internal décor remains beautifully neutral with coordinating floor tiles, exposed brick walls, beams and pillars, and electronically controlled blinds to all windows. The integrated appliances in the kitchen area were all fitted in August 2019 and include appliances by Neff: a five ring induction hob, dishwasher, an extractor hood, a warming drawer, two ovens and a microwave, a full height fridge and freezer duo. A Frankie boiling water tap has been installed here. A further two reception rooms are entered from the open plan area and continue in the same contemporary style. The study/office has French doors opening to the front of the property with tiling, a brick wall and thermostatically controlled underfloor heating. In the sitting room next door a second Robey’s feature gas fire is located under the wall mounted television. This room is fitted with CAT 5 cabling and Amtico flooring. It has a vaulted ceiling with full height glazing and electronically operated window blinds, with triple sliding doors opening to the side of the property. This home has air conditioning in several rooms and the units can also be used for heating. It has an app controlled Nest fire and carbon monoxide alarm, lighting and an underfloor heating control thermostat. Across the entrance hall there is a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer. This room has Porcelanosa fixtures including a towel rail, floor tiles and a bespoke splash back. An internal door from the utility provides access to the plant room, housing the boiler. The main bedrooms There are three bedrooms in the main building and they all have thermostatically controlled underfloor heating, heat and air conditioning units, and wall mounted televisions with CAT 5 cabling. There are USB sockets at each bedside, feature lighting and window blinds. The large master suite has French doors and Amtico flooring throughout. In the dressing room there are bespoke Sharps wardrobes and a dressing table, with ample provision for clothes and shoes behind mirrored sliding doors. The en-suite, like the family bathroom positioned between the second and third bedrooms, is resourced from Porcelanosa and is contemporary, beautifully maintained and quite luxurious. Tiled from wall to floor, it has a walk in shower with a triple function head including waterfall, bath with fitted handheld shower, toilet, heated towel rail and mirror with an anti-mist inbuilt feature. There is also a Bluetooth sound system to enjoy within the suite which has a vaulted ceiling, full height glazing and remote controlled window blinds. Bedrooms two, three and the family bathroom, are reached from a separate hall coming from the main living area. Above the hall, a large attic is completely insulated, supplied by power, boarded and accessible by a ladder. The remaining bedrooms are similarly decorated and fitted to a high standard, as the master. They are both carpeted. Bedroom three is to the rear, while bedroom two has French doors opening to the left side of the building. Like the master, it also has a vaulted ceiling and Sharps bespoke fitted furniture, remote controlled lighting and power. The annexe The annexe to The Stockyard is simply put, lesser only in size. In quality and provision it has been equipped to the same rigorously high specifications as those found in the main dwelling. This building, including the double garage, store and double stables, was added by the present owner in 2023. It consists of an open living space inclusive of a kitchen, lounge and dining area, with one double bedroom and a shower room. Similar integrated appliances, fixtures and fittings provide a wonderfully equipped additional dwelling. The double garage is to the side. The garage is fitted with Hormann automated doors, power sockets, underfloor heating, lighting, alarm systems and solar panels. The panels have a 5.7kw battery storage capacity that supplies the site. Similarly, the stables are fitted with lights and power and, like the dog pens, security features controllable on apps. This is also a characteristic of the storage facility and gym. They are both steel container units and have been fitted with appropriate racking to fit their purpose, with lighting, power sockets and internet connections as standard. Optimised views It is by clever and practical design that the grounds can be fully enjoyed and appreciated from many perspectives within the building, providing wonderful views and a prominent accompaniment to The Stockyard. As care has been taken to illuminate them at nightfall and there are many places to relax for sun seekers during the day, the grounds are a wonderful asset. Consideration has been taken to incorporate the original purpose for a stockyard into a bespoke, contemporary home environment and the yards, pens and paddocks are part of the whole design. Here, animals are totally secure, fenced and monitored. The landscaping is low maintenance and characterful, especially if you have livestock to trim the grass. There really is only one task for the new owners to accomplish with this property…sit by your designer fountain and relax!

‘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.

This truly impressive house is a tastefully constructed six bedroom detached property in prime condition. It provides contemporary living complimented with stylish features of the highest specification. Located on a spacious private plot, it has been built as part of a small gated development in the south Leicestershire village of Gilmorton and with the addition of neighbouring open farmland, it is in a highly sought after location. Albert Close is approached from Ashby Road and is distinctly secluded due to the necessity of all vehicles needing to pass through the electronically gated entrance to gain entry. Once on the Close, the separate drive to Mulberry House sweeps to the front and side of the property, leading to a detached double garage with an electrically operated door. There is ample parking for several vehicles and substantial space to turn a car around in. The open landscaping at the front of the property provides lawns, paving and flower beds, providing a foreground that exhibits the elegance of a traditional country home of size and stature. This is a delightful property that has been built to exacting standards and richly benefits from the residential and rural charm of its position. A superior home Undeniably, the first impression of this house from the outside is how well it is presented and this sets the standard for the interior. Each room in this property is generously proportioned and promotes an atmosphere of luxurious, modern living. The central hallway is fitted with underfloor heating, creating a warm and welcoming pivotal core from which access can be gained through boarded oak doors to both reception rooms, the kitchen diner, upper floors and the downstairs cloak room. The textures, fixtures and fittings are contemporary and coordinated, with flushed to the ceiling lighting, brushed steel switches, plainly painted walls and a neutral colour scheme. Relaxation and entertainment On the ground floor, the lounge is immediately to the left after entry and has a dual aspect; a window overlooking the drive and bi folding doors that open into the private rear garden. They are screened with electric window blinds. The room is spacious but cosy, benefitting from having a log burner with deep mantel shelf and underfloor heating. This room is the width of the property and has been designed to overlook the patio that can also be reached from a separate pair of double doors opening from the kitchen diner. Designed to complement modern expectations for interior spaces to be multi-functional and practically accessible, this arrangement allows the rooms to be used separately or together. A modern, easy living kitchen The kitchen is naturally the hub of the home and this one is sure to be a room bustling with activity, being both beautifully practical and tastefully stylish. While the lighting and central island dining fixture present a natural position for informal eating, the overall size of the space has allowed the present owners to incorporate a further seating area and this permits unhindered movement for family or guests, while conversation, catering and dining happen. This is a hospitality hot spot. It is maximised with the easy access into the garden and has been designed to provide a delightful workspace, supplied with a swathe of spacious, wall and floor fitted storage units in high gloss grey and white, integrated appliances and granite work tops.

”A former village bakery.” Historical features There would have been a time when a daily part of life in the south Leicestershire village of Husbands Bosworth would have been to visit the local baker’s shop on High Street to purchase a freshly baked loaf of bread for tea. Today, the plaque next to the front door - The Old Bakery – reminds visitors that this lovely period property once served an important role in the community and is the starting point for entry into a charming five bedroomed residence that contains distinctive characteristics harking back to its origins. The two storey cottage is located on the corner of High Street and Butt Lane. It originally had a door opening into the baker’s shop directly from the street and a flour store above, accessible by an external staircase in the yard, where sacks would have been taken from horse drawn carts driven into the yard for unloading. A large bread oven in the converted shop space, which is now a beautiful lounge, is a fantastic featureand a short beam above the real fire, marks the edge of the original trap door. Beautifully bespoke The Old Bakery has three floors and includes three reception rooms, a kitchen with utility, boot room and cloakroom, prime bedroom suite with en-suite, family bathroom and four large, separate bedrooms on the first and second level. There is no doubt, this is a bespoke property. It is the product of a merger between traditional aspects of its past and contemporary facets of quality, style and taste: the overall spirit of the home captures the essence of country life. Within the last three years, the present owners have entirely redecorated the house interiorly and repainted all woodwork on the outhouses. The property has also been damp proofed. This charming residence is within a conservation area and has maintained its distinctive period features: exposed red brickwork, rectangular sash windows, chimney pots, grey tiled roof and a street fronted entrance. On the whole, the majority of the properties on High Street were originally built during the late nineteenth century, like the saddler and smithy premises close by. The paved driveway is now screened by a pair of electrically operated gates opening from the roadside and they reveal a wide drive suitable for turning and parking vehicles. Practical, private and serene The yard, once a hive of activity, is now divided into two distinct areas. The first is flanked with a workshop, garage and wood store to the left and two separate outhouses: the closest to the house has a supply of hot and cold water. A previous owner used the workshop for commercial woodworking machines and it is supplied with three phase mains power. More recently, an electric car charger has been fitted. Beyond this and looking towards the house on the right of the drive, the courtyard is separated by a low brick wall and gate. At one time providing shelter for livestock and used for domestic chores, it is now a characterful and serene garden. It provides a private outside haven for relaxation and entertaining. Presently filled with planters overflowing with greenery and colourful plants, it is an inviting and charming space. Overlooked by windows in the lounge and kitchen, it is also an enclosed place for younger family members to play.   The first step over the threshold The front door to number forty swings wide open and to the left the tour begins as the visitor moves across the entrance and into the light filled dining room. With original beams exposed, plainly painted walls, panelled doors and real oak wooden floors, the Old Bakery has an appealing mixture ofauthentic traits and traditional features. As we cross into the lounge, the eye is immediately drawn to the far wall. Here, the original cast iron front of the bread oven from the bakery is set above a brick arch displaying logs and surrounded by exposed floor to ceiling brickwork. This creates an utterly bespoke fireplace: especially as a previous owner recovered the ash box and fire grill from a Malaysian jungle and repurposed it. It has a tiled hearth, wooden beams above and oak floors, with dual aspect windows, looking to the front and back of the property. The third reception room is the snug and this was once the sitting room. It is tastefully decorated with a tiled, Edwardian style fireplace, mantel shelf and hearth . The Edwardian extension The refurbished kitchen has been re-plastered and is fitted with a vertical radiator. This room, the rear entrance lobby, boot room and downstairs cloakroom is believed to have been added around one hundred years ago. It has a kitchen sink view into the courtyard. With open shelving at head height and quartz worktops along the two main walls, the apple green Shaker style floor cupboards provide a generous capacity for storage and kitchen tools. The appliances and fixtures included in the sale of the property include the dishwasher and plantation blinds, with present owners prepared to negotiate over the inclusion of the Range cooker. Quarry tiles flow through these spaces and provide a practical area close to the garden. Fitted with additional shelving, cupboards and sink, the utility is plumbed for a washing machine and tumble drier. The boot room separates the utility from the cloakroom, which comprises of a two piece suite. Bedrooms and bathing The characterful nature of this lovely house continues as you move upstairs to the first floor. Ascending the carpetedstaircase to the first of two landings, there are two doublebedrooms, the spacious primary room with en-suite and a family bathroom. A second staircase leads to the large bedrooms in the loft space. All of the bedrooms are well decorated and have distinctive features, particular to their position. On the second floor, one of these has been panelled and is presently used as an office, with wonderful second story views over the locality. Wooden panelling is also a beautiful feature of the classic family bathroom. This large room has a free standing roll top bath, with hand held shower tap and claw feet. If luxuriating here is not to your taste, the tiled walk in shower provides another option and forms part of the whole suite comprising of heated towel rail, basin with vanity unit and high level cistern toilet.Likewise, the quality of the fittings and fixtures is mirrored in the en-suite attached to the prime bedroom which is also in white porcelain. It has feature tiling in the walk-in shower, heated towel rail, toilet, vanity unit with basin and a mirroredbathroom cupboard.     Husbands Bosworth is a large crossroads village in the Midlands county of Leicestershire. The village falls within the district council of Harborough, under the county council of Leicestershire. It is in the LE17 postcode district. The post town for Husbands Bosworth is Lutterworth. It is located in the southern part of the county, thirteen miles south of Leicester on the A5199 road from Leicester city to Northampton and the A4304 road from Junction 20 of the M1 motorway to Market Harborough. Leicester city is a culturally diverse attraction for those wishing to visit museums, galleries, theatres or simply indulge in local markets and retail therapy. As the village is on the borders of Northamptonshire and due to its central location, it is ideally located for all main transport links, including air (Nottingham East Midlands Airport) and rail. Husbands Bosworth is six miles from the train station in Market Harborough and twelve miles from another in Rugby. Direct London lines – the first to St Pancras and the second to Euston – take approximately an hour and run at regular intervals. Husbands Bosworth was mentioned in the Doomsday Book and during the Middle Ages was called Baresworth or Boresworth but became known as it is known now in the late 16th century to distinguish it from the village of Market Bosworth, renowned for the 1485 Battle of Bosworth Field. The ridge of hills running through its area is believed to have been a Bronze Age trackway but the crossroads nature of the village first occurred in 1765 and accounts for the fact that there are two village greens. One of them is at the cross-roads and one on the east at the corner of Church Lane and Mowsley Road. The parish church, All Saints, and Bosworth Hall and Park lie at the east end of the village. It is believed that some parts of the church may date back to the 13th century but the tower dates from the mid-14th century. The Grand Union Canal enters a tunnel about ¾ mile long just north of the village and there are walks easily accessible along the towpaths. Today, the village can offer several amenities within walking distance such as a village shop, post office, doctors surgery and dispensary, dentist, hairdressers, several pubs, a Chinese takeaway, recreational areas ( tennis courts, football pitches, skate park ) and a bustling village hall offering community events and involvement in all national celebrations like coronations or jubilees. There are many countryside based attractions nearby including riding schools, golf clubs and country parks. Wider afield, local days out could be enjoyed in such places as Belvoir Castle, Bradgate park or Twycross Zoo. The locality provides many schools across the educational age range; nursery, primary, secondary, including private establishments offering bordering facilities. The Office for Standards in Education - OFSTED – is best researched to provide a co...

Locality Leire is a small village in a region known as the East Midlands, in the southern part of the county of Leicestershire. Leire lies three miles north-east of the Warwickshire border and falls within the district council of Harborough, under the county council of Leicestershire. It is in the LE17 postcode district and the post town for Leire is Lutterworth, which is four miles away along the A426. The Midlands are essentially central to everything in England: airports, motorways and train stations are easily accessible. London is approximately 83 miles away and it is possible to visit the seaside for a day trip! The A5, M1, M69 and M6 maximise the potential for travel by road from this central location, with the major city of Leicester being only ten miles to the south-west. Leicester city is a culturally diverse attraction for those wishing to visit museums, galleries, theatres or simply indulge in local markets and retail therapy. Likewise, Leire lies 14 miles north-east of Coventry, 29 miles east of Birmingham and 31 miles south of Nottingham. Historically, the name of the village is believed to originate from the old British name for the River Soar or Legra, which has a tributary south of the village. In times past, residents have earned their living by farming and Leire still has prominent ridge and furrow land divisions to show the change in the post medieval period from arable to pastoral farming. The conservation area of Leire follows a linear line along the core of the village, Main Street, and various periods of dwellings including Edwardian, can be seen. As the village is set in flat, well hedged countryside, from a distance, only the spire of the church, St Peters, is visible. The church is built from angular pink granite but has an earlier medieval sandstone tower.    Today, one of the original buildings, the village school, is used as the village hall. It is used for community organisations and events like the Leire and Dunton Scouts – Beavers and Cubs combined –pre-school groups or Pilates class. The village can offer locally sourced food in the public houses, The Queens Arms and The Crab and Cow.  The village has a reputation for being a sociable community with involvement in all national celebrations like coronations or jubilees. There are many countryside based attractions nearby including riding schools, golf clubs and country parks. Wider afield, local days out could be enjoyed in such places as Belvoir Castle, Bradgate park or Twycross Zoo. The locality provides many schools across the educational age range; nursery, primary, secondary, including private establishments offering bordering facilities. The Office for Standards in Education - OFSTED – is best researched to provide a comprehensive review of currently rated standards of practice.   Council Tax Band:F EPC Rating: 64D Tenure: Freehold       Disclaimer: Important Information: Property Particulars: Although we endeavor to ensure the accuracy of property details we have not tested any services, equipment or fixtures and fittings.

‘Above the ordinary.’ An innovative first appearance Be prepared to be impressed with this spacious and contemporary property set in the Leicestershire village of Broughton Astley. The five bedroomed detached residence has been built away from the road along a private, gated driveway. With boundaries set by fences and a hedge, the drive leads to an open frontage with ample room for turning. Parked vehicles can easily be manoeuvred into the double garage or to the side of the property in this secluded position accessed by turning in from Leicester Road.

Lutterworth is a bustling market town in central England, a region referred to as the East Midlands. It is situated approximately twelve miles south of Leicester’s city centre and just over six miles north of Rugby in Warwickshire, which has the nearest train station. Here, there are four hundred plus weekly scheduled trains to London stations, on average taking a little over an hour. The closest airports are the East Midlands Airport and Birmingham International Airport, which welcome multiple international flights per day. Today, and since 1964 when it was first constructed, the M1 can be accessed east of Lutterworth at junction 20 and to the south lies the M6. A southern bypass provides a route away from the town centre for traffic from the M1 travelling to the A5 on the A4303. Further afield, there is a wider network of transport links stretching across the Midlands and Lutterworth is within a short distance of Warwickshire and Northamptonshire. Evidence of a settlement on the site of Lutterworth can be traced as far back as the Anglo Saxon period and in The Domesday Book of 1086, it was recorded in the Old English as Hlutre Worth. The town was granted its market charter in 1214 by King John. The town claims fame for two unique reasons. The first being that the religious reformer John Wycliffe – rector at the parish church St Mary’s from 1374 to 1378 – translated the Bible from Latin into English and the second, dating from the twentieth century is that Sir Frank Whittle engineered the first jet engine nearby. A memorial to him is located on a roundabout in the town where a model of the first jet aircraft, the Gloster E.28/29 is proudly displayed. Lutterworth is in the LE17 postcode district and falls within the local authority of Harborough. It is intersected by the old Roman roads of Watling Street and Fosse Way, being quite close to High Cross, the centre of Roman England. During the period when stagecoaches provided public transport these roads proved invaluable and Lutterworth still has coaching inns - The Shambles and The Greyhound Coaching Inn to name but two – that catered for those travelling to Oxford or London. Today, national bus companies serve the commuter well, offering daily cross county routes. As a market town, Lutterworth can boast of many uniquely bespoke shops, restaurants, sports venues, public houses, cafes and parks, plus edge of town super stores and retail hubs. Sports provision nearby includes gyms, cricket, bowling and two football teams: Lutterworth Athletic and Lutterworth Town AFC. The Village Hall is a Grade II listed building and hosts many community events, catering for a diverse array of groups. For an even greater variety of entertainment including theatres and museums, the cosmopolitan city of Leicester with its diverse cultural influences is on hand. For local days out the Lutterworth museum, Stanford Hall or Warwick Castle provide seasonal activities but there are many places to visit within the area to cater for all ages, tastes and interests. Within the locality, there is primary educational provision for younger children at John Wycliffe Primary School and Sherrier Primary School. Secondary provision is at Lutterworth High School (11-16 years) and Lutterworth College (11-18 years). However, this central location provides many catchment schools offering educational facilities for nursery, primary, and secondary aged children, including private establishments. The Office for Standards in Education - OFSTED – is best researched to provide a comprehensive review of currently rated standards of practice. Disclaimer: Important Information:
