House For Sale £399,999
Unique and impressive, Witherleigh with its four-bedrooms, two reception rooms and large gardens is the grand old lady of Union Street looking for the next family to look after her.
Nearing the end of a two-year refurbishment the traditional Victorian detached home with characteristic high ceiling rooms has undergone an extensive refurbishment of many original features such as tiled floors whilst effortlessly combining modern facilities such as a new kitchen with underfloor heating, doors and bathroom suites.
Located on a quiet residential street, the town centre’s local shops, parks and other amenities are within a 10-minute walking radius. Market Harborough – only five miles away via the A6 – offers a wider range of leisure, business and shopping opportunities as well as the nearest train station.
The town’s infant/junior schools (some rated “Outstanding”) are within walking distance and a further eight “Good” and “Outstanding” secondary schools are within a 6-mile radius.
The house benefits from gas-central heating via a brand-new combi-boiler, with cast iron radiators being retained in most rooms.
The property is offered with no onward chain.
Front garden
Newly-planted hedges screen the front and side of the house from the road, with a low maintenance gravelled front garden and paved path leading to an open storm porch with an original Victorian tiled floor, lantern light fitting and transom window.
Ground floor
A stained glass wooden door leads to an original tiled hallway with two pendant light fittings, a radiator and plain glazed doors to the reception rooms and kitchen. There is also moderate storage space situated under the staircase.
The bay-fronted living room with original sash windows and two radiators has plenty of room for a three-piece suite and further furniture and features original exposed floorboards and a working chimney with wooden fireplace and mantelpiece.
An exposed brick fireplace with an oak mantlepiece dominates the dining room, which has room to entertain six to eight people around a table whilst leaving room for more furniture. Natural light flows through the traditional French doors which lead to the decking area in the garden and an archway leads through to the kitchen.
The spacious and modern kitchen boasts a variety of characteristic features, and has another set of French doors to the decking area. There is a large casement window to the rear aspect, which again floods the room with light. The bespoke slate grey wooden kitchen with solid wood worktops has an industrial feel, this along with the steel top breakfast bar finishes the picture and comfortably seats up to four people.
A brand-new striking Bush 5-ring gas range is built into an exposed brick chimney with exposed wooden beam. A new Belfast sink, integrated fridge/freezer and integrated dishwasher are fitted. A mixture of recessed lighting and hanging pendant lights illuminate the room. Engineered oak wood flooring with underfloor heating is also fitted throughout the kitchen.
