Blake Close, Barrow Upon Soar, LE12

A substantial and beautifully positioned family home, tucked away within an exclusive private cul-de-sac of luxury homes off Cotes Road, in one of Barrow upon Soar’s most desirable residential settings. The property is offered to the market with no upward chain.

A storm porch sits over the front entrance, opening into a welcoming reception hallway where there is a cloaks/wc and the staircase rises to the first floor. Glazed double doors lead through into the dining area, which flows beautifully into the breakfast kitchen through a pair of open archways. This whole area has a natural sense of connection and is filled with light, thanks to four skylights and two sets of double doors opening onto the rear garden.

The breakfast kitchen is an excellent family and entertaining space, fitted with extensive storage, granite work surfaces, a central island with sink and dishwasher beneath, a larder fridge, under-counter freezer, five-ring gas hob with extractor above, double oven and warming drawer. A separate utility room provides space for laundry appliances, a secondary door to the front and internal access into the double garage.

The formal lounge is an inviting and elegant reception room, centred around a feature fireplace, ideal for cosy evenings. A bay window overlooks the rear garden, with further windows to the side elevations creating a bright and airy feel throughout.

One of the standout features of the ground floor is the flexibility of the third reception room. Generously proportioned and fitted with a built-in double cupboard, this space could serve as a substantial family room, home office, hobby room or a fifth ground floor bedroom. It is accompanied by an en-suite shower room, making it ideal for guests, multi-generational living or future-proofing the home.

To the first floor, a spacious landing gives access to four double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes. The principal suite is particularly impressive, with a walk-through dressing area leading into the bedroom, where elevated views can be enjoyed towards the Charnwood Hills and countryside beyond. Windows to the rear and side elevations, along with a double-height ceiling, create a wonderful sense of space and light. The luxurious en-suite includes a double shower, wash hand basin, bidet and WC.

The guest bedroom also benefits from two sets of fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining two double bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. The landing also includes a built-in storage cupboard and airing cupboard.

Outside, the rear garden is a superb feature. Mature, private and set across a wide plot, it enjoys a south-westerly aspect with a patio area adjacent to the house, gravelled sections, planted beds and established boundaries. There is also a timber garden shed.

The property further benefits from a double garage with extra height, electric up-and-over door and wall-mounted central heating boiler.

Blake Close is a location that rarely becomes available. Quiet, private and highly regarded, it offers an enviable balance of village life, space, privacy and convenience. Barrow upon Soar remains one of Charnwood’s most sought-after villages, with a thriving community, independent amenities, schooling, riverside walks, countryside access and excellent commuter links via road and rail. This is a genuine rare opportunity to secure a substantial home in one of Barrow upon Soar’s premier residential settings.

It is worth noting that the planned envelope of the village is due to expand along Cotes Road towards Cotes. Planning permission is yet to be granted with details of the proposed growth to Barrow upon Soar is available on the Charnwood Borough Council Planning portal.
