This spacious detached family home offers flexible living space with the added benefit of full planning permission to extend and create your own dream home to over 2,600 square feet of luxury living. Sat within a mature plot of approximately 0.30 acres in this highly desirable village on the Leicestershire/Northamptonshire border, offering excellent access to both road and rail commuter links.

Accommodation - A welcoming hall with block wood flooring greets you as you step in through the front door. To the far corner, beneath the staircase is a handy guest cloakroom refitted with a contemporary suite. To your right is the snug, which could serve as a study/home office or ground floor fourth bedroom.

To the left of the hall is the L-shaped, open plan sitting and dining room which is bathed in natural light through the large front window and the bi-fold doors to the rear, which in turn leads to the conservatory that offers an attractive view of the garden. Block wood flooring continues through the living space while an exposed, reclaimed Yorkshire brick raised hearth and open fire provide the perfect focal point.

The dining kitchen feels bright and spacious and has been refitted to provide an extensive range of bespoke cabinets with plenty of storage space. Integrated appliances include double oven, fridge and freezer, microwave, and electric hob, with plumbing and space for a dishwasher. There is access to the patio from bi-fold doors to the rear and a door to the side, which along with the window that provides a view of the garden, allows for plenty of natural light.

Upstairs the sense of space continues with three good sized double bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes, and one with Karndean flooring. A re-fitted family bathroom features a contemporary suite comprising a free-standing bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside - The attractive, and deep, front garden is set behind a stone retaining wall with a block paved drive to the side of the manicured lawn providing ample off-road parking and leading to the garage.

The mature, landscaped rear garden features an extensive patio terrace with areas for sitting, relaxing and dining bordered by a low-level retaining wall with steps leading to the lawn. Beyond the extensive lawn you will find a small orchard and behind it is an area that offers the ideal space for a kitchen garden or chicken run. There is a clearing at the top of the garden which would lend itself to a garden building, home gym or office (subject to any necessary planning consents).
