House For Sale £975,000
Formally the village brewery, serving various Coaching Inns within the village and subsequently extended to the front in the 1780's with further, more recent additions to the rear, this Grade II Listed family home has been significantly upgraded by the present owners in recent years and now provides a stunning family home set on a magnificent plot of approximately 0.58 acres located in the heart of this prestigious south east Leicestershire village.
Location - Great Glen has long been regarded as one of the most sought after locations in rural south Leicestershire. The area is well placed for access to Market Harborough and Leicester city centre, both offering a wide range of shopping and recreational facilities plus mainline railway stations offering access to London. In recent years the re-siting of The Leicester Grammar School has been another major driver for families coming into the area, with Stoneygate School, Leicester High School for Girls and Uppingham and Oakham Schools being within a 30 minute car journey. The area is popular for riding, with an abundance of bridleways nearby, golfing at Glen Gorse and water sports at Rutland Water. Communications are excellent, with the M1 motorway connections at junctions 20 and 21, the M69 via junction 21 of the M1, and for travels further afield via Nottingham East Midlands Airport.
Accommodation - The property is entered via an entrance hall with oak flooring, housing the stairs to the first floor with an understairs storage cupboard beneath. The cosy sitting room has a window to the front, a ceiling beam and fireplace beneath with a feature inset cast iron log burner on a slate hearth and built-in storage cupboards with arches above into the chimneybreast recesses. The family room has an arched chimneybreast recess with an inset cast iron log burner on a slate hearth, a ceiling beam and a built-in storage cupboard. An inner hallway with quarry tiled flooring houses two useful storage cupboards. A ground floor cloakroom with quarry tiled flooring and a small hi-line glass block window to the side provides a two piece suite comprising a low flush WC and wash hand basin. The utility room with quarry tiled flooring and a window to the side provides eye and base level units, oak blockwood worktops, a ceramic sink, a tallboy unit housing the wall mounted Baxi boiler, plumbing for an automatic washing machine and space for a condenser dryer. A rear entrance hall/boot room with tiled flooring and two Velux windows provides fitted cupboards and drawers and has a door to the garden. The stunning, extended living kitchen has four Velux windows and boasts an excellent range of base and tallboy units, ample marble preparation surfaces, an undermounted one and a half bowl sink with mixer tap over, a Belling Range oven with four-ring gas hob, integrated fridge-freezer and dishwasher, a large island unit with feature pendant lighting over providing further storage and breakfast bar space, inset ceiling spotlights and tiled flooring with underfloor heating throughout, a lantern rooflight, two sets of bi-fold doors to the side and further bi-folds to the rear leading onto the garden.

The master bedroom has windows to the side and rear, built-in wardrobes and an en-suite with a three piece suite comprising a low flush WC, an inset wash hand basin with drawers beneath, a shower enclosure with fixed and flexible shower heads, a radiator/chrome towel rail and a window to the side.
