Situated within the old part of the village, a stunning and spacious, three/four bedroom detached family home, on a beautiful plot of approximately 0.17 acres.
Location - The village of Houghton on the Hill lies seven miles east of Leicester city centre and enjoys a strong community spirit; unusually for a village of its size, it offers a wide range of local amenities including a village store, post office, hair salon, pharmacy, parish church, two public houses and a popular primary school. The village is surrounded by some of Leicestershire's most attractive rolling countryside with the market towns of Uppingham and Market Harborough only a short distance away.

The sitting room has a uPVC double glazed bay window to the front elevation, a contemporary inset gas fire, ceiling coving, wooden flooring and a further hi-line window to the rear. The living/dining kitchen has a window to the rear elevation and boasts an excellent range of cream fronted eye and base level units and drawers, ample preparation surfaces, metro tiled splashbacks, integrated fridge and freezer, a Stoves Range oven with hob and stainless steel/glass extractor unit over, an island unit houses an inset stainless steel one and a half bowl inset sink and drainer unit with mixer tap over provides further storage and houses an integrated dishwasher; there is oak flooring throughout leading into the living and dining area, with a window to the rear and sliding doors leading onto the patio and garden beyond. A utility room with further storage and a sink provides plumbing for an automatic washing machine.
