From both Leicester and Market Harborough mainline rail stations connect with London St Pancras International, the latter taking just under an hour. International air travel is available at East Midlands Airport, Birmingham, Stansted and Luton.The Property
The Property
Having been in the hands of the same family for some fifty seven years, Leadclune Court represents an excellent opportunity for the discerning purchaser to create an exceptional village home.
Requiring refurbishment, the property is set over three floors: the attractive accommodation has pleasing proportions, with tall sash windows, detailed cornicing and traditional features retained to a number of the principal rooms, and a beautiful continuous handrail rising to the first floor, with the recently restored low rise tread staircase. Original flagstones are found to the entrance hall whilst red quarry tiles are found in the kitchen.
The drawing room, light with an open fireplace and large bay windows, overlooks the rear garden, with a door leading out. A wide archway leads through to a second sitting area, which in turn has double doors through to the formal dining room, also with a large bay window overlooking the garden, as well as a fireplace inset with a log burner.
The kitchen, which sits at the heart of the house, is traditionally styled, with a good range of fitted units, Aga and utility adjacent. Elsewhere to the ground floor is a study, family room with doors out onto the rear garden and an inner hall gives access to an attached cottage which can be entirely independent from the main house.
From the central hall stairs rise to the first floor, to a wide landing and corridor, off which there are four bedrooms, a dressing room, two bathrooms and a second staircase leading down to the rear hall.
On the upper floor are four further bedrooms and a large family bathroom.
The Cottage
Immediately adjacent to the main house stands the cottage which can be entered either independently through its own front door, or via a connecting hallway from the principal house. Also, in need of refurbishment, the cottage comprises kitchen, sitting room, three bedrooms and a bathroom.
OUTSIDE
Walled to the front, Leadclune Court offers driveway parking for several vehicles with space to erect garaging (subject to the necessary consents) if required. A pedestrian gate leads through to the adjacent courtyard off which The Cottage may be accessed.
To the rear of the property mature and private gardens span the width of the house and beyond primarily laid to lawn with mature specimen trees to the boundaries. Rambling roses and clematis frame all rear windows, with variated shrubs and scented herbs grown in the borders and to the edges of two terraces. To the rear of the gardens is a small paddock.
THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS
Adjacent to the principal house is a rare and exciting opportunity for conversion and development of agricultural buildings; with planning permission to create three dwellings. These are a range of two storey barns and outbuildings listed Grade II, of red brick under slate roof set around a traditional cobbled courtyard enclosed by a red brick boundary wall.
