Positioned within the conservation area of the small Leicestershire village of Leire, Ash House is a four bedroom detached house on Main Street. It is one of several period properties that together form the roadside houses that shape the centre of the village. Originally built in 1860, it has the characterful appeal, intrinsic charm and notable characteristics of a Victorian country home: vertical sliding sash windows, a narrowly mortared red brick exterior, chimney pots and an original panelled front door with fan light. Ash House has been carefully maintained and enjoyed by its present owner for over forty years. In that time it has been tastefully extended to provide an additional reception room and fourth bedroom. It has a generous garden room that overlooks a wonderful cottage garden at the bottom of which a double garage is carefully tucked away. Victorian features An open drive can be entered from the street and runs along the entire rear garden to the double garage. Parking for two vehicles to the side of the property, allows easy access into the house through a tiled rear porch. This is a perfect back door entrance and has provision for coats and shoes, with a door to the right opening into the downstairs cloakroom, comprising of a two piece white suite. The main front door opens immediately from the street into a central entrance hall. This has Victorian coving and deep skirting boards. It has a carpeted staircase to the front and right of the space. The original staircase is particularly attractive. Made from pitch pine, it has polished newel posts, spindles, panelling and a handrail. A large arched window on the landing allows light to flood down into the hall and panelled pine interior doors open into three of the four reception rooms: dining room, garden room and lounge. The reception rooms The carpeted dining room overlooks the front of the property and links through two sets of double doors into the kitchen and porch at the rear. This room has a Jetmaster open fire set within a period fireplace and a large floor to ceiling fitted cupboard. The proximity to the kitchen permits entertaining to be as formal or informal as required, and certainly allows flexibility, as this house has ample space for dining tables in the kitchen and garden room. The snug is the fourth reception room and has duel aspect sash windows fitted with blinds looking to the front and side. As suggested by its name, it is a beautifully decorated, cosy retreat. The lounge is an elegant and spacious room. It benefits from duel aspect windows and an integral pine cupboard next to the fireplace. The fireplace is made from marble, originally from Ullesthorpe Hall, and is fitted with a Jetmaster open fire. Original pine floorboards have been exposed and beautifully compliment the deep skirting boards bordering the room, where the height is extenuated by the depth of layered Victorian coving on the ceiling. It is a light and airy room benefitting from the internal windows and French doors dividing it from the garden room next door. The basement is directly below the lounge. It is accessed through a door under the staircase and reached by descending another set of steps. The basement provides additional storage and could be used for various purposes. Last, but certainly not least, the garden room is the combined width of the lounge and hall, and allows views of the garden to be enjoyed in all seasons. The opaque roof slants away from the main house, where an exposed brick wall compliments the tiled floor. It is reminiscent of a Victorian conservatory that would have been filled with botanical treasures. At Ash House, this lovely space presently accommodates furniture for semi alfresco entertaining. A country kitchen Fitted with a generous selection of pine, wall and floor units the kitchen has ample space for a breakfast table. The ceiling is lined with matching wood panels and fitted with adjustable spot lights. There are windows on three sides – including one that looks into the garden room – with a separate back door opening into the garden, making this a comfortably light space to work in. The double oven and extractor fan remain and there is space for a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier and fridge freezer. work tops allow ample space for food preparation and appliances, with contrasting tiled areas providing splash backs.

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. Rugby railway stations is within easy reach, with regular high speed trains to London Euston. The nearest airports are East Midlands, Birmingham and Coventry. 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. There is a bus service operating from the village. 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.

‘An impressive family home.’ First Impressions Initial observations of this house establish it as a large, well maintained property. It is set in a generously sized open plan landscaped corner plot amongst similarly appealing homes. Originally built in 1989, it is in a quiet residential development in the Leicestershire village of Broughton Astley. Approached from the road, the block paved drive leads to an integral double garage above which a dormer roof contrasts against elements of darkened boards and white stucco of the main house: an imitation of the classical style of exposed wooden beams and render generally known as mock Tudor. The theme continues with a chimney stack and dark framed casement windows, featuring leaded panes of glass, shadowed under the eaves on the first floor. This is a house of character, reflecting rural values and a nostalgia for buildings of a bygone period. The stylistic features from the front perspective are softened by a very wide front garden consisting of lawns, established shrubs and a pedestrian entrance under an impressive lychgate, leading to the front door and open porch. Here, we have a beautifully positioned detached property in excellent condition. It provides contemporary living complimented with stylish features offering two reception rooms, an open plan kitchen/diner, separate deluxe home office and four bedrooms, two with en-suite. This is a move-in-ready property that has been maintained to a high standard, situated in a superb location. Into the hall On entry a large and central hall creates an impression of space and light, with Amtico flooring, medium oak panelled doors and a contemporary, essentially white colour scheme featuring ceiling coving and painted walls. Turning to the left a carpeted switchback staircase, featuring medium oak newel post, handrail and balusters leads to the first floor. From the hall there are also doors to a cloakroom, both reception rooms and entry through a double door into the kitchen. A wonderful family space The double doors from the hall are directly opposite a set of patio doors in the dining room end of the kitchen diner. This allows light to pour into the hall and permits a glimpse of patio and lawns beyond, attracting the eye to the large kitchen diner that stretches across two thirds of the property and overlooks the rear garden. The dining space is partitioned from the kitchen with a worktop fitted with a wine rack and open along one side, allowing stools to be tucked beneath. So whether sitting here or at a dining table, this arrangement equally provides views of the garden, and accessibility and interaction with those in the kitchen. It is a design feature that fulfils many contemporary family expectations and provides a flexible arrangement for entertaining. In the kitchen area smooth white floor and wall cupboards are streamlined across three walls with integrated appliances, contrasting black granite work tops and lighting at floor, ceiling and workspace height. Similarly, the utility space has been fitted with the same style of cabinetry and provides an additional sink and plumbing to cater for laundry requirements. In total, the integrated appliances include a Kenwood dishwasher, a Rangemaster double oven with extractor hood, AEG coffee making machine and microwave, and fridge. Large white porcelain floor tiles are used to coordinate the dining area, kitchen and utility space that will eventually lead to the back door at the side of the house and beyond to an internal door opening into the integral garage. The reception rooms Leaving the kitchen, the spacious lounge has a double aspect, with a large window looking to the drive and double doors opening to the patio and gardens at the rear. The focal point of this room is undoubtedly the fireplace. A large darkened beam has been set above the exposed brick chimney breast and tiled, open hearth, where a log burner is bordered on two sides with logs. It is a room from which the garden can be enjoyed or to hunker down in to watch a movie or escape the chill of winter in front of a glowing fire. Designed to allow doors to be opened to maximise space but cosy enough to easily keep comfortably warm, this lovely room also has Amtico flooring to match the hall and the second reception room, the study. The study could be used for a variety of purposes – a fifth bedroom if ground floor accommodation was required – and is ideally located next to the cloakroom. And so to dream This property has had the original bedroom spaces reconfigured. It was originally built as a six bedroomed home. This means that there are two rooms in particular that could easily be described as being prime suites, both consisting of bedrooms, dressing areas, air conditioning and an en-suite. The present owners have chosen those above the lounge for their master. It has a duel aspect, overlooking the front and rear of the house. Also looking to the rear garden, the third bedroom has two windows and is presently used in part as an office, with the fourth bedroom immediately next door. In the prime en-suite the white fixtures are complimented with a walk in shower, heated towel rail, and vanity unit, with tiles on the floor and walls in a neutral colour scheme. This selection of fixtures, fittings and colours will be repeated in the second en-suite and in the family bathroom, where there is a shower over the bath and circular railed curtain. All bathing and washing facilities – there are four in total - have white suites and are presented to a high standard. The second prime suite is over the garage and consists of en-suite, dressing area and bedroom, with a skylight and Dormer window being a particularly distinctive feature of the room. The two largest bedrooms have fitted air conditioning units, with the landing and each bedroom having coordinating carpets. The landscaped garden This property allows rooms to be used for different purposes and this trend continues outside where a separate timber clad construction with air conditioning and cloakroom, has been beautifully included into the landscaped garden. An outside office, studio, garden or games room – the choice is yours - this luxurious building can be used all year round and is linked by pairs of double doors to a large, covered decked area surrounding an L-shaped pond. Set in a large garden already amply benefitting from patio area, lawns, trees, established planting and shrubs, this adds another wonderful element for enjoying the benefits of being outside, whether for family or friends. The locality. 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. There are an array of shops, restaurants, cafes and parks, 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 bridal paths. There is something for everyone, whether it be a night class run through the well respected secondary school of Thomas Estley Community College, available to those up to the age of 18, 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.

The Peece is a generously proportioned detached property in the rural south Leicestershire village of Ashby Parva. Situated on Main Street, Ashby Parva is a linear settlement and this lovely house is in the conservation area with the enviable position of being in a central residential location while enjoying views of the open countryside and farmland. It is ideally located for the commuter to travel in any direction and be able to link with one of three major motorway systems – the M1, M6 and M69 – while equally able to pull on a pair of walking boots and go for a ramble along one of the many footpaths crisscrossing the local fields and woodlands. Here, we have a substantial detached country property with generously proportioned rooms offering two reception rooms, an island designed fitted kitchen, utility, laundry room, ground floor cloakroom and integral double garage. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, one with an en-suite and a family bathroom. The Peece is not only plentiful on the inside, its grounds are ample too. This has led the present owners to apply for planning permission to extend the building and explore the possibilities to incorporate significant alterations. Prospective new owners are welcome to view the building plans that have been granted to build a two storey extension that would create a larger kitchen diner, a fifth bedroom and additional en-suite facilities. The Peece is a property already designed with many favourable assets but it has an additional benefit, it has a blue print to potentially become even better in a location and grounds that are highly covetable. Initial impressions There is an open, generous feel about this property with regards to stylistic features and internal layout. It begins with a substantial landscaped front garden incorporating a lawn area, mature trees, mixed planting and wide gravelled drive that sweeps up to the house and the integral double garage to the left. The driveway is accessed through wooden gates and provides ample room for several parked vehicles and wide enough to provide ease for turning cars. The front door of the house is approached through a bordered pathway of trees and adds an attractive leafy perspective to the forward face of the property. Approached from the road, the visitor can appreciate the size and character of this spacious house, set in its own mature gardens. It is built using a lighter shade of brick, with distinctive chimney stacks and large rectangular picture windows, above which the gable ended roof with dormer windows provide extra light and space to the bedrooms on the first floor. All the windows in the residence are double glazed. You are warmly welcome to look around The front door is sheltered from the elements by a shallow porch in the same style as the dormer windows and once inside, the entrance hall forms the central point of the house, to which all the rooms on the ground floor can be entered. It is has a striking glass panelled staircase, with medium oak newel posts and handrail. The hard wood flooring compliments this and the staircase is carpeted. In keeping with contemporary taste, the interior decoration found in the hall and throughout the property favours painted neutral or white walls with feature walls of one shade to form a contrast. This means that alterations to colour schemes can be made quite simply. The curtains, light fittings and carpets are included in the sale of the house. Pots and pans and all those things The large kitchen overlooks the rear garden and has a central island fixture with stools tucked underneath for informal dining. Terracotta floor tiles have been used in this room and the utility room immediately next door. Here, there is additional storage, a separate sink and access to the back and side of the property. Muddy boots or exercised dogs can all be catered for here! The kitchen is amply fitted with white wall and floor units of different kinds for concealed and prominent display - including a wine rack - accessorised with brushed steel handles. Wall tiles in brown and white shades create an attractive under cabinet and splash back feature, while worktops in solid wood match the glass panelled interior doors. It is a well-lit, welcoming space and coupled with the matching utility, is practical and well-appointed. The dishwasher, double oven and fridge freezer can be separately included within the sale if needed. The utility room has a door that leads into the double garage, with separate store space. This means that vehicles can be driven into the integral garage and unloaded into the house with ease by means of an electrically operated garage door. The utility also has an outside door that opens into the rear garden, with close access to a laundry room and second store space. Plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer is in position and both appliances in situ can be included in the sale through prior negotiations if required. The reception rooms The ground floor includes two reception rooms and a cloak room. The latter is entered from an inner lobby and comprises of a two piece white suite: toilet and wash basin. The largest of the reception rooms is the L shaped lounge. The lounge is the width of the house and therefore, has a double aspect: windows overlooking the drive and bi-folding doors opening into the rear garden. It is light filled and its shape and size permits a versatile arrangement of furniture and purpose, with the first part of the room closest to the kitchen door easily able to house a dining room table for more formal dining. It has a rustic brick fireplace with tiled hearth, which is fitted with a log burner. The snug across the hall is certainly a room that could serve a multitude of purposes. Situated at the front of the property and overlooking the driveway, it would make a perfect home office, study or dining room. This completes the tour downstairs and now we can explore the first floor. Come and see the views The homely feel of this spacious house is now continued as you move upstairs and from the top of the staircase see the length of the extended landing. There are four bedrooms on this level and although each has distinctive features, the dormer windows add to the space and light most effectively. The primary bedroom has a private en-suite. The ensuite facilities include a toilet, basin and separate shower. Across the landing there is a family bathroom. This white suite consists of a toilet, basin, and bath with shower. Like the en-suite, the family bathroom is fitted with floor to ceiling tiles in a neutral colour scheme. Bedroom two is impressively large and built above the garage with a double aspect of windows and stunning views over open countryside. There is access to the boarded loft space from this bedroom. The garden This property has a wealth of established shrubs, trees and plants of all kinds. The house is particularly blessed with a substantial garden consisting of paths, lawn, and flower beds, patio and fruit trees. It has been landscaped to include spaces with particular privacy and has provision for storage of furniture and garden equipment. There is a large wood store and stock can be included within the sale if so required. The garden is a valuable and generous component, which perfectly complements this bespoke home and merges into a vista of countryside far beyond its own boundaries. Ashby Parva 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 a half hour drive from Leicester’s city centre. It is in the LE17 postcode district and is a civil parish. The villages of Ullesthorpe, Leire and Bitteswell are close by. It falls within the district council of Harborough and is within easy reach of larger towns such as Lutterworth ( three miles away) and Rugby, all providing a variety of amenities such as edge of town super stores or uniquely bespoke shops. Essentially, Ashby Parva is geographically to the south-east of a triangle of motorway routes. It is west of the M1, with the M6 and M69 providing the potential for speedier travel by road from this central but rural, Midland location. There are two railway stations within easy reach at Rugby and Market Harborough, with regular high speed trains to London Euston and St. Pancras taking a little over one hour. The nearest airports are East Midlands, Birmingham and Coventry. In times past, the Domesday Book of 1086 records Parva Essebi, which is how Ashby Parva was identified. This name means a small settlement or farm by ash trees in the east. In 1277 it was made up of four separate manors and has mention of the unruly behaviour of parliamentary troops during the English Civil War. The local Anglican church of St Peter’s is a grade 11 listed building and can boast of a 19th century rector named William Clement Ley, who with the aid of his Nephoscope became the first man to identify and measure what is now known as the Jet Stream. He was known locally as the ‘weather prophet’ and people came from far and wide to read his weather forecast pinned on the church gates. Today, the village is still basically a linear settlement along a twisting main street surrounded by pastureland. There are fine examples of houses – once thatch rooves but now Swithland slate – from several centuries ago. Ti...

Viewed from the High Street in the Leicestershire village of Husbands Bosworth, this delightful property gives clues to its original function. In a historically central position, this charming residence has maintained its distinctive period features: exposed red brickwork, rectangular sash windows, chimney pots, grey tiled roof and a large, street fronted, original window. This was formerly the business part of the premises. Originally built in 1900, this house was intended to serve as a family home and location for a saddler business. Number ten bears witness to a bygone age when the original owner, Mrs Porter, made, sold and repaired saddles and other leather goods for horses. The cobbled driveway is now screened by a pair of electrically operated gates but once open, it only requires a little creativity to imagine the many owners who led their horses across those stones and into the courtyard at the rear. There is no doubt, this is a bespoke property with regards to space and layout. It is a charming residence that is the product of a merger between traditional aspects of its past and contemporary facets of quality, style and taste. Here, for example, you will find Minton floor tiles and Cole and Son wallpaper, complementing the overall spirit of a home that has been personalised to capture a century and more of country life. The present owners of this property have been in residence for eight years and have nurtured it into becoming a family home that they have truly enjoyed and cared for. It maintains original features pertaining to its turn of the century origins, has had improvements made over the years and still offers huge potential for new owners to add their own touch of originality and style. This is a special opportunity to purchase a traditionally built four bedroom, semi-detached house in central Husbands Bosworth with an annexe facility and without a chain. Superbly located, it is only a short drive away from open countryside or bustling towns. Prepare to be charmed The front door to number ten is an original fixture and once inside, the hallway displays other such period treasures: Minton floor tiles, ceiling coving and skirting boards. The hallway is the central interlinking section of the property and at one time divided the residential side from the saddlery. At the furthest point there is a rear hall, with a floor to ceiling window overlooking the courtyard. The Tapi carpeted staircase has an under stair cupboard and original components: decorative panelling, newel posts, balusters and handrail. It is a welcoming entrance space, from which the lounge, kitchen, pantry and sitting room/play room can be accessed. The kitchen and dining room are towards the rear of the property and overlook the cobbled yard, detached coach house and beyond into the garden. Wining and dining Welcome to this most charming of rooms, where new compliments old! A newly fitted handmade kitchen rests upon an original quarry tiled floor, in an arrangement that provides a central island, ample storage and work preparation space. Decorated walls in Farrow and Ball off black, the cupboard cup handles and tongue and groove cabinetry, all denote the quality and workmanship that compliments the Victorian/Edwardian fireplace, contemporary tiling, and double Belfast sink with pull out spray tap, replacement sash windows and doors. Here, the Flavel double oven with induction hob and extractor fan is included as a fixture; newly purchased in 2020. The pantry is directly opposite the kitchen and contains an original cast iron safe, besides the more obvious shelving! The dining room is similarly styled and has double doors that open into the courtyard. Other than two chandeliers – located in the dining room and primary bedroom – all light fittings are included in the sale. From the dining room, there is a door leading into the generous utility room, which was once a coal house and laundry room. It houses a Belfast sink, newly fitted cupboards and plumbing for a washing machine and vented tumble drier. Luxury vinyl flooring completes this room. The reception rooms Walking back towards the front door the two reception rooms of this lovely property are both at the front, overlooking High Street. To the right, the lounge is a beautifully proportioned room and has an original, working, open fire place and luxury vinyl parquet flooring. Period gems include the skirting architrave, ceiling coving and an original service bell, a second of which can be found in the sitting room/play room across the hall. This room, originally as the saddle shop, had been partitioned by means of a door and boarding. It still has a water pump in situ. With the addition of new doors, windows and log burner, this has become a totally recommissioned space that serves flexibly as a second reception room for all members of the family. Bedrooms and bathroom The homely feel of this spacious house is now continued as you move upstairs. The white banisters lead to a carpeted, upper floor landing. There are four bedrooms on this level. One of them is presently being used as a dressing room and is accessed from the primary bedroom. Both rooms have oak smoked timber flooring. All bedrooms have been fitted with matt black cast iron radiators. There are three double bedrooms and they all have chimney breasts, which makes for a distinctive feature in each. They similarly have ceiling coving and picture rails. The bathroom at number ten has been refurbished by the present owners and has been fitted with a white suite and maintained to a high standard. It has a large, luxurious roll top bath with an end shower tap and chrome lion claw feet. The generous walk in power shower has an independent water tank and a digital control system. In addition to the toilet and vanity unit in the bathroom, there is also a separate washroom that can be accessed from the landing. Shall we investigate outside? The detached coach house is a useful addition to the property, being suitable upstairs for use as a separate guest accommodation, studio or office. It is characterful and fitted with a log burner, storage heating, hot water cylinder and electrical power, including a separate phone line and broadband connection. Downstairs, the coach house can be used as a gym, garage or workshop. There is an outside toilet and period features have even been extended to include this too: the sink is atop a Singer sewing machine table. The lengthy garden has been landscaped to create areas of particular suitability for different members of the family. Besides established hard landscaping, many varieties of plants and shrubs have been nurtured. There is an area with decking and a bar for entertaining, while a section of garden with a timber play house and sandpit will keep the younger members of the household busy. Water and power is available, with outside sockets and provision already made for extra loops if necessary, including an extra fuse board where an aviary was once positioned. There are additional workshops and a tool store at the back of the garden. At the furthest point from the property, ducks and chickens are currently in residence. The garden and its components perfectly complement this bespoke home. 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, recrea...

This delightful house may well have been designed with inspiration from colonial architecture. The notable gabled roof, white rendering, chimney stack, rectangular multi paned windows and pillared style porch combine to create an aesthetically pleasing residence. Traditionally built in 1902 and proving to have stood grandly to the test of time, this charming property has the advantages of an interior suited to modern taste and technology, with the luxury afforded by well-proportioned rooms. Hollyhurst is a beautifully maintained contemporary family home in the south Leicestershire village of Dunton Bassett. This property has been altered and extended to maximise space and offers the versatility of a fifth bedroom on the ground floor which is presently being used as a games room. The overall layout of the rooms creates a contemporary, relaxed ambience, with the added bonus of flexibility. Think about the priorities of a modern home, add ample space and tasteful accessories and you have Hollyhurst. Here, we have a well-constructed four bedroom detached property in excellent condition. It is located on Lutterworth Road, on the edge of the village and sits alongside other bespoke properties overlooking open countryside but within walking distance of the village centre. Downstairs, the house comprises of a kitchen diner, separate utility room, two sitting rooms, study or home office, games room or fifth bedroom, and shower room, with additional cloak room. A hall separates the reception rooms and upstairs, four large double bedrooms, an ensuite and a family bathroom complete the arrangement of generously sized rooms.  Hollyhurst is bordered by open post and rail fencing when viewed from Lutterworth Road and a taller, closed vertical fence to the rear. A spacious, gravelled drive sweeps to the front of the property and leads to a double garage, with covered area for a single vehicle and ample parking elsewhere. The drive is bordered by a landscaped garden that leads to the front aspect. Here, the central door, bay windows and symmetrical architecture with colonial style colonnade are particularly appealing and form the back drop to a lawn that sweeps to the front and side. This is a distinctive property that has been maintained to a very high standard. Culinary delights in the kitchen A low brick wall and steps at the top end of the drive, direct visitors to the main entrance. The front door is accessorised with panels of decorative glass and once inside, the reception hall exhibits interior characteristics that will feature throughout the property. Hollyhurst has been sympathetically decorated to unite original features with contemporary taste; colours, textures and fittings. The hall and subsequent areas forming the ground floor have hard wood and tiled floors Walls are mostly painted in neutral or white shades, with specific walls of one primary colour to accent the owner’s furnishings; they have been cleverly chosen to enable a swift change of colour with minimum disruption. White panelled doors, ceiling coving and subtle lighting highlight the original staircase, which has a handrail, bespoke newel post and galleried landing spindles made from beautifully mellowed walnut. Passing by the stairs, the first large room on the left is the kitchen diner. This generous modern kitchen diner is fitted with glossy white/cream wall and floor cupboards, notably designed without separate handles to present clean, straight lines of fitted cabinetry contrasting with dark worktops and a central island unit and sink. The halogen hob and extractor fan are recessed into the wall, where a white subway tiling splashback provides a stylish touch to the practical arrangement of work surfaces and appliances: dishwasher, ovens, fridge freezer, microwave oven and plate warming drawer are included in the sale. The patio and garden are easily accessible through a double set of doors and whether sitting close by at the table or at the kitchen island on a stool, this functional but lovely room provides a natural point for informal meals looking into the garden. Here, original ceiling roses have been used in tandem with the contemporary pendant lights over the island. Together, they create a bespoke reminder of the unique quality of this house that for over a hundred years has been renovated and maintained to present a beautiful family home equipped to satisfy twenty-first century expectations.   The reception rooms The sitting room across the hall has a large bay window and an open fireplace, fitted with a log burner. It is at the front of the house and provides a cosy retreat for watching the television or entertaining. Immediately next door, there is the room presently used as a games room. This room has the second bay window and provides an important asset with this property; versatility. The games room could easily be adapted to become a dining room or fifth bedroom. As a dining room it is very close to the kitchen and as a fifth bedroom, it has the advantage of being close to a cloak room, with toilet facilities. It is also within a few steps of a shower room which is accessed through the kitchen. The games room easily holds a pool table - with ample space for movement - so would provide the largest of the bedrooms if it was to be used as such by a member of the family or guest who preferred ground floor accommodation. Across the hall, a home office enjoys lovely views of the garden and conveniently, is only a short distance from the kitchen for those all-important coffee breaks.  Crossing the kitchen, the utility room is tucked between the second sitting room and integral double garage. It is fitted with additional cabinetry, a sink and worktops. There is space here for a washing machine and tumble drier. The garden can also be accessed through the garage, providing convenience and security. The beautiful sitting room at the rear of the property is light filled and generously sized. As this is linked to the kitchen by double arch ways, the natural geography of the house leads the two rooms to easily combine, providing a free flow space, perfect for families or larger scale entertaining. There are two entrances into the garden from the sitting room too so the outside space can be combined into the mix when the temperature rises and barbecues beckon.  The spacious bedrooms From the generous living areas of the ground floor, we now ascend the carpeted staircase to the upper level. The first floor has a galleried landing, with double doors opening onto a Juliet balcony. From here, there are views from the front of the property to the open countryside beyond and the staircase benefits from the light pouring down into the hall. Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms. Each room has unique characteristics but they have had features maintained; picture rails, ceiling roses and coving.  Bedroom two has a large fitted wardrobe measuring the entire width of the room and an ensuite facility with walk in shower. Bedrooms one and three are equally spacious with each having windows on two sides of the property. The present owners have used the fourth bedroom as their dressing room. The family bathroom has a separate walk-in shower besides a bath. This means that Hollyhurst has three bathing facilities plus a separate cloak room. They all have white sanitary ware fitted to a high specification and quality, with contemporary fixtures, fittings and tiles, on the walls and floor.   The great outdoors Hollyhurst has landscaped gardens that wrap around the majority of the property. They consist of lawns, raised beds, a large patio and various plots containing perennials, shrubbery and plants of many kinds for different seasons of the year. There are established trees at the furthest point of a rolling lawn and a large shed/summer house accommodates all garden tools at the side of the patio. Double garage with EV charger and car part.   LOCALITY  Dunton Bassett is a small village in the south of Leicestershire, the East Midlands. The Midlands are essentially central to everything in England: airports, motorways and train stations are easily accessible.

Wrought iron gates in a red-brick wall open onto a gravel driveway and there’s a gracious turning circle in front of the house, a triple garage, arched white double doors to the rear of the property and parking space for multiple cars. There’s two front doors – one leads into the entrance hall of the main house and a second studded oak door allows access to a wing of the house currently used as business premises. With a hallway, reception room and cloakroom on the ground floor and three offices above, it has the potential for alternative uses such as extra bedrooms, a granny annexe or as an income-generating rental. The house is nicely presented throughout, starting with the fabulous 17x15ft dining room which is the perfect place for entertaining and has heritage picture rails, a large low window with beautiful views of the village church of St Nicholas – floodlit at night - across the road and a fine fireplace flanked by glazed display cupboards. The glorious high-ceilinged 21x15ft sitting room is entered via the large original door and is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the views of the garden through the bay double doors and windows. It’s the perfect place for the family to get together in the evening, or for entertaining. There’s a light-filled study next to the staircase complete with oak bookcase and ornate shelved archways and, to the other side of the hall, is the kitchen and adjoining breakfast room which extends to a generous 18x24ft and, with the addition of a farmhouse table and chairs, is ideal for informal family meals or for the children to do their homework. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of farmhouse-style units and a range cooker while laundry is taken care of in the adjoining conservatory which has a sink and plumbing for washing machine, tumble-dryer and so on. The conservatory links through to a brick-built wing with a cloakroom/WC and copious storage. Adjoining the triple garage, there’s another brick-built wing of storage rooms and two stables. The current owners kept ponies and there’s a paddock at the end of the garden too. Time for bed . . . Three extremely good-sized bedrooms are located on the first floor. The piece de resistance is the fantastic 21x15ft master bedroom which boasts original ornate ceiling coving, fine moulding above the door, a fireplace and bay window. It’s flanked by two large family bathrooms, both with bathtubs and one with a shower cubicle. The remaining bedrooms both have en-suites – one even has an original corner fireplace. On the second floor is a lovely beamed bedroom, 15x15ft, under the eaves and complete with en-suite bathroom. Garden glories The gorgeous gardens and grounds of The Old Rectory are, without doubt, its crowning glory. Acres of beautifully tended lawns, hedges and borders, shaded in places by age-old trees and intertwined with pathways, lead down to a fenced paddock that’s ideal for ponies. There’s space for everyone and every pursuit here. Loads of lawn for children to run and play, for swings and climbing frames, sandpits, even a croquet lawn. The adults can relax with a post-prandial digestif on the terrace beside the heritage sunken pond and all ages will enjoy a game of tennis on the superb fenced court. The property also comes with its own separate access via a track from Main Street to the gardens, giving a potential purchaser the opportunity to develop the grounds subject to the relevant planning permission. At the far end of the garden, lined with weeping willows, the lake is a lovely tranquil spot to watch the sun go down.

Exciting development opportunity in popular west Leicestershire village. Set amongst a growing number of prestigious homes, Pippin Cottage which originally dates back to the 1930’s represents a rare and exciting opportunity for an aspiring family. Much loved by the current owners for more than 30 years and standing in just over half an acre outline planning consent was granted in 2016 for the erection of a substantial, two-storey replacement dwelling. Set back from the lane at the end of a long drive the property is well hidden and uninterrupted views towards Bradgate Park are a particular feature. As such opportunities are rarely available, early viewing is strongly recommended.
