The Maltings, Sileby, LE12 7WX

A home with history, character and a completely individual feel. This beautifully converted Grade II listed Victorian property offers three floors of spacious and versatile accommodation, combining the architectural appeal of a period building with the convenience and comfort of modern-day living.

Set within a conservation area in the popular village of Sileby, this is certainly not your typical three-bedroom home. The character of the original Victorian building gives the property a real sense of identity, while the thoughtful conversion has created a layout that works brilliantly for modern life. Whether you are a professional couple looking for something a little different, a family wanting space to grow into, or a downsizer who isn't ready to compromise on character, this is a home with plenty to offer.

Step inside and the ground floor immediately introduces the generous proportions found throughout the property.

At the heart of this level is the open-plan kitchen and dining room, creating a fantastic everyday living and entertaining space. There is plenty of room to gather around the table, host friends and family or simply enjoy a more relaxed style of day-to-day living, with the open-plan arrangement making this a particularly sociable part of the home.

A useful ground-floor WC completes this level.

Moving upstairs, the first floor provides another dimension to the accommodation and is where you will find the property's main lounge. Positioning the living room away from the kitchen and dining space creates a completely separate area to unwind, giving the house a versatility that more conventional layouts often struggle to provide.

Across the three storeys are three genuine double bedrooms, making the property equally suited to family life, visiting guests or those needing space to work from home. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while a separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

What makes the accommodation particularly appealing is its flexibility. With the living spaces and bedrooms spread across three floors, different areas of the house can take on different roles as life changes – whether that's creating a dedicated home office, guest accommodation, children's space or simply having somewhere quiet to escape to.

And while the interior provides the character, the outside space adds another important lifestyle feature.

To the front is a garden, providing a space to sit outside, entertain and make the most of the sunshine throughout the day. For a converted period property, having your own garden makes this home even more appealing.

Parking is also taken care of, with two allocated parking spaces situated within the residents' car park.

The Location
Sileby has become an increasingly popular Charnwood village, and it's easy to understand why. It offers the convenience of everyday amenities while retaining a strong village feel, with local shops, cafés, pubs, schools and services all close at hand.

For those who enjoy getting outdoors, the surrounding area offers plenty of opportunities for countryside walks and cycling, while nearby villages including Barrow upon Soar, Mountsorrel, Quorn and Rothley provide even more places to eat, drink and explore.

Commuters are particularly well catered for. Sileby railway station provides connections towards Leicester, Loughborough and Nottingham, with onward services to London, while the A6 and A46 are both readily accessible. East Midlands Airport is also within convenient driving distance.

For us, though, the attraction of this property goes beyond its practical credentials. Homes with genuine individuality are increasingly difficult to find. Here you have the history and presence of a Grade II listed Victorian building, the character that comes with a period conversion, three floors of flexible living space, your own south-facing garden and allocated parking – all within one of Charnwood's best-connected villages.

If you're looking for something with a little more soul than the average modern home, this one deserves to be seen.
