A useful storage cupboard houses space for a washer and dryer, and the space is finished with Parquet style wood laminate effect flooring throughout and benefits from bi-fold doors and additional windows, flooding the room with natural light.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is positioned to the front and is a well-proportioned double featuring cleverly designed built-in storage around the chimneybreast along with a decorative tiled recess. The second bedroom (currently used as the master) is also a generous double, while the third bedroom is a comfortable single. The family bathroom is stylishly finished and provides a bath with fixed drench and flexible shower heads over, enclosed WC, and a wash hand basin neatly positioned to maximise the space, complemented by white tiled walls.

Planning: - Harborough District Council Planning Application Number: 16/00765/FUL.
A full renovation of the house began in 2016. This included brand new central heating system and Boiler. New glazing throughout to include the doors front and back, Internal Insulation, loft insulation and boarding. The plans that were submitted to Harborough Council were for a double storey extension to the left and a single storey extension to the rear of the property. Only the rear extension (phase one) has been completed as the second extension to the left of the property was intended to be phase two. Planning permission for phase two has since elapsed however we are informed after recent queries that contact the planning department may suffice to reinstate this application given that the plans have not altered in line with the original drawings.
