Park Drive, Market Harborough

This detached bungalow, nestled in approximately 0.21 acres of landscaped gardens with woodland views of the arboretum beyond and within walking distance of the town, has been extended and the loft converted to provide a rather unique home with four bedrooms, two ground floor and two upstairs and open plan kitchen, family/diner that is ideal for both growing families and downsizers alike.

Accommodation - As you step in through the front door into the hall you will find the cosy sitting room on the right-hand side. A multi-fuel burning stove provides the perfect focal point to relax in front of, while natural light spills through the windows at the front and either side of the chimney breast.

Across the hall is the main bedroom, while at the head of the hall you will find a refitted bathroom featuring a white three-piece suite comprising bath with shower over, WC and a wash hand basin complemented by tongue and groove panelling and subway tiles. Stairs lead up from the inner hall, and beyond here you will find a further ground floor bedroom, (currently used as a dining room).

The open-plan L-shaped living kitchen is very much the heart of this home. Here you will find an extensive range of refitted units providing plenty of storage with ample work surface space above. There is an integrated oven, gas hob with extractor hood over, while the sink has been positioned to provide the perfect garden and woodland view. Further integrated appliances include a dishwasher and a washing machine. The family/dining room area has an orangery-style feel to it and is bathed with natural light. The perfect spot to watch the changing seasons of the arboretum from.

Upstairs you will find two further bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and skylights to the rear. Completing the accommodation is a shower room that features a shower cubicle, WC and a wash basin.

Outside - The block paved front drive provides ample off-road parking and space for a camper van/motor home and leads to the integral garage. Gated access to the side leads through to peaceful landscaped gardens, that enjoy a marvellous woodland view of the arboretum. To the side you will find a brick-built store, ideal for logs, a timber framed shed and a raised vegetable patch. The extensive patio provides space for both seating and dining and offers the perfect spot to entertain friends and family. The lawn sweeps across the rear and round to the sides with shaped bedding borders and in the corner, you will find a summer house, pergola and workshop. All in all, the total plot extends to some 0.21 acres.

Location - Park Drive is a few minutes’ walk from the town centre of Market Harborough, an historic, charming and vibrant market town with a variety of independent shops, boutiques, hotel and restaurants. There is also a mainline rail link to London St. Pancras International which may be reached in just under an hour.
