Horninghold Road, Hallaton, Market Harborough

Welcome to Cow Close Barn — an exceptional barn conversion, completed in 2014, that seamlessly blends contemporary comfort with timeless character. This distinctive home offers three generous double bedrooms, a striking double-height reception hall, a cosy sitting room with a multi-fuel stove, and a versatile study that can serve as a fourth bedroom on the ground floor. The open-plan kitchen and dining area features bespoke cabinetry, while outside, a double garage and beautifully landscaped gardens provide both practicality and charm. Perfectly situated in the heart of the Welland Valley, it’s an ideal retreat for those seeking a luxurious, low-maintenance lifestyle.

Accommodation - Stepping through the oak-framed front door, you are greeted by a breathtaking double-height reception hall, where exposed oak beams and a vaulted ceiling frame a magnificent oak staircase with glass balustrades, leading to the galleried landing above.

To the right, a spacious sitting room has rich oak floorboards and a striking herringbone brick feature wall behind the multi-fuel stove. Sunlight streams through the front facing windows, while a charming brace-and-latch door in the corner opens to a versatile room, perfect for use as a study, snug, or ground-floor fourth bedroom.

Across the hall lies the open plan dining kitchen, showcasing an extensive range of bespoke cabinetry and stone worktops. A generous central island, complete with a ceramic double Belfast sink and integrated Neff dishwasher, provides both style and functionality. There is ample space for a range-style oven and fridge-freezer, and an oak-framed glass façade with double doors floods the space with light while offering direct access to the garden.

Adjacent, the utility room mirrors the kitchen’s craftsmanship with matching cabinetry and stone surfaces, as well as plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. To the left, a contemporary ground-floor shower room features built-in storage, a walk-in shower, a Duravit WC, and a wash hand basin set within a sleek vanity unit. The utility also connects to the double garage, fitted with twin electric roller doors and rear access to the garden.

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to the master bedroom, where exposed oak beams and a vaulted ceiling frame an oak-framed glass façade, bathing the room in southern light and offering serene garden views. Discreet storage is thoughtfully integrated into the eaves, along with built-in cupboards flanking a lobby to the ensuite, and one housing the high-pressure unvented cylinder. The ensuite impresses with its dual-access walk-through shower, Duravit WC, and vanity-set wash basin.

Two additional double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, share a beautifully appointed family bathroom, complete with a free-standing bath, shower cubicle, WC, and wash hand basin.

Outside - A block paved drive to the front provides ample off-road parking, flanked by post and rail fencing and brick wall. The rear garden enjoys a southerly aspect and has been landscaped to create an extensive paved patio terrace with space for dining and relaxing and lawn with mature bedding borders.
