5 bedroom detached house for sale

Impressively tasteful
Mossdale is a modern English country home, filled to the brim with features combining traditional and contemporary elements. It is the result of a complete rebuild and remodelling. Constructed in 1970 the original bungalow has disappeared. The grounds now showcase an executive five- bedroom house with many stunning bespoke components, the grand design project brought to completion by the present owners of eight years. Their vision worked in tandem with the expertise of architects at NJW design and incorporates an iconic feature window, vaulted ceilings, an open landing and Canadian cedar cladding combining with the white render on the exterior. Indeed, the onlooker would easily believe the property with its distinctive grey graphite windows and hip and valley roof is a new build and essentially it is: windows, wiring and heating date from 2022. It is the outcome of a hugely reimagined, extended dwelling that has been equipped to a high specification, in a highly sought after location.

The versatility of the layout
This detached house is situated on the desirable, Forest Drive in the exceedingly popular Leicestershire village of Kirby Muxloe. It is in a quiet residential part of the village, with a backdrop of established trees, gardens and bespoke properties within the conservation area known as Kirby Fields. Exclusively designed, the detached house has spacious reception rooms that flow from a central hall featuring a beautifully engineered oak and glass staircase from Boss Stairs. All internal doors are made from solid oak.
Presently used as a games room, the first reception room is at the front of the house and leads to a large lounge, then through to the dining area linked to the kitchen, and back to the entrance hall. A secluded garden and outside patio can be accessed through three bi-folding doors that merge the indoor and outdoor entertainment spaces of the property, providing a versatile and inclusive arrangement for entertaining.

A ground floor bedroom with en-suite
There are five bedrooms within Mossdale, and they all have television and internet points. The first two are on the ground floor and provide a private suite of separate rooms that provide excellent accommodation for guests or family members requiring a ground floor sleeping arrangement with the benefit of a degree of privacy or self-sufficiency. The largest bedroom has a private suite incorporating a sitting area, en-suite, walk in wardrobe, storage and cloakroom.
The remaining bedroom is presently used as a gym but could serve multiple purposes such as a study, nursery or dining room. On the first floor there are three bedrooms – two with en-suite – along with a family bathroom.

Kerbside appeal
Mossdale is presented with contemporary exterior characteristics reminiscent of Scandinavian lodges. With white rendering, cedar cladding, dormer windows and a bespoke apex window, it sits atop a wide drive flanked with shrubbery and majestic trees that further complement its appearance. The open drive leads to a double garage to the right and sweeps up to the main house. It is large enough to turn or park vehicles easily. Within the detached garage, there are multiple power points and lights. From the drive to the left there is a single door to the office, permitting a convenient working space away from the main house. The utility room can be entered from the study and within it the central Comms Cabinet houses the connections to the wired television and data points including the bedrooms, reception rooms and kitchen.
A NEST ring system and CCTV are in operation.

Come on inside and take a look around!
By entry from the drive via the composite glass paned front door and porch, the house opens into a welcoming hallway. Here the interior design theme and colour palette is established: smooth textures in light filled open spaces, complimented with natural materials or single featured colours to create impact. Contrasting LVT floors feature throughout, and underfloor zoned heating is controlled by an app.

Entertaining and relaxation
The reception rooms provide options! You have the blueprint for contemporary design, allowing flexibility of purpose and a versatile arrangement of furniture. Simply put, there is so much potential to use these beautifully proportioned rooms to best fit your style of entertaining or fulfil the needs of everyday living. Combined, they provide the perfect space for large scale parties but indeed can be closed off to provide separate rooms with separate purposes.
The living room is the width of the property and has a multi-fuelled burner. A rustic mantel shelf and brick hearth create a central focal point and with dual aspect windows, parquet wood effect LVT flooring and music drifting in from the Sonos speakers wired into the kitchen, dining area and garden, the room is a haven for relaxation.
The kitchen and dining room are stylishly designed. Shaker style grey fitted floor and wall units are across two walls, providing ample preparation surfaces and circling a central island unit. Neff appliances were newly fitted in 2022 and those included in the sale are a hob, extractor hood, oven and dishwasher. Other items such as the wine and American style fridge can be negotiated for inclusion. A white butler sink, tiling and pendant light fitment create a delightful central hub, and it seamlessly merges into the dining area. Here, a vaulted ceiling, electrically operated Velux windows and Sonos speakers create a wonderful space for formal or informal meals. Curtains, fitments and light fittings can be negotiated over in the sale of the property.
The utility room provides ample space for all laundry needs with additional work tops, storage and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble-dryer. This room has tiled LVT flooring and a side door accessible from the garden.

Upstairs we go
The spacious feel of this impressive house is now continued upstairs. The stairs lead to an upper floor LVT landing where the proportions of the grand apex window, frames a seating area, providing light and warmth. A major attribute of this property is that the linking spaces such as the hall and landing are beautiful spaces in their own rights, not merely corridors leading to other rooms. The landing provides a distinctive design feature and a wonderful upstairs sitting room.
There are three unique bedrooms on this floor, all generously proportioned and two with en-suites. Carpeted and with multiple skylights including Dormer style windows, the rooms are decorated in a contemporary style and present well.
The three en-suite facilities-sink unit, toilet and walk in shower-cloakroom and family bathroom are fitted with white fixtures and maintained to a high standard, with wall and floor tiles. They have been decorated with individual characteristics but have been selected with high quality as standard.

And lastly…
