The Situation

Great Glen has long been regarded as one of the most sought-after locations within rural south Leicestershire. The area is well placed for Market Harborough and Leicester city centre, both offering a wide range of shopping and recreational amenities. In recent years the re-siting of the Leicester Grammar School has been another drive for families coming into the area with Stoneygate School a short walk away and Leicester High School for Girls, Uppingham and Oakham all within a 30-minute car journey. The area is popular for riding with an abundance of bridleways nearby, golfing at Glen Gorse and water sports at Rutland Water. Communications are excellent with Leicester city centre four and a half miles to the north and nine miles to Market Harborough. By road the M1 motorway connections are at junctions 20 and 21, with the M69 connecting via junction 21 to the M1. International air travel is well catered for at East Midlands Airport, Birmingham, Luton and Stansted. Both Leicester and Market Harborough offer mainline rail travel to London St Pancras International, the latter in approximately one hour.

The Property

Chesterfield House is a handsome village home full of character, occupying a prominent position within the centre of the village and overlooking The Green. Listed Grade II, the property retains many original features throughout such as beamed ceilings, feature fireplaces, and well-proportioned rooms. Modern, yet in keeping interior additions have been incorporated overtime, making a wonderful family home.

Approached through double timber doors via an inner glazed doorway, the welcoming reception hall has a beautiful solid oak herringbone flooring with a set of stairs rising to the first floor with various doors accessing the reception rooms. The immaculately presented accommodation to the ground floor has a warm, inviting feel, with a traditionally styled hand-built kitchen with granite worksurfaces, kitchen island, and a gas fired Aga. There is plenty of room for living and dining options with the open fireplace a focal point. A useful utility/ boot room is located next door to the kitchen, with easy access to the driveway and adjoining double garage. The reception rooms are all of a good size, with the sitting room enjoying the warmth of a woodburning stove and pretty arched recesses to each side. The sitting room free flows via a set of bi-folding doors, through to a second reception room with an original feature fireplace, which is currently used as a playroom, but could suit use as a formal dining room or snug. The re-fitted guest cloakroom with tongue and groove panelling, completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the exquisite principal bedroom incorporates a fabulous dressing room with bespoke wardrobes and a central island and leads to the well-appointed ensuite shower room with double shower enclosure and twin heritage wash hand basins. The luxuriously appointed family bathroom is uniquely split level, has a contemporary freestanding bath, dressing table, a double walk-in shower enclosure and wash hand basin set into a large vanity unit. The three further well-proportioned bedrooms are set over two floors, with each room having been thoughtfully presented with its own charming décor including bespoke fitted wardrobes to two rooms.

Outside

Chesterfield House is approached over a pathway flanked by box parterre with a mature wisteria framing the front door. It has an ample cobbled driveway set in front of a double garage with complimenting timber doors. The garage allows access to the rear garden through a personnel door and a further interior door accesses the utility room. The quaint, rear gardens are private, with plenty of areas for seating, and a range of mature trees, shrubs to the borders and a neatly tended lawn. The garden is completely enclosed by brick walling and currently incorporates a barked play area and space for a useful garden shed.
