Hebe House, The Lea is a stunning property, surrounded by rolling fields and a real feeling of space.

This large, seven-bedroomed, detached family home is nestled in 1 acres (approx.) of beautifully landscaped gardens. It has the best of both worlds – it’s away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, yet an easy commute to local towns and the city of Leicester.

The conservation village of Burton Overy has long since been regarded as one of the most sought-after areas within rural south Leicestershire. Surrounded by rolling countryside and in close proximity to Leicester city centre, the village has a church, public house with a good restaurant and an active community centring around the village hall. Market Harborough and the city of Leicester are around ten miles away, both offering a wide range of shopping and recreational amenities and excellent schools are located in close proximity to the village. Local and further afield travel is a doddle with great road and rail links (the train from Market Harborough will have you in London in less than an hour) – and international travel is well catered for from a variety of easily accessible airports. There is an abundance of bridleways nearby perfect for riding, golfing at Glen Gorse is delightful and water sports at Rutland Water cater for the more adventurous among us.

This home is a real find, an opportunity that comes on the market rarely. Built in 2018, Hebe House sits in an exclusive development of two substantial houses, known as The Lea. The architect and developer gave careful consideration to the layout and finish of this exclusive luxury property. Attractive wrought iron fencing frames the front and the electric wrought iron gate opens to a long driveway which sweeps by manicured grounds - each property having its own separate detached double garage, small paddock and useful brick-built store within its landscaped grounds.

Kerb appeal does not disappoint, and those first impressions when pulling onto this expansive plot are not misplaced. With more than ample parking, enter the property through those gates and soak up your surroundings on your approach to the front door. The need to explore things further is a must.

An attractive brick and timber porch houses the front door which opens into the spacious reception hall. From here, the sitting room, dining room and kitchen/dining room with utility room can be found. The hallway is also home to a downstairs WC, large cupboard for all those outdoor bits and bobs and staircase to the first floor. Wooden flooring and oak doors flow throughout, giving a beautiful sense of continuity to this home.

The spacious sitting room spans the whole depth of the property. With its large dual aspect windows, bifolding doors to outside and feature fireplace, it is light and incredibly roomy. There is room for the largest of sofas and entertainment systems too, making this space cool, inviting and perfect for those evenings and special occasions full of entertainment and laughter, whatever the season.

The dining room is offset from the kitchen, making it a really practical, elegant space – perfect for keeping eyes on everyone! Natural light floods the space through bifolding doors giving a spacious, calming vibe ready to be filled with the largest of tables full of good food.

The exceptional kitchen/dining room is the real hub of this home. It really does have the wow factor. Fitted with Laura Ashley hand-crafted units, there is a tonne of storage and the top of the range appliances give a real luxury feel. It’s a great entertaining space and just right for modern family life. The island unit is full of storage solutions and appliances - and that extra seating space gives extra elegant practicality. The utility room, complete with fitted units, appliances and direct access to outside tops off this fabulous space.

Take the bespoke wooden staircase to the first-floor landing full of light and space - totally in keeping with the rest of this home. Neutral tones continue the classic elegance throughout the four bedrooms on this floor, two with en suites, and the family bathroom.

The master bedroom is a substantial size, spanning the depth of the property, with room for the biggest of beds and furniture to match. The dressing room is big enough for even the most well-dressed of us and the well-designed en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower and natural stone bath enhances the space further. Classic décor and beautiful views from the large dual aspect windows give this room a relaxed, calming grown up vibe.

Bedroom two with en suite shower room and lots of natural light through front-facing windows, is another effortlessly cool space in which to bed down for the night.

Bedrooms three and four are tastefully decorated in neutral tones, with views over the rear garden, countryside and beyond – perfect for bedrooms, a nursery or study space.

The fresh, elegant family bathroom with separate shower and bath can keep up with the busiest of morning routines.

From the graceful landing, take the next staircase to the second floor where you will find three lovely large further bedrooms, one with en suite and bathroom. Plenty of storage and oodles of light through the Velux windows at the top of this stunning property create a brilliant space for guests or older children alike.

The outside space around Hebe House is incredible!

The driveway sweeps around to the detached double garage then on to the north east side of the property, through the stunning grounds.

Stepping onto the impressively sized terrace, perfect for summer socialising and al fresco dining, the outside area of this home is a truly amazing space. Bordered by established hedges and trees, there is a real sense of privacy and exclusivity here and the manicured lawns are ready for a slice of the Good Life…
