Kennel Lane, Witherley, CV9

Carters Estate Agents are delighted to present this beautifully appointed four-bedroom semi-detached character cottage, occupying a superb position in the heart of the highly desirable village of Witherley and enjoying wonderful views across the surrounding Leicestershire countryside.

Originally forming part of the historic Witherley Kennels, the property was comprehensively reconfigured, extended and transformed by renowned local developer Swift Homes, creating an exceptional family residence that successfully blends the charm and individuality of the original building with the comfort, specification and energy efficiency expected of a modern home.

Approaching the property, its characterful appearance and attractive village setting create an immediate sense of arrival. A bespoke hardwood entrance door opens into a bright and welcoming hallway, where the quality of finish and thoughtful attention to detail are immediately apparent.

The ground floor provides an excellent balance of defined reception rooms and open-plan family living. To the front is a comfortable sitting room, a warm and inviting space centred around a feature media wall with mounted feature fire and television mount, with bookcases and storage on either side.

A separate study provides a valuable and increasingly desirable home-working space. Bespoke fitted bookcases have been introduced, creating both practical storage and an attractive feature within the room. Depending on the purchaser’s requirements, this versatile space could also serve as a playroom, snug, reading room or occasional guest room.

A convenient guest cloakroom / WC completes the accommodation towards the front of the property.

Moving through to the extended rear section of the home, the accommodation opens into an impressive L-shaped kitchen and dining room, designed to form the sociable heart of the property. Generous proportions provide ample space for both cooking and dining, while extensive bi-folding doors fill the room with natural light and create a seamless connection with the garden and countryside beyond.

The kitchen itself has been finished to an exceptional standard, fitted with a comprehensive range of modern country-style shaker cabinetry featuring soft-close doors and drawers. Quartz work surfaces complement the units beautifully, while an inset Belfast sink reinforces the quality and character of the design.

A substantial collection of integrated appliances includes a built-in fridge and freezer, Bosch eye-level double oven, five-ring gas hob, dishwasher and drinks cooler. A breakfast bar provides additional preparation space and informal seating, making the kitchen equally well suited to busy family mornings and relaxed entertaining.

Adjoining the kitchen is a well-planned utility and boot room, fitted with further cabinetry and coordinating work surfaces together with an additional Belfast sink. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, while fitted bench seating creates a generous and practical area for coats, shoes and everyday family storage. A door provides direct access to the garden.

Underfloor heating extends throughout the ground floor, ensuring the accommodation remains warm and comfortable while allowing the rooms to retain their clean and uncluttered appearance.

Ascending to the first floor, a beautiful galleried landing provides access to four well-proportioned bedrooms, each retaining a sense of cottage character while benefitting from the standards of a modern conversion.

The principal bedroom is a generous double room and enjoys the added benefit of a high-specification en-suite shower room, fitted with a mains-powered shower and contemporary sanitaryware.

Bedroom Two is the largest of the four bedrooms and has been further improved with the installation of fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage while preserving the generous floor space. The remaining two bedrooms are both well proportioned and offer flexibility for children, guests, dressing space or additional home working.

The family bathroom is modern and spacious, fitted with a white suite, fully tiled surrounds and a separate mains-powered shower enclosure, creating a practical and well-appointed space for family use.

The home combines its characterful appearance with an impressive specification and strong energy efficiency. Modern double glazing is installed throughout, with gas-fired radiators serving the first floor and underfloor heating across the ground floor. Further features include a comprehensive burglar alarm system, sensor lighting, external spotlights, pendant lighting above the breakfast bar and an outdoor electricity supply and EV charger.

Externally, the property benefits from excellent off-road parking. A generous gravelled driveway provides space for approximately four vehicles, complemented by an attractive front lawn and paved pathway leading to the entrance.

The rear garden is a particular highlight and as well as the open views to the rear, a generous paved terrace sits immediately beyond the bi-folding doors, creating a natural extension of the kitchen and dining room and an excellent setting for outdoor meals, entertaining and summer evenings.

Beyond the terrace, the garden is principally laid to lawn, featuring established flower beds which introduce colour, maturity and interest throughout the seasons. At the foot of the garden, a dedicated seating area has been created, providing a peaceful position from which to enjoy the open outlook.

A stock fence marks the rear boundary, preserving uninterrupted views across the adjoining paddock and surrounding Leicestershire countryside while maintaining a clear division between the garden and the land beyond.

Witherley itself is a particularly attractive and well-regarded village, centred around the Church of St Peter and its distinctive tall steeple. Witherley Church of England Primary School sits alongside the church, while the popular Blue Lion public house provides a traditional village focal point. The River Anker follows the edge of the village, and the surrounding countryside offers an abundance of rural walks and footpaths.

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire an individual and beautifully finished family home, combining historical character, modern efficiency and generous accommodation in one of the area’s most desirable village settings. The impressive kitchen and dining room, four-bedroom layout, landscaped garden and open countryside outlook create a home of genuine quality and lifestyle appeal.

Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the craftsmanship, setting and accommodation on offer.
