Description
"F R O M T H E O W N E R S . . ."
What first attracted you to this home?
The space and character. We were downsizing from a much larger home and loved the fact that this was a wing of a converted Hall. The wonderful high ceilings and large windows definitely enhanced that feeling of space for us. We loved the location as well, peaceful but only a couple of miles from Market Harborough, a lovely market town that we’ve long been fond of with everything we could wish for, as well as the rail link to London. Being in reach of a number of airports was an added attraction.
What have you loved the most about living here?
We love the space and light the property affords. The community here, a mixture of professionals and retired people and we all know each other. If we go away for any length of time, it’s been very re-assuring as we know that everyone is caring about everyone else’s property. We’ve loved coming back home to The Hall, too! It’s a very pleasingly aesthetic place to return to after a trip and it’s so quiet and peaceful. The house is warm in winter and lovely and cool in summer due to the French shutters in every room.
What will you miss most about the property?
Gosh, quite a lot! It’s felt so homely for us, the space and light will be hard to replicate. We’ll miss the many wonderful al fresco meals with our friends and family out on the terrace, which we had landscaped and lowered to make it our lovely, little private and secluded spot. We’ll miss breakfasting out on the terrace among the olive, fig and lemon trees we have cultivated, as well. It’s a special place with many special memories for us.
Accommodation
Set within the distinguished surroundings of Oxendon Hall, an elegant country house, converted and re-imagined into a community of 11 bespoke homes in the charming rural village of Great Oxendon, near Market Harborough, this exceptional three/four-bedroom luxury home combines the grandeur of a country residence with the simplicity and convenience of a modern, lock-up-and-leave lifestyle. Beautifully renovated by the current owners, and with approximately 1,800 square feet of flexible space, East Wing presents a unique opportunity for discerning downsizers, ex-pats and busy, commuting professionals, alike.
From the moment you arrive, the sense of proportion is unmistakable. Lofty ceilings, graceful sash windows with plantation-style shutters and generous room dimensions create interiors filled with natural light, while recent improvements with considered design have introduced a calm, contemporary finish that complements the building's heritage, rather than competing against it. The accommodation unfolds across three floors, each designed to offer flexibility without compromising elegance.
The private entrance opens into a welcoming reception hall with high ceiling. Oak flooring adds a touch of warmth, while a guest cloakroom is discreetly positioned to the side.
Steps lead down to the striking kitchen, a bright, high-ceilinged room re-fitted with sleek, contemporary cabinetry, integrated Bosch appliances and stone work surfaces that offer ample space, while shuttered French doors open directly onto the private terrace that provides a seamless extension to the home during the warmer months. Alongside the kitchen is one of the defining spaces of this home, an impressive split-level reception room where a beautifully proportioned dining area overlooks the sitting room where a large bay window with a triptych of tall sash windows frames views of the private terrace and manicured communal gardens, creating a remarkable backdrop for both relaxed, everyday living and entertaining in style.
The first floor continues the sense of space, where a galleried wall landing with bespoke bookcases also adds to the sense of style. The principal bedroom is beautifully proportioned with tall shuttered window, extensive fitted wardrobes and a stylishly re-fitted en suite shower room. A further double bedroom overlooks the gardens, while an additional room offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom, study or dressing room. The well-appointed bathroom features a re-fitted, contemporary suite including bath and walk-in shower. The second floor offers another dimension, currently arranged as a workspace and library it could equally provide a bedroom suite, creative studio or private retreat/snug, with extensive adjoining loft storage.
Outside
Outside, the private gated terrace provides an attractive place for morning coffee, summer lunches or evening drinks, and, opens directly onto the communal gardens. The benefit of a secure, single garage and allocated parking space add further practicality. East Wing will appeal to you if you're seeking to downsize but reluctant to compromise. Retaining the volume, atmosphere and architectural presence often lost when leaving larger family home, yet offers a lifestyle that is both manageable and reassuringly secure without the demands of large house and grounds. It is equally suited as a permanent residence or an exceptional lock-up-and-leave home.
Enjoying a peaceful position in the sought-after village of Great Oxendon, which features The George, (an award-winning restaurant and bar), Waterloo Cottage Farm Shop, (with locally sourced products from Leicestershire and Northamptonshire), a village hall, country walks and footpaths, including the nearby Brampton Valley Way, as well as excellent access to Market Harborough. The town's independent shops, restaurants, theatre and direct rail services to London St Pancras all being within easy reach, make East Wing a home that’s practical and distinctive, where you can enjoy rural tranquillity with outstanding connectivity.
