Location The property is ideally situated just off the A5 at High Cross and affords excellent commuter links via the M1/M6 and M69. The local market town of Lutterworth is approximately five

miles away and offers a good selection of local shops and amenities. The village itself is set in a quiet little hamlet with a traditional village hall for community events, a local public house, and a sought after primary school.

Ground Floor The property can be accessed via the porch, or alternatively the boot room; both of which are to the front of the property. The porch has double glazed French doors, ceramic tiled flooring and opens directly into the breakfast area of the large open-

plan kitchen/breakfast room. The tiled flooring continues throughout and an impressive brick-built fireplace, housing a double-sided wood burner which creates a superb focal point. Stairs rise from the breakfast area to the first floor. The kitchen

area is fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary units with contrasting work surfaces, exposed ceiling beams, and down lighters. There is a stainless steel range cooker with two ovens and five gas burners, space and plumbing for a

dishwasher and an American style fridge/freezer, and a full height pantry cupboard. Doors lead through to the dining room, the lounge, and the utility room.

The lounge runs the full length of the property and is a lovely, light and airy space with plenty of natural light afforded by multiple windows to three aspects, including a stunning window seat within a deep bay window. A feature stone fireplace houses a

log effect gas fire and creates a warm and cosy feeling to this very large space. Glazed double doors lead through to the dining room which provides ample space for formal dining with double French doors leading out to a lovely covered veranda with views over the

landscaped gardens. A further door leads back through to the kitchen/ breakfast room. The utility room, also off the kitchen, has additional units with work surfaces, a Belfast style sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Doors lead to

the ground floor shower room/WC, the boot room, and to the

outside. The shower room and boot room both have a continuation of the ceramic tiled flooring and the shower room also has fully tiled walls. It is fitted with a white suite including a WC, wash hand basin, and corner shower enclosure with Mira electric shower. First Floor The first floor landing features a circular oriel window to the front elevation and has doors through to all bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom has a range of built-in bedroom furniture and features exposed ceiling timbers, a walk-in wardrobe,

and an open archway through to a further dressing area with a further range of built-in wardrobes. Off the dressing area is an en-suite shower room with WC, wash hand basin and shower enclosure.

French doors also lead out from the dressing area to a balcony which has far-reaching views across lovely open countryside. Bedroom two also benefits from its own dressing area with built-in wardrobes and doors onto the balcony. Bedroom three has a range

of built-in bedroom furniture, including wardrobes and drawers, and features exposed A-frame ceiling timbers and wooden flooring. Bedrooms four and five also have exposed ceiling timbers and are very spacious double rooms. The family bathroom is fully tiled

throughout in neutral tones and is fitted with a traditional style white suite, including free-standing roll top bath with shower attachment, WC, bidet, wash hand basin, separate shower enclosure, and ladder style heated towel rail.

Outside There are formal landscaped gardens with well tended lawns to three sides of the property, all enclosed within fenced

boundaries. A covered veranda with open arches links the indoor accommodation with the garden and provides an ideal year-round outside dining and entertaining space. Off the veranda is a large block paved patio which leads to an

impressive loggia, flanked by specimen palm trees. The rest of the gardens are mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature flower and shrub borders.

Outbuildings The outbuildings include a garage/workshop, measuring 7.30m x 4.50m, with double doors, an inspection pit, a shelved storage area, and power and lighting connected. A second workshop measuring 7.20m x 4.40m with a height clearance of

2.8m is also fitted with three phase electrics and lighting. There are also two enclosed yard areas behind secure gates. In addition to these outbuildings are a stable block and a tack room, ideal for anyone with an equestrian interest.
