Contemporary style and lots of space
The beautifully proportioned house with its central front door and symmetrical windows has a block-paved courtyard with surrounding brick wall and space to park three cars. The oil tank for the central heating is tucked neatly out of sight behind a wall.
The front door opens into the light and airy entrance hall with the Hague blue (Farrow & Ball) painted staircase rising to the first floor. The attractive solid oak flooring runs throughout the ground floor, with underfloor heating to keep Hazel Cottage warm and cosy during the colder months. Beneath the stairs is a large cupboard that’s ideal for coats and shoes and there’s a cloakroom with WC that’s been given a contemporary touch with glamorous Emma Shipley wallpaper.
To the left, the door opens into the light and airy living room with an attractive bay window to the front and a feature stone fireplace. There’s plenty of space for the family to relax in this delightful 22x12ft room which is open-plan to the fabulous oak-framed dining room and from there to the beautiful bespoke kitchen.
The dining room has a captivating orangery style, innovatively designed with a pitch roof, solid oak struts and beams, two walls of windows including a floor-to-ceiling panel with French doors that open onto the garden terrace, and more windows in the roof. It’s a fabulously light and sunny room with space to position a super-large dining table and chairs – perfect for family meals or entertaining at any time of the year.
Seamlessly, the dining room flows through to the bespoke kitchen, together occupying a 27ft space across the rear width of the house. Any cook will love this thoughtfully configured kitchen with its contemporary range of pale grey wall and floor-mounted units and grey marble granite(?) worktops. The sink under the window takes in views of the countryside, and there’s a Range-master induction hob and electric oven with a dazzling silver star tiled splash-back. There’s a central butcher-block island, integral dishwasher and breakfast bar – ideal for the kids to grab school-day breakfasts or for the adults to enjoy a cuppa and scan of the daily papers.
A well-equipped utility room leads off from the kitchen and has a sink, plenty of fitted storage, integral washing machine and tumble dryer and space for an American-style fridge/freezer. A door opens onto the garden so muddy children and dogs can be dealt with on return from a countryside ramble before they reach the rest of the house! To the side of the property is additional timber-roofed storage with doors accessing the front and back gardens.
Another reception room is located to the front of Hazel Cottage and is currently used as a snug. It offers flexibility of use and could equally well make a great office, playroom or TV room.
And so to bed, sleepyheads . .
On the two upper floors, the house offers an additional degree of flexibility with six fantastic carpeted bedrooms – all of them doubles and two of them en-suite. Use them all as bedrooms or they offer scope for anything you desire – a gym, office, craft room, nanny accommodation and so on.
On the first floor, the master bedroom is decorated in deep paint tones with matching window shutters, creating an intimate and relaxing ambience. There’s a built-in mirrored wardrobe and en-suite shower room, plus lovely views of the garden and beyond.
There are three further generously-sized bedrooms on this floor, all with built-in wardrobes, plus an ultra-modern bathroom painted deep blue with freestanding bath tub with glamorous silver feet(?), shower cubicle and chic hexagonal wall tiles.
The second staircase accesses the second floor where two good-sized bedrooms lie either side of the small landing. The largest also has an en-suite shower room. Both of the rooms have vaulted ceilings with Velux-style windows and cosy window-seats.
Glamorous garden
Someone with an artistic eye has clearly brought their experience to bear on the rear garden which, being predominatly paved, is easy care and extremely alluring.
Styled as a glamorous outdoor retreat by the current owners, there’s plenty of scope to add your own personality – perhaps by cultivating borders or planting vegetable boxes. Adding a selection of plants and shrubs in chunky pots works brilliantly with the design, while established trees at the far periphery add a little shade. There’s also a substantial timber shed.
Out and about
Nestled in the peaceful countryside of rural Leicestershire, Walton has wonderful walks, cycle rides and pony-trekking on the doorstep – yet it’s only 13 miles into the city centre. It is a sociable village with a packed programme of activities in the local memorial hall such as exercise classes, a mother and toddler group, craft sessions and so on.
There’s a playing field for the youngsters, allotments and the village pub, The Dog & Gun, which is currently closed for refurbishment, is expected to reopen soon.
The village stores at Gilmorton, a mile away, sells the everyday essentials and the nearest primary school, Gilmorton Chandler ce, is found here too and Ofsted-rated ‘good’. There’s also a couple of pubs, while supermarkets and leisure options are located four miles away in Lutterworth.
Communication links are excellent with access to junction 20 of the M1 within 4 miles and the A14 east/west link, eight miles. By rail, London St Pancras is about an hour from Market Harborough and London Euston is less than an hour from Rugby.
The nearest secondary schools are located in Lutterworth with Lutterworth High School Ofsted-rated ‘outstanding’ and Lutterworth College rated ‘good’. Local independent schools include Brooke House Day School, Stoneygate School, Rugby School, Leicester Grammar and Leicester High School for Girls.
Family fun can be had nearby in boats and on walks beside the Grand Union Canal, walking with alpacas and meeting farm animals at Little Fishery Farm or wandering the magnificent Wistow Maze
