Waltham Lane, Eaton, Leicestershire

THE NEW HOUSE
Commanding an enviable elevated position above the sought-after village of Eaton, this exceptional country home enjoys far-reaching, panoramic views across the village rooftops and the rolling expanse of the Leicestershire Wolds. Opportunities of this calibre are seldom available; a home where architectural excellence and an awe-inspiring setting combine to create something truly extraordinary.

THE PROPERTY
An outstanding conversion of a former agricultural barn, this remarkable country home presents a seamless fusion of contemporary design and rural character. Thoughtfully reimagined with sustainability at its core, the property showcases cutting-edge features alongside exquisite craftsmanship and refined finishes throughout.

Beyond the entrance, an impressive interior unfolds, revealing a striking ‘grand design’ aesthetic. Expansive glazing frames breathtaking vistas, while a series of fluid living spaces offer both versatility and scale—equally suited to open-plan living or more defined, intimate arrangements depending on individual preference. Extending to approximately 3,700 sq. ft. (GIFA), the accommodation is both generous and adaptable, comprising five beautifully appointed bedrooms. The home perfectly encapsulates modern architectural elegance within a tranquil countryside setting.

ACCOMMODATION
The ground floor is centred around a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and day room—an exceptional space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A separate principal sitting room provides a more formal retreat, while a magnificent galleried hallway creates a striking focal point. Two ground floor bedrooms share a well-appointed ‘Jack and Jill’ en-suite shower room, complemented by a guest cloakroom and a practical utility room.

To the first floor, a galleried landing leads to three further bedrooms and two impeccably finished bathrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a luxurious en-suite bathroom, a dedicated dressing room (with potential to serve as a sixth bedroom), and a Juliet balcony that perfectly frames the captivating countryside views.

OUTSIDE
The property is surrounded landscaped gardens, thoughtfully designed to provide year-round interest and to maximise enjoyment of the surrounding scenery. Generous terraces offer ideal spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation, all set against a backdrop of uninterrupted rural views.

Electric gates give access to a spacious parking courtyard, leading to a detached triple garage complete with EV charging point.
