High Street, Great Glen, LE8

A well-presented three/four bedroom detached home on the High Street in Great Glen, finished to a high specification throughout and offered with a detached garage, and landscaped gardens.

GROUND FLOOR

The entrance hall is a generous space, with an arched window to the front aspect and a bespoke glass stair feature wall, custom designed and installed. A ground floor WC sits off the hall, along with a purpose-built wine room with glass doors — a notable feature positioned at the entrance.

To the front of the property is a versatile reception room, currently used as a cinema room and fitted with solid wood flooring and Fraser James custom shutter blinds. This room is also listed as Bedroom 4 and could serve equally well as a home office or guest room.

The dining room to the rear has been fitted with new black aluminium bifold doors opening directly onto the rear decking, with the indoor-outdoor flow making this a practical entertaining space in warmer months. The room features handblown glass and brass Nkuku light fittings and a bespoke storage wall, which conceals the boiler, coat hooks, and shoe storage.

The kitchen and living area form a single open-plan space at the heart of the ground floor. The kitchen features a large island with integrated storage and seating for two, a Rangemaster double chrome oven, space for an American-style fridge freezer, and a washer dryer. A new dishwasher is to be installed prior to completion. The living area is separated from the kitchen by a large corner sofa and includes an electric built-in fireplace with adjustable colour settings. All bifold and patio doors are fitted with Fraser James black electric remote-controlled blinds.

FIRST FLOOR

The first floor landing provides access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom is a well-proportioned room to the rear. Bedrooms two and three sit to the front. All upstairs windows are fitted with Fraser James wooden shutters, and the flooring throughout is Karndean Van Gogh — a hard-wearing luxury vinyl with a wood-effect finish. The family bathroom is a generous size with both a bath and separate shower.

OUTSIDE

To the side is a shared driveway leading to parking for two vehicles. To the rear, the landscaped garden includes a decked terrace directly accessible from the dining room bifold doors, with shrub borders and a mix of seating and decorative stone areas.

The detached single garage has electrics installed and is currently in use as a home gym. To the rear of the garage is a small area of additional land with potential to extend the garage footprint, subject to the usual consents - suitable for a larger workspace, gym, or ancillary accommodation. Removal of the garage would also allow for increased driveway parking.

GREAT GLEN

Great Glen is a well-regarded village in south Leicestershire, situated approximately six miles south-east of Leicester city centre. The village has a strong local identity and supports a good range of day-to-day amenities, including a primary school, convenience store, public house, and church. The High Street itself forms the core of village life and is well-regarded as an address within the village.

Road connections are good, with the A6 providing a direct route into Leicester and access to the wider motorway network, with the A47 also providing eastward connections toward the A1. The village attracts strong demand from buyers looking to combine a village lifestyle with practical access to Leicester, Market Harborough, and beyond.
