The Woodlands, Market Harborough

Occupying a superb south facing private plot on one of Market Harborough’s most desirable and established residential roads, this exceptional detached residence has been beautifully maintained and cleverly extended by the current owner to create a home of considerable style and substance. Extending to over 3,600 sq. ft, the property offers a seamless blend of elegant proportions and contemporary design, with a superb open-plan living kitchen forming the heart of the home.

Accommodation - The property is entered into an entrance porch leading to a welcoming reception hall, immediately conveying the quality and attention to detail evident throughout. The principal reception spaces are both generous and refined, including a superb sitting room with double doors opening outside, plus access to the garden room, all enjoying views over the outdoor space. A spacious family room is open plan to a dining room/study which completes the reception rooms.

Undoubtedly the principal feature of the home is the outstanding open-plan living kitchen with vaulted ceiling. This impressive space is beautifully appointed and flows effortlessly and is perfectly positioned to take in views across the rear garden. Integrated appliances include an AEG fridge and freezer, twin Neff combination ovens, five ring gas hood with Miele hood over and a Neff dishwasher. Quartz worktops compliment the contemporary cabinetry and house an undermounted sink. A tiled floor benefits from underfloor heating throughout. A pantry provides additional storage, and a well-equipped utility room, with useful shower, enhances the practicality of the room.

To the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress, with a particularly generous principal bedroom with an ensuite. Three further bedrooms are all well-proportioned, served by a family bathroom, providing excellent accommodation for family life and visiting guests.

Outside - The property sits towards the head of the cul-de-sac, in a private and secluded corner of this most prestigious of roads and is approached via a substantial in-out driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to an oak framed double garage and a large workshop thought suitable for an excellent gym/home office or ancillary accommodation.

The rear gardens are a notable feature, having been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private and tranquil setting, with expansive striped lawns and well-established planted borders. Tall hedges provide privacy, and there are several York stone patio entertaining areas, a water feature, and a fabulous kitchen garden to the side.

Thatched Roof - The thatched roof was replaced entirely in 2021. In addition, there is an extant planning consent to replace the thatch with roof tiles. Planning reference 16/00035/FUL, harbrough.gov.uk
