Woodgate, Rothley, LE7

Tucked away off Woodgate in the very heart of Rothley, this remarkable 5 bed detached residence offers a rare lifestyle opportunity; a home that feels wonderfully secluded, yet places the best of village living just steps away from your front door.

Rissington House, commissioned in 1939 by a skilled local joiner, takes its name from the beautiful stained glass windows that originate from Rissington in the Cotswolds. Set in approaching 0.4 of an acre, this distinguished home is coming to the market for only the fifth time in its 87-year history, a testament to both its enduring quality and the deep affection it inspires.

Hidden from view and often unnoticed even by long-time residents, the property is approached via a private shared driveway. Surrounded by generous mature gardens and ample parking, it immediately impresses with its timeless character, from the original front door framed by stained glass to the charming period details that greet you inside.

The ground floor is designed for relaxed living and sociable entertaining. At its heart is a beautifully appointed kitchen which flows seamlessly into a bright oak-framed orangery, an exceptional entertaining space where bi-fold doors open onto the garden, creating a natural extension between inside and out. The kitchen itself is both stylish and practical, perfectly suited to those who love to cook and host, with generous cabinetry, wood block worktops and a suite of quality appliances.

Two formal reception rooms provide flexibility for modern lifestyles, cosy evenings by the fire, productive home working or peaceful reading spaces overlooking the mature garden setting. A laundry room and a separate WC complete the thoughtful ground floor layout.

Upstairs, natural light pours across the landing through a traditional stained glass window. The principal bedroom offers a tranquil retreat with high ceilings, fitted wardrobes and a bay window framing garden views, complemented by a spacious en-suite. Two additional double bedrooms share a stylish family bathroom, while the second floor provides a superb guest or teenage suite, a private haven with its own shower room alongside an additional versatile bedroom.

Outside, the grounds create a true sanctuary. Expansive lawns framed by mature hedging and trees provide privacy and calm, while a summerhouse, greenhouse and dedicated BBQ terrace provide inviting spaces to enjoy long afternoons and evenings with family and friends. Planning permission for a two-storey double bay garage offers exciting future potential (P/25/1850/2).

What truly sets this home apart is the lifestyle it delivers, and its position within the thriving village of Rothley which has been featured as a prime village in The Times newspaper. Highly regarded for its strong sense of community and picturesque village centre, Rothley offers an appealing blend of heritage charm and everyday convenience. The village boasts a variety of independent shops, welcoming pubs, quality restaurants, cafés and a village green. Close to several reputable schools, local services and excellent road and rail links place Leicester, Loughborough and beyond within easy reach. Surrounded by attractive Charnwood countryside with scenic walking routes and bridleways close by, this is a setting that perfectly balances rural tranquillity with connectivity. Rissington House is a home that harmonises privacy with convenience, heritage with modern living, and seclusion with the energy of village life, a truly rare offering in one of Charnwood’s most desirable locations.
