Description

First Impressions
Located at the furthest point of a private cul-de-sac, this five-bedroom detached property is in a secluded and quiet residential position, away from through traffic and benefiting from being only a short distance away from the many amenities within the lively village of Broughton Astley. Neighbouring houses similarly constructed, the house is on Broctone Drive and is a large executive residence built with traditional characteristics. The interior layout and design elements are contemporary and well maintained, with the spacious open plan kitchen diner being only recently redesigned.
Detached, the property has been tastefully styled to combine tradition with the convenience of modern living. It has two reception rooms, five bedrooms – two with ensuite – a separate family bathroom and a ground floor cloakroom, and an impressive kitchen diner with adjoining utility room. It is a generous home, in a leafy residential area that has been well cared for and offers potential new owners the space to enjoy the provision it affords rather than the necessity of a lengthy to do list.
Conversion potential
Number six is set back from the road and is built overlooking its own open front garden and block paved driveway. Trees, shrubbery and a shaped lawn to one side border the drive leading to an integral double garage. Within, there is a charging point for electric vehicles and ample space on the drive for several cars and turning vehicles. The house can be entered from the garage, and this large space is presently used as a games room, pantry and for storing wine. The garage presents the potential for conversion into a further reception room or downstairs bedroom. Its proximity to the cloakroom would facilitate in an ensuite facility too.
From the garage, access to the main building is through a door leading to the utility room. Another door provides access to the side of the house and rear garden. The rear garden is south facing and has been landscaped to provide privacy. The garden is stocked with many well-established trees, shrubs and perennials of various types. It has been beautifully maintained, with a lawn and patio area close to the double doors opening directly from the kitchen diner. Exterior and interior spaces are seamlessly linked for larger scale entertaining or for quiet, leisurely relaxation. External power points have been fitted in both the front and rear gardens. There is also an external tap in the back garden.
Central entrance hall
Walking beneath the portico, the hall is entered, and the immediate impression is of space and airiness. Medium oak flooring and horizontally panelled doors are the predominant feature, with neutrally painted walls and white woodwork. The carpeted staircase gracefully ascends to a galleried landing and warm light floods into this welcoming space from above.
The interior is complimented by fixtures and fittings that will be repeated throughout the residence to create the contemporary feel of this wonderful home. Flush to the ceiling lights, a neutral colour palette, white coving and white newel post with rake balusters feature strongly to present sleek lines and fresh decoration.
Reception rooms
The spacious lounge towards the rear of the property is clearly the most delightful room to be able to relax in, enjoying views into the garden through a bay window that creates the impression of a sunroom. Here the focal point is a white fireplace with mantel and hearth that beautifully combines the traditional characterful feature of a fireplace with the smooth sleekness of a contemporary equivalent. The lounge is carpeted and has wall lights, with bespoke fit to frame blinds fitted to each pane of the bay window. It is a generously proportioned room and easily accommodates large sofas and chairs.
The second reception room is being used as a home office but is equally able to be converted into a playroom or separate dining room. It is carpeted and has a single window looking to the front of the house. The white fitted cloakroom is across the hall and consists of a toilet and wash basin, with separate coat and shoe cupboard immediately adjacent to it. The remaining two doors in the hall provide access to the large kitchen and dining area.
A recently refurbished kitchen
This kitchen has functionality and heaps of style, having only recently been refurbished with soft close, non-handled high gloss cashmere wall and floor cabinetry. Integrated Neff appliances include a slide and hide oven, a combination oven including a microwave, a warming drawer and convector hob with overhead extractor fan. The kitchen floor is Karndean, concealed double waste bins, and a hot water tap at the sink under the window looking out towards the rear garden. The sink is amidst a run of work top that extends to create a breakfast bar. This is designed to provide a natural point of division in the room, allowing space immediately in front of the double doors opening into the garden for a dining table and sitting area.
The utility room is close by and provides further valuable storage space for a washing machine and tumble drier, with further counter space and second sink for all laundry requirements. This room backs onto the double integral garage and has access to the side of the house and garden. The Worcester boiler is enclosed in matching cabinetry and was fitted in 2023 and serviced in September 2025.
On the first floor
There are five bedrooms in this property and all of them have been fitted with wardrobes and carpets. The master suite above the garage is particularly large. It and bedroom two have private ensuite facilities, including walk in showers, heated towel rails, toilets and basins, with tiling to floors and walls in contemporary styles. The remaining three bedrooms are distinctive in shape and size, overlooking the rear garden or driveway. They are accessible from the spacious galleried landing.
These rooms are within a few steps of a family bathroom that is fitted with a shower over a bath, heated towel rail, basin and toilet. This provides a total of four bathing facilities in this lovely property. All the facilities have been fitted and maintained to a high standard with contemporary white bathroom fixtures, and decorative floor and wall tiles to compliment the spaces.
Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms operate in the house and the attic is boarded, with a light and power sockets. A powerful booster pump housed in the airing cupboard, provides excellent water pressure, even if all three showers are used simultaneously.

Broughton Astley LE9
Broughton Astley is advantageously situated in the south of Leicestershire. ‘Advantageously’ because it is only 9 miles from Leicester’s city centre, 6 miles east of Hinckley and about 14 miles from Coventry. The M1 (junction 20, south, near to Lutterworth and junction 21, north), M6 and M69 maximise the potential for travel by road from this central location.
There is also the train station at Narborough, less than 5 miles away for those who need a more distant commute, with trains running regularly to London St Pancras International.
The bustling village is part of the Harborough district of Leicestershire and although it has existed for centuries, this large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, education and leisure amenities. There are an array of shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes and parks, with the additional benefits provided by a local chemist, GP practice, post office and library. St Mary’s is the parish church and can boast of being officially referenced as far back as 1220.
The locality combines the convenience of such things as supermarkets and the Broughton Astley Leisure Centre, with the valuable appeal of nature reserves and bridle paths. There is something for everyone, whether it be a night class run through the Thomas Estley Community College or a pre-school playgroup. For those requiring primary schools, there are three: Orchard Primary School, Hallbrook Primary School and Old Mill Primary School. The Office for Standards in Education - OFSTED – is best researched to provide a comprehensive review of currently rated standards of practice for all educational providers in the vicinity.
