High Street, Market Harborough, LE16

Situated within one of East Leicestershire’s most desirable villages, this elegant Grade II listed Georgian home dates back to the late 18th century and has been thoughtfully enhanced to offer a superb balance of character and modern-day living. Occupying a generous plot of just over half an acre, the property enjoys mature, private gardens and is offered for sale with no upward chain.

In good order throughout, the home retains a wealth of period character features and offers well-proportioned accommodation with high ceilings and large glazed windows. The property is entered via an enclosed porch leading into a welcoming central hallway. From here, two beautifully proportioned reception rooms sit to either side. The lounge is a superb dual aspect room, filled with natural light and centred around a feature fireplace with open fire, complemented by large sash windows with original shutters and exposed floorboards. Opposite, the dining room provides an equally elegant setting for formal entertaining, also featuring a fireplace, fitted storage, and exposed floorboards.

Continuing through the ground floor, there is a useful cellar providing excellent additional storage, along with a conveniently located guest cloakroom.

To the rear of the property lies the dining kitchen, fitted with bespoke in-frame cabinetry and a range of integrated appliances, including an oil-fired Aga with electric companion. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed, offering a bright and welcoming space for family meals and entertaining, with a walk-in pantry for added practicality and a door leading directly onto the gardens. A laundry/utility room, positioned over the courtyard and connecting to the house, adds further convenience.

Arranged over the upper floors are five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The first floor landing is a generous, light-filled space, ideal as a quiet reading area. The first floor also features a double bedroom with built-in storage and a further bedroom currently utilised as a study, both served by a stylishly refitted family bathroom incorporating a freestanding bath and separate shower.

The principal bedroom is positioned on a split level between floors and provides a striking retreat, complete with a vaulted ceiling, dual aspect windows, fitted wardrobes, and a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens. It also benefits from a contemporary en suite shower room.

On the second floor are two further double bedrooms, both enjoying vaulted ceilings and dual aspects, alongside an additional bathroom fitted with a shower over bath.

The gardens are a key feature of the property, beautifully landscaped and full of established trees, plants, and seasonal bulbs. They offer a variety of spaces for relaxation and entertaining, including multiple seating areas and a terrace with a covered outdoor kitchen. A greenhouse and potting shed provide the perfect space for gardening enthusiasts, while extensive lawned areas and mature planting create a private and tranquil setting. Off-road parking is positioned to the rear of the property and accessed via timber gates.
