Here, we have a tastefully constructed 5 bedroom detached property in excellent condition, providing contemporary living complimented with stylish features. It is 4 years old, originally built by Davidson’s Homes and neighbours similar properties in an attractive residential area. It has an open aspect at front and a private garden to the rear.
The house is positioned on the corner of Furrow Way. A private drive sweeps to the side of the property and leads to a double fronted garage, with ample parking in a quiet position. This is a delightful property that has been maintained to a very high standard and would provide immediate satisfaction, rather than an onerous ‘To Do List’ for the new owners.
The tour begins
The sense of light, space and airiness are immediate. The hall creates the perfect welcoming area and leads the eye to the spacious living room on the right. This large, relaxing room is carpeted. It is beautifully proportioned and bright, overlooking and leading to the garden through patio doors. If we turn back to the hall through the double interior doors, the central design features compliment the ambience of contemporary style. Here hardwood flooring, white panelled doors throughout and contemporary light oak staircase, blend classical features and modern innovation. Everything combines together to provide crisp architectural lines and an atmosphere for relaxation.
Practical living is the essence of this property and in the hall there is an unobtrusive storage cupboard, conveniently positioned for … whatever you need it to hide! Across the hall we have the study or playroom or office or games room…the delightful usage and title of this ample space is up to you. However you choose to use this space, the ingenuity of the design here means that the downstairs cloakroom is cleverly and conveniently tucked close by, equipped with a white suite, only a few steps away.
The heart of the home
The ‘wow’ factor of this kitchen and dining area is undeniable. The kitchen is so often the heartbeat of a home and this one is stunning, being both beautifully practical and tastefully stylish. While there is a natural position for a dining table, the overall centrality of food preparation allows for the flow of family or guests to be able to move unhindered, while mealtimes, conversation and hospitality flow.
This open room is a delightful workspace. It has spacious fitted storage units, integrated appliances and a quartz topped island with sink. The 5 ringed hob, double oven, and integrated fridge and freezer are all positioned to maximise efficiency. Who could resist making even a humble sandwich or enjoying a glass of something chilled and not admire the delightful views over the garden? In fact, the focus on hospitality or relaxation, which ever best suits your mood or day, is maximised here.
The ever essential and practical utility room is discreetly accessed from the kitchen. Coordinating cabinetry provides further useful storage, including space for a washing machine and tumble drier.
The outdoor haven
The floor to ceiling bi-folding patio doors from the kitchen to the garden are beyond functional; they provide an impressive feature. The garden and kitchen merge, as an expanse of cleverly designed, landscaped features beckon the visitor to explore the outdoor space. Screened wooden fence panels and maturing trees are providing increasing privacy and creating a private and restful outdoor space that is ideally suited for warmer days and evenings of relaxation or entertaining. The garden is certainly an asset and the difference in ground levels and textures of materials used have provided a delightful extension to the property. This is not just to gaze at, this is to enjoy!
Whether back into the house through the living room or kitchen, the natural geography of the living spaces make this a home suitable for purposeful, private corners of seclusion or open free flow entertaining on a grander scale. The interior is designed to create a relaxed yet refined ambience, only limited by the intentions of the occupants; it’s an accommodating home with spaces that allow flexibility of use and individualism.
To the first level
The carpeted, light oak banister staircase leads to another distinctive attribute of this property; the galleried landing. Here, light floods into the house. The simplicity of the interior glazed windows highlighting the length and height of the floor levels, is a distinctive design element.
Situated at the back of the house, the spacious master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room. This would make a most luxurious and ideally positioned guest room, if you could bear to be apart from it! There are three further bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes. The amply sized family bathroom is wall and floor tiled and has a white suite, while the first floor landing also houses an additional cupboard.
And so to the top
For stunning views of the locality, we climb to the second floor where a large open space is again open to imaginative use. Be it a reading corner, home office, study area or night sky observatory, this area is linked to the remaining bedroom, which has a fitted wardrobe. Usefully, the shower room on this level is accessed by a door from the landing, rather than through the bedroom itself. Even in such small details, this house makes such practical sense!
The locality:
Great Glen 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 6 miles from Leicester’s city centre, 7 miles north of Northamptonshire’s border and 27 miles south of Nottingham. It is in the LE8 postcode district and falls within the district council of Harborough, under the county council of Leicestershire. The towns of Oadby, Market Harborough, Syston, Lutterworth, Uppingham, Oakham and Hinkley are within 15 miles away.
Although Great Glen has the benefit of being nestled by a bypass, it is within a short distance to the A6. The M1 (junction 20, south, near to Lutterworth and junction 21, north), M6 and M69 maximise the potential for speedier travel by road from this central Midland location.
The Midland Main Railway Line runs to the south of the A6 and trains from Hinkley to London, St Pancras run the 89 miles (142 km) regularly. There are normally 70 trains running daily to London, the fastest taking only 1 hour and 12 minutes. The local amenities include shops, parks, pubs, a Post Office and a Co –op store. There is easy access to wider open spaces, with nature reserves and bridal paths within easy reach.
There are schools close by. The Leicester Grammar School Trust consists of three independent co-educational day schools, namely lgs Junior, lgs Stoneygate and lgs Senior. There are also additional primary schools: St Cuthbert’s Primary School and The Stoneygate School. The village community is lively, supporting many activities including a football and cricket club. St Cuthbert’s, Church of England, provides family friendly weekly services and additional provision for children. The local Methodist church offers Sunday services, organises weekly groups for mums with toddlers, a weekly Sunday school and a meeting every alternate week for teenagers.
In the 1086 Domesday Book there is an entry for Great Glen that records the village being surrounded by ploughed fields and having a corn mill. This mill survives as the oldest building in the village. However, the history of the village begins much earlier with archaeological digs revealing Iron Age and Roman settlements. More currently, the red telephone box on the village green has become a listed building!
