High Street, Packington

A Characterful Village Home of Rare Versatility and Charm
Nestled in the heart of the ever-desirable village of Packington, this beautifully extended period cottage offers a rare blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and immense flexibility - ideal for multigenerational living, homeworking, or simply enjoying generous family space (3000 sq.ft inc garage) in a central yet private setting. Offered to the market with no onward chain.

Packington is a charming village nestled in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside, just one and a half miles from the historic market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, which offers a variety of boutique shops and restaurants. At the heart of the village community, you'll find the excellent Daybreak Services village shop, the dog-friendly Poochies of Packington coffee shop, a stunning Norman church, an active village hall, a well-regarded primary school, and the welcoming 17th-century pub, The Bull & Lion. With its strong sense of community and excellent local amenities, Packington is an ideal place to raise a family.

Accessed via remote-controlled electric gates, the property opens to a secure and spacious courtyard offering extensive parking, turning space, and access to a detached double garage. Once inside, the home immediately impresses with its warm and welcoming character, with a winding reception hallway connecting a series of well-proportioned rooms that flow effortlessly from one to the next.

Living Spaces Designed for Comfort and Connection
At the heart of the home lies a stunning open-plan breakfast kitchen and family room, complete with a beautiful inglenook fireplace and exposed cruck beam - a natural hub for everyday family life. French doors open to the sunlit courtyard, while the adjoining sitting and dining room, with its elegant period-style fireplace, are flooded with afternoon light thanks to their westerly orientation.
Additional ground floor accommodation includes a guest cloakroom, a practical laundry room, and a separate boiler/boot room - perfect for country living.

The Annexe Wing: Connected Yet Independent
A particularly exciting feature of the property is the separate wing, accessed via a glazed conservatory with twin French doors opening into the gardens and courtyard. This section offers the potential for a fully self-contained annexe, ideal for a dependent relative, guests, or home office. The existing layout comprises a large ground floor reception room (with space to create a kitchenette if desired), and a substantial double bedroom with en suite bathroom above.

First Floor
The main staircase leads to a spacious first floor landing where you'll find three beautifully proportioned double bedrooms, each with their own character and charm. The principal suite features a vaulted canopy ceiling, dual-aspect windows with lovely village views, and a spacious full en suite bathroom complete with bath, oversized shower enclosure, vanity unit, WC, and bidet. A separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

A Private Haven in the Village Heart
Outside, the landscaped rear gardens have been thoughtfully designed for both ease of maintenance and maximum enjoyment. A gravelled terrace leads to a large, paved seating area framed by mature shrubs and borders, offering a peaceful and secluded outdoor retreat. A charming arched gateway reveals a hidden kitchen garden with raised vegetable beds, greenhouse, and space for a barbecue or garden bar - perfect for relaxed outdoor entertaining.

This wonderful home combines heritage and modernity in a way that few properties can match - offering space, flexibility, and privacy in a thriving village community.
