Description
Council Tax Band: C
Situated in the sought-after village of Markfield, this charming three-bedroom detached home offers a perfect blend of character features and practical family living, with exciting scope for further development.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway showcasing original 1920s chequered flooring and a beautiful solid oak staircase, immediately setting the tone for the character found throughout the home. The ground floor comprises a bright and inviting living room, featuring a large bay window to the rear elevation and original tiled detailing, creating a warm and homely feel.
To the rear, the living room provides an excellent space for entertaining, enhanced by its own bay window and direct access into the cosy conservatory. The conservatory can also be accessed via the fitted kitchen, making it a versatile additional reception area overlooking the garden — ideal for relaxing or hosting guests.
The fitted kitchen offers ample storage and workspace, with a practical layout and convenient access to the rear of the property.
To the first floor, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from original floorboards, built-in wardrobe space, and a double-glazed window overlooking the rear garden. Bedroom two is a comfortable double room with a double-glazed window to the front and carpeted flooring, while bedroom three, also front-facing, provides a great single room or home office space. The family bathroom is fitted with a shower over bath and includes a double-glazed window to the rear.
Externally, the property truly shines. The generous rear garden is a real sun trap, featuring a patio seating area and a well-maintained lawn — perfect for families and outdoor entertaining. To the front and side, a driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
A standout feature of this home is the previously granted planning permission for a two-storey side extension, with footings already in place, offering fantastic potential for future expansion. Additionally, the property benefits from a garage to the side elevation and a versatile outbuilding currently used as a studio, ideal as a home office, gym, or creative space.
Markfield is a highly regarded village location, offering the perfect balance between countryside living and excellent connectivity. Surrounded by open green spaces and the scenic Charnwood Forest, the area is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor walks while still being within easy reach of everyday amenities. The village benefits from local shops, pubs and schooling, along with a friendly community feel.
For commuters, Markfield is exceptionally well positioned, with convenient access to major road networks including the M1, M69 and A50, making travel across the Midlands straightforward. Leicester city centre is approximately a 20-minute drive, while both Leicester and Loughborough train stations provide direct links to major cities including London and Birmingham.
Additionally, the ever-popular Fosse Park shopping destination is within a short drive (approximately 10–15 minutes), offering a wide range of retail, dining and leisure facilities, making this location both practical and desirable for modern living.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful detached home with development potential in a desirable location — early viewing is highly recommended.
