House For Sale £2,250,000
Are you looking for a unique, character-filled, versatile and spacious eight bedroomed home? Then this is the place for you.
Drive down Uppingham Road, just off from the main road and close to the village, to find this stunning eight-bedroomed family home. This stylish property sits back from the road within its own gated private driveways and garden. Loved by the current owners for over twenty years, there is more than plenty of off-road parking and garages - along with some really wonderful features to explore...
Luxuriously renovated and extended over a period of time, this property is a real find. It has to be seen to be believed. The current owners have been here for 23 years, raising their family and enjoying this exclusive location.
Cotswold Lodge is close by in the ever-popular village of Houghton on the Hill, which has long been noted as an extremely favoured location within Leicestershire. The winding streets are centred around the green and church, with close-by mineral springs and views over the River Sence. Amenities are close by, if not in the village itself and the local primary school is within walking distance. Transport links are good, and with Leicester a mere twenty minutes away, you can have the best of both worlds with so much countryside to explore from your doorstep.
First impressions of this home are absolutely lovely. Leading in from the private driveway, past the landscaped gardens and fountain, to the double front doors, there is tonnes of curb appeal – the urge to explore further cannot be denied. This home has been completely renovated over the years to an excellent standard, whilst sympathetically keeping and restoring key period features. The homes exterior has been built with stone to add a uniqueness to the overall character of the property.
Enter the property through the balconied front doors to set foot in the hallway where tonnes of natural light floods through the space, reflected by neutral décor and fantastic lighting. As you enter you are greeted by a magnificence chandelier above the double staircase to the first floor leads from here, giving a great sense of grandeur and flow. The main hallway also leads to the living room, family lounge, bar, WC, Cloakroom, shower/WC room, dining room/sun lounge and play room. Then on to a further hallway accessing kitchen with pantry, utility room, wet room, a shower room, storage rooms and the garages.. The layout circulates smoothly downstairs, keeping that real feeling of space and opulent luxury.
The gloriously spacious living room, with its triple aspect windows and period features shares wonderful views over the front of the property and beyond. This space gives room for the largest of sofas and entertainment systems, making this space comfortable, inviting and perfect for those evenings in and entertaining. Tastefully muted tones, wooden floors, excellent lighting and a heart-warming log burner add elegance and style.
The dining room is filled with light via its new bifolding doors. There is room for any large table and its proximity to the kitchen and the garden mean that everyone can be kept an eye on during family meals or dinner parties filled with laughter at any time of the year. The sun room is within this space and over looks the back of the garden.
Relax and entertain in the bar, with everything needed for a party! The playroom is a lovely space for getting away from it all. Stunning views through the large windows and french doors over the rear of the property make it the perfect spot for that morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Neutral décor and an abundance of natural light give this room a really elegant, adult feel.
The family room, with its light bright décor, feature fireplace with log burner and light brought in through the generous dual aspect windows is the perfect place for entertaining family.
The recently renovated kitchen is at the heart of this home and a stunning asset to the property. Wood-effect units and granite worktops are accented by the tiled floors and top of the range appliances. The mix of modern tones and classic lines really compliment the original house and natural light floods the space through the large dual windows, giving a spacious, calming outlook. Tonnes of storage, a pantry and a utility room make this an elegant, yet really practical place to be – just the ticket for modern family life.
Take the sensational double staircase to the first floor, where you will find six spacious bedrooms, all with en suite bath or shower rooms. The décor is tastefully neutral, highlighted by the grandest of galleried landings – totally on brand with the rest of this home, whilst great lighting showcases delightful design. Check out the balcony for that added palatial factor.
The master bedroom is a great size. Neutral, opulent décor and tonnes of natural light create a great sense of space in this room. Views from the large dual aspect windows share front and side views of the property and beyond, the room has also built-in storage. The well-designed, lavish en-suite bathroom enhances this space further as it includes a shower and a jacuzzi corner bath.
Bedrooms two and three also benefit from plenty of space for a big bed and have views over the property through a host of windows, creating effortlessly cool spaces to bed down for the night. En suite shower rooms, tasteful decor and oodles of natural light create a lovely airy feel.
Bedrooms four has its own bath ensuite whilst bedroom five and six have en suite shower. All rooms are bright, airy feel and lovely views over the rear garden to greet you through large windows. All have built in wardrobes, giving the most excellent of ratios. The natural light brought by those big windows and polished, bright, luxurious design are just perfect for a child’s bedroom, nursery or home office.
Pop up the stairs to the second floor where you will find three living spaces – one currently being used as a dressing room. There are so many options for this floor, limited only by your imagination but can be used for bedrooms or storage.
Access the annex for even more treasures. Currently housing an office, games room and gym, as well as its own WC, there are options to make this a self-contained area within the home as well as a host of other opportunities for its use.
The gardens surrounding this incredible home are snuggled within this prime, private plot, flanked by fields. With grassed space for fun in the sunshine and paved areas with built in barbeque area for al-fresco dinners and entertaining, formal areas and plots for planting, there is something for everyone here. There is so much opportunity for a slice of the Good Life whilst breathing in that fine country air, why not come explore this property for yourself?
Don’t miss out on the chance to own this remarkable eight-bedroom family home! Properties like this don’t come up on the market often and they don’t stay there for long.
