The Situation
May Trees is situated on the edge of village of Great Oxendon, which contains both a church and a public house. The town of Market Harborough is some 3 miles away and contains a comprehensive range of shops, commercial centre, theatre, leisure centre and golf club. Both the City of Leicester and the town of Northampton contain an extensive array of leisure amenities and thriving shopping centres. Water sports are available at the Pitsford Reservoir and Rutland Water.
Communications to the area are excellent. The A14 is approximately 3.5 miles to the south with M1 and M6 to the west providing good motorway connections. There are mainline rail links from Market Harborough and nearby Kettering to London St Pancras.
The area offers many sought after preparatory schools, Maidwell and Spratton nearby, whilst secondary schools are available at Guilsborough, Rugby, Uppingham, Leicester and Northampton.
The Property
May Trees is wonderful village home full of original character and much potential. Many original features have been retained throughout including casement windows, an inglenook fireplace with flanking cupboards, beamed ceilings and dark wood timbered floor to the first floor.
The accommodation to the ground floor has a warm, inviting, cottage-like feel, with a traditionally styled hand-built kitchen, with gas fired Aga, and a similarly sized utility/ boot room next door with semi-vaulted ceiling. The reception rooms are all of a good size, with a large south facing conservatory on the rear of the house giving views over the gardens to the rear.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom with dual aspect has an en-suite shower room and range of large hand-built floor to ceiling height wardrobes, and three further bedrooms, and a large family bathroom.
The property has an attached annexe, accessed via its own front door, offering a kitchen/living room to the ground floor, and stairs rising to the first floor where there is a bedroom and separate bathroom.
Outside
Set behind timber gates, May Trees has ample gravelled parking, with a turning area, small brick built shed, and garaging with double timber doors and additional storage for bikes. The southerly facing gardens are very private, with plenty of areas for seating, and a range of mature trees to the borders, some fruiting, including horse chestnut, copper beech and a number of other varieties. The gardens offer a tranquil setting, each area having its own charm, with flowering perennials, mature shrubs and a wooded area to one end, where there is a storage shed and composting site.
