The White House, Main Street, Lubenham, Market Harborough

Occupying a prominent corner position in the very heart of the sought-after village of Lubenham, this handsome period residence is a home of exceptional scale, versatility and character. Beautifully blending original features with generous, family-focused accommodation extending to almost 5,000 sq.ft. including outbuildings, the property offers a wealth of reception space, five double bedrooms, extensive ancillary accommodation and a range of adaptable spaces ideal for modern family life, entertaining, working from home or multi-generational living, just moments from village amenities and only a short drive from the thriving market town of Market Harborough.

Accommodation - Stepping inside, the welcoming reception hall immediately sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. The principal reception rooms are beautifully proportioned and rich in character, with exposed ceiling beams, brick fireplaces and an abundance of natural light. The elegant drawing room provides a wonderful space in which to relax, whilst the formal dining room is perfectly suited to entertaining. A further sitting room offers a more intimate retreat and links seamlessly with the heart of the home; the superb vaulted breakfast kitchen. Featuring exposed timbers, French doors opening onto the terrace and an excellent range of cabinetry, this impressive space is perfectly designed for both everyday family living and informal entertaining. A useful utility room, cloakroom and rear lobby complete the ground floor accommodation.

One of the property's defining features is its remarkable secondary wing, offering an exceptional degree of flexibility. Currently arranged as a family room, cosy snug, gymnasium and an impressive first-floor games room, this versatile section of the house would lend itself equally well to a self-contained annexe (subject to any necessary consents), extensive home working, a wellness suite or hobbies space. It provides an increasingly rare opportunity for families seeking adaptable accommodation capable of evolving with changing lifestyles or the need for dependant relatives.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the first and second floors, centred around a spacious landing. The principal bedroom is a particularly generous retreat, whilst the remaining four double bedrooms are all well-proportioned and served by a combination of family bathrooms and ensuite facilities. The second-floor bedroom enjoys an elevated position offering excellent privacy, making it ideal as a guest suite or teenager's room. Throughout, the property successfully combines generous proportions with period charm, creating a home equally suited to family life as it is to entertaining, on both an intimate and larger scale.

Outside - Approached via a gravelled driveway providing extensive parking, the property enjoys an attractive frontage enclosed by mature planting, perfectly complementing its traditional, white-rendered elevations. To the rear, the gardens provide a delightful and private sanctuary, thoughtfully arranged with paved terraces ideal for al fresco dining, mature trees, established shrubs and generous lawned areas offering plenty of space for children to play. Sheltered seating areas create peaceful spots to enjoy the surroundings throughout the day.

Complementing the gardens is a substantial detached outbuilding currently utilised for storage, presenting excellent potential for workshop space, hobbies or further ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions. Occupying a central position within one of south Leicestershire's most desirable villages, the property is just a short stroll from the village pub, primary school and picturesque countryside walks, whilst Market Harborough lies only a few minutes away, offering an excellent range of independent shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and direct rail services to London St Pancras in around an hour.
