High Street, Barrow Upon Soar, Loughborough

Rezide Estate Agents is proud to present The Haven — a truly enchanting and beautifully extended three-bedroom detached cottage, quietly tucked away in the very heart of Barrow upon Soar. This idyllic home perfectly blends character and charm with thoughtful modern updates, creating an inviting and versatile living space ideal for families, couples, or anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in one of the village’s most sought-after locations. Set back from the hustle and bustle, The Haven offers privacy and tranquillity, yet remains just a short stroll from the village’s vibrant centre and amenities. From the moment you arrive, the property’s unique charm is immediately evident — from its picture-perfect frontage and stunning wrap-around garden, to the carefully curated interiors that feature a separate lounge and dining/snug room, a stylish kitchen diner, and both a ground floor bathroom and upstairs shower room. Upstairs, three well-appointed bedrooms offer restful spaces full of character, while outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens offer multiple seating areas, bursting flower beds, and the perfect backdrop for relaxing or entertaining. Homes of this calibre and location are exceptionally rare to the market — The Haven isn’t just a house, it’s a warm and welcoming home in a storybook setting.

Tucked away in a peaceful position, The Haven is approached via either High Street or Shooting Close Lane off Beveridge Street, where the vendors currently park. As you arrive, you are welcomed by an exquisite private garden — a picture-perfect scene reminiscent of a biscuit tin cottage. An overhead porch and striking red composite front door lead you into the home, where every detail has been carefully considered.

Upon entry, the inviting hallway boasts tiled flooring, tastefully decorated walls, original wooden doors, and a charming staircase that winds gently upwards. To the left, you’ll find the lounge — arguably the highlight of the home — featuring chevron wood-effect floors, an exposed brick fireplace with an oak mantel and log burner, and built-in storage on either side of the chimney breast. Dual aspect windows bathe the room in natural light, creating a warm and relaxing ambiance.

Continuing through the hallway, a door leads to the versatile dining room/snug, which enjoys underfloor heating and seamlessly connects to the stylish kitchen diner. The kitchen features elegant grey shaker-style units, wood-effect work surfaces, beautiful tiled splashbacks, a Belfast sink, and space for an American-style fridge freezer. An original cast-iron fireplace adds character, while French doors open onto a raised decking area — perfect for alfresco dining.

Off the dining area/snug is a large pantry, a utility room/ ground floor bathroom with tiled floors, a fitted bath, and space for a washer and dryer. There is also a separate WC for added convenience.

Upstairs, the bright landing leads to a luxurious shower room, fully tiled from floor to ceiling and equipped with a vanity unit, WC, and Victorian-style radiator with towel rail. The master bedroom offers lush carpeting, exposed brickwork, dual aspect windows, fitted wardrobes, and a charming fireplace — all combining to create a tranquil retreat. Bedrooms two and three are both generously sized doubles with tasteful décor, original features, and lovely views of the garden.

Externally, the enchanting wrap-around garden offers several raised decked seating areas, beautifully kept lawns, and mature flowerbeds filled with established plants and shrubs — creating a private sanctuary in the heart of the village.

Ideally located just moments from Barrow upon Soar’s excellent amenities — including pubs, restaurants, shops, doctors, and pharmacies — this property offers a rare blend of village life and contemporary comfort.

Unique and rarely available, The Haven is more than just a house — it’s a home.
