THE PROPERTY
With refurbishment and some reconfiguration, The Croft makes for an excellent family home within a short distance of the extensive amenities in both Kibworth Harcourt and slightly further afield, Kibworth Beauchamp.
Entered via a wide reception hall, the principal rooms are located off the central hallway; set to the left is the drawing room, of triple aspect and some 28’ long and having French doors onto the garden.To the right of the hallway, a formal dining room with cloakroom and bathroom off could be utilised as downstairs bedroom. The family room, which is next to the dining room, is very comfortable, with windows facing the back garden, and a door leading through into the kitchen.
The kitchen is also set to the rear of the property, with a door out to a rear porch and views over the garden. Within the kitchen is a traditional gas-fired Aga set into a former fireplace, good range of storage cupboards, a utility room off, and the back stairs leading up to the first floor.
Accessible via the principal stairs off the reception hall, or indeed from the kitchen, the first floor has a total of six bedrooms, four of which are of a generous size, and two large bathrooms.

THE OUTBUILDINGS

THE BOTHY
Next to the main house, The Bothy is a two storey outbuilding that has been converted for use as a studio to the first floor, and storage room / office to the ground floor. With some reconfiguration, this could make an excellent work from home office, small annexe or holiday let subject to the necessary consents.

GARAGING
To the far side of the house, accessed via a pedestrian door to the rear, or from the front off the Leicester Road, is a garage block and workshop, with three garage bays. Stairs rise to the first floor where there is a substantial studio, currently used for storage, extending to some 33’ long at its longest point, and with skylights over introducing light into the workspace. Off road parking is found to the right-hand side of the property in front of a gate leading through to the Bothy and gardens.

THE GARDENS
The gardens are very pretty, primarily laid to lawn with handsome and well-established specimen trees to the edges of the plot. Wide borders are well stocked with colour throughout the year, and gravelled pathways lead to the back of the gardens.
A segregated area has been turned into an extensive vegetable garden, bordered by decorative hedging. To the rear of the plot, against the traditional red-brick wall, is a lean-to, open-fronted brick shed for storage. The existing house, garage and Bothy offer ample opportunity for refurbishment and improvement in their current format, or, given the size of the plot at just over 0.5 acres, there may be an opportunity for further development subject to the necessary consents.
