House For Sale £700,000
A spectacular 5 bedroom modern detached family home spread over three floors, to include a stunning open plan kitchen diner and ultra stlish living room, home gym/study, striking master suite, landscaped rear garden and a one bedroom self contained annexe. Finished to exacting standards through out.
Nestled in the parish of Kibworth Harcourt – the history of which was extensively explored in the bbc series, The Story of England ¬– you will find Finch Road, an exquisite detached contemporary home and annexe designed to the highest standards.
Spread over three floors, this fabulous family home features five bedrooms, including a striking master suite, stunning open plan kitchen-diner and ultra-stylish living room, home gym/study, party-friendly rear garden, and of course, a separate one-bed annexe.
A Commanding First Impression
In a quiet residential area on the edge of Kibworth Harcourt, just a short walk from the nearest play park and the local primary school & High School.
Note the sturdy proportions of the red-brick exterior, complimented by the low-box hedge on Cotswold stone, which borders grass lilies and flanks the graphite paving to the front door. There’s parking for four cars on the tarmac driveway to the side of the property, which stops in front of a garage and the annexe’s front door.
Style & Substance
Since purchasing the property in 2011, the current owners have upgraded the interior to a spectacular standard, including renovations to the ground floor in 2015. This attention to detail is evident as soon as you pass under the canopied front door – with glazing to either side – and step through into the bright and beautiful entrance hall.
Here, the gleaming white porcelain floor tiles and crisp white décor act to highlight the utterly gorgeous staircase, only installed in 2019. Crafted by First Steps Designs, it boasts a steel handrail and glass panels finished with solid oak, plus coir matting to the stairs and landing above.
With a cupboard beneath the stairs (including a power-point) for storing coats and shoes and a modern cloakroom with toilet and hand basin where the porcelain tiles continue, there’s a sense of natural progression as you move towards the kitchen.
Fantastic Living Space
First, peer through into the room on your right, currently used as a gym. An orange feature wall and mirroring bring warmth to the wide plank laminate flooring and white walls, while fitted wooden blinds provide extra privacy for the front-front facing window, with radiator beneath. Alternatively, this room could become a cheery home office or study.
Left of the hallway, you will discover a living room where the wide-plank laminate flooring continues. This spacious yet cosy family area benefits from natural light via a front-facing window with fitted blinds and bifold doors to the garden, contemporary hanging ceiling lights, a floating electric fire and space for a wall-mounted TV.
Bespoke Beauty
A walkthrough from the living room sweeps round into the white, spot-lit bespoke kitchen, which extends across the rear of the house and provides access via the utility into the annexe. Two sets of graphite grey bifold doors and a window over the kitchen sink overlook the landscaped garden, flooding this wonderful entertaining hub with light.
The food preparation area contains an excellent range of cupboards and units with brushed stainless-steel handles, providing ample storage for gadgets and pantry supplies. Smoked glass upstands and fitted Silestone worktops form a world of marble in which to lose yourself while exploring your culinary passions – helped along by a double oven and five-ring gas hob, separate large fridge and freezer, and an integrated dishwasher.
However, it’s the fantastic island that dominates here – extending into a fitted dining table made of Scandinavian spekva solid wood and illuminated by atmospheric, low-hanging bulbs. You can easily seat six plus a further two at the main island.
A utility housing the washing machine and dryer, storage and a concealed boiler, lies adjacent to the kitchen. From here, a stable door opens to a linked corridor – where the underfloor heating begins – with a large roof light and porcelain tiles. The linked corridor has a private front door and a further door to the rear, which opens into the garden.
Sweet Slumber
Returning to the hallway, ascend the stairs to the first-floor landing, which like the landing to the second floor, is lined with a Panama new champagne/black coir carpet and white wooden horizontal blinds.
Immediately on your left is the spot-lit family bathroom, which features porcelain floor tiles, walk-in shower, bath with mixer taps and shower attachment, toilet and fitted Iflo Aliano oak vanity unit, as well as a dresser with oval counter-top basin and mirror box. An obscured-glass window with roller blinds provides extra privacy. There’s also an airing cupboard with a substantial water tank and shelving for towels.
The family bathroom serves the two bedrooms directly across from the stairs, which face the property's front and rear. Bedrooms four and five contain two integrated double floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, fitted carpets, and fitted wooden blinds to the front- and rear-facing windows respectively.
Your Private Retreat
Follow the landing round to master suite, which occupies the left-hand side of the house. You’d be forgiven for thinking that you had entered an exclusive hotel apartment as you admire the potential for a king-size bed, sofa and dressing table to rest on the high-quality laminate floor. The laminate extends into a fabulous walk-in dressing area kitted out with three double floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and mirrors, ending arguments over hanging space once and for all.
Continue through into your private retreat – a chic en suite boasting porcelain wood-effect tiles throughout. A walk-in double shower with sliding door, separate bath with mixer tap and shower attachment, fitted Iflo Aliano oak vanity dresser with oval counter-top basin, mirror box and unit for storage, toilet and basin, and a high-output large heated towel radiator complete the suite. Lighting comes in the form of spot-lights and an obscured-glass window with a roller blind.
Another Level of Luxury
An additional staircase brings you the second floor, consisting of two large double bedrooms, a landing area and a shower room. The carpeted ‘teenage’ room has fitted wardrobes, two double wardrobes under the eaves, and fitted white wooden blinds to the front window and a fitted blind to the Velux window. There is also access to the eaves for maintenance through two small hatches.
Bedroom two is a large double with hard laminate flooring and integrated double wardrobes. It is currently being used as a fantastic double office. Fitted blinds screen the front and Velux windows. Serving both bedrooms, the shower room has porcelain floor tiles and includes a basin, toilet and a single shower.
The Annexe
One of main the benefits is the modern and comfortable annexe, which comes with its own entrance and access to the rear garden. It is perfect for multi-generation living as it extends along the ground floor only, while the resident can still easily interact with the main household.
The annexe is open plan and accommodates a bedroom, lounge and kitchen/dining areas – illuminated by a skylight and spot-lights – and bathroom. The annexe is serviced by a separate gas boiler, housed in the adjacent garage. The stud wall between the bathroom and garage could be removed to extend the garage once again should the wish arise.
The lounge has sufficient space for several comfortable armchairs, shelves and a TV area. This looks out through a set of graphite bifold patio doors onto the landscaped garden.
The kitchen area has fitted units, sink with window over, integrated slimline dishwasher, large fridge and freezer, and an integrated oven and induction hob with extractor hood. There’s also room for a small dining table and chairs.
The bedroom area can fit a double bed and comes with integrated wardrobes consisting of a large corner space and a floor-to-ceiling double wardrobe. Plumbing for a washing machine can be located in the wardrobe space.
In the bathroom, you will find a walk-in shower, bath, toilet and basin with storage. The bathroom has an underfloor heating system in the form of an electric mat, with a separate thermostat.
Step Outside
The rear garden has recently been designed and landscaped by Goscote Designs and was created with entertaining in mind. Note the porcelain tiles and edging throughout, while Icelandic pebbles add yet more contemporary character.
Dotted around the garden, you’ll see specially designated areas for lounging and al fresco dining – perfect for those summer BBQs. The careful use of soft planting – including a mixture of low and raised beds with flowers and shrubs – ensures this lovely outdoor space is low maintenance without sacrificing its high-impact feel.
