From the moment of arrival, the home makes an immediate impression, enhanced by a beautifully maintained front garden that speaks to the care and pride with which the property has been enjoyed.

The accommodation opens through a welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the space and quality that follows. To the front, a superb sitting room offers a more formal place to unwind, ideal for quieter evenings or entertaining away from the hub of the house. A separate study provides excellent flexibility for those working from home, whilst a guest WC and utility room add further practicality to the ground floor.

Undoubtedly, the heart of the home is the magnificent open-plan kitchen, living and dining room. Extending to over 30 feet in length, this is a truly impressive space, designed around the rhythm of family life and effortless entertaining. Bathed in natural light and opening beautifully onto the garden, it offers an atmosphere that is both sociable and serene. The kitchen itself is finished to a high standard, with sleek cabinetry, generous preparation space, a central island and premium touches including an instant hot water tap, creating a setting that is every bit as functional as it is stylish.

The bedroom arrangement has been thoughtfully designed to provide both comfort and versatility. The principal bedroom is a particularly generous retreat, complemented by a dedicated dressing room and en-suite shower room, giving it the feel of a true suite. The remaining bedrooms are all well proportioned and ideal for family members, guests or adaptable use, with fitted wardrobes in rooms adding valuable built-in storage and enhancing the sense of order and practicality throughout. A stylish family bathroom and an additional shower room serve the upper floors beautifully, ensuring the home functions with ease for larger households.

Outside, the landscaped rear garden provides an attractive and well-considered extension of the living space. It is a garden made for both enjoyment and ease of maintenance — perfect for summer dining, family gatherings, or simply relaxing in a peaceful outdoor setting. Altogether, the house offers that rare balance of scale, flexibility and finish, wrapped in a setting that is ideal for family life. The Drive can easily accommodate 4-6 cars. There is also a useful shed/store as a lean-to, adding further convenience.

A particularly appealing feature is the converted garage, now used as a gym/studio with underfloor heating. This valuable space lends itself to a wide variety of uses, whether fitness, hobbies, a creative workspace or additional lifestyle accommodation. Importantly, it could easily be converted back into a garage if required.

Great Glen continues to be one of South Leicestershire’s most sought-after villages, combining a strong sense of community with everyday convenience, well-regarded schooling and excellent accessibility. It is a setting that appeals equally to families and professionals, offering a lifestyle that feels both connected and calm.
