An individually designed and beautifully appointed 4 bedroomed detached family house forming part of an exclusive development of four bespoke homes built in 2012 close to the heart of the highly desirable east Leicestershire village of Billesdon.

The spacious lounge has a feature stone fireplace and French doors leading out to the rear gardens. The living kitchen is superbly appointed and of excellent size with wooden working surfaces incorporating a feature central island and quality appliances, with a fitted utility room off. Also to the ground floor there is a family room, home office/hobbies room and cloaks/w.c.

To the first floor off a generous galleried landing, the principal bedroom has built in wardrobes and en-suite bathroom, two bedrooms and superb family bathroom. Offering potential as a separate annexe, there is a large study area which leads to a further bathroom and bedroom 4.

Outside there is an extensive brick block paved area to the front and side of the property providing off-road parking for several cars, and there is a large single garage with internal door to main accommodation.

The attractively landscaped gardens include an extensive stone paved patio area immediately to the rear of the house, with lawn, raised flower and shrub beds and fenced boundaries, with a further area of garden to north east side of the house, mainly lawned with a paved path.

Location - Billesdon is one of east Leicestershire most desirable villages surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside with Rutland Water and its many leisure pursuits within easy reach. the village is situated approximately 9 miles from both Market Harborough and Leicester and approximately 15 miles from the M1/M69 junction at the busy Fosse Park shopping centre. Half hourly trains run from Market Harborough direct to London St Pancras, the fastest taking less than an hour.

Billesdon maintains all the charm and features associated with a rural location, however, the village has many amenities, including two public houses, the Queens Head has a thriving restaurant serving traditional pub food and the New Greyhound Inn serves a variety of ales. There is a comprehensively stocked village shop specialising in local produce, including bread, meat and fruit and vegetables. There is also a doctor's surgery, two hairdressers, various accredited therapies and a village managed post office.

A mobile butcher and a mobile fishmonger visit the village once a week and a fish and chip van calls twice a week on a Wednesday and Saturday. The purpose-built Coplow Centre offers sports facilities, including tennis, badminton and five-a-side football outdoors and badminton and table tennis indoors. The main hall has a fully equipped stage and hosts musical concerts and drama events. There is a variety of day classes available from Bridge to Zumba. The location is also used for wedding receptions and other social gatherings. There is also an active parish church of Saint John the Baptist.

Billesdon has a village primary school with a good standard of state secondary education available in Uppingham, Kibworth and Oadby. The area also has a wide range of private educational options for both day schools and boarding schools.

As a location, Billesdon is handily placed for Market Harborough, which is an extremely popular small town offering all the usual supermarkets, cafes and larger chain stores but includes a wide range of boutiques, artisan and farm shops etc. The fast train links to London makes it a very popular area for commuters.
