Glebe House, Long Street, Belton, LE12

Country living with a view. Glebe House is a beautifully individual family home combining character-filled interiors, generous living space and a wonderful garden opening onto uninterrupted countryside beyond.

The Details

Some homes are designed around rooms. Others are designed around the way a family actually lives.

Glebe House is very much the latter.

Built in the early 2000s and offered to the market for the very first time, this remarkable individual home has been created with space, flexibility and family life at its heart.

Set back from Long Street in the sleepy Leicestershire village of Belton, there's a wonderful sense of privacy here. Yet step outside and village life is right there — the local shop, primary school and a proper country pub — while to the rear, the house opens towards fields and countryside.

Inside, there's an immediate warmth that you don't always find in a modern home. Exposed oak, timber beams, brickwork and beautiful natural materials run throughout, giving Glebe House a character that feels as though it has evolved over generations rather than decades.

And then there's the space.

The kitchen and breakfast room is made for the everyday chaos of family life — morning coffee, school bags on chairs and everyone somehow ending up in the same room. Alongside it, the generous dining space flows towards a light-filled garden room, where doors frame the countryside beyond and long Sunday lunches can easily drift into the afternoon.

For quieter moments, the sitting room provides somewhere to retreat, with exposed beams, a fireplace and doors opening onto the garden, while a separate media room gives children — or grown-ups — somewhere entirely of their own.

Upstairs, the accommodation becomes even more flexible. The principal bedroom is wonderfully generous, with its own en-suite and doors opening outside, while further bedrooms provide plenty of room for family, guests and working from home.

But it's the top floor that adds another dimension entirely.

Two substantial vaulted rooms sit either side of their own landing lounge, with exposed beams, timber floors and roof windows drawing in the countryside beyond. Teenagers would claim it in seconds. Equally, it could become a wonderful guest floor, creative space or somewhere for older children to have a little independence without ever being far away.

And then there's outside.

Outside, the gardens turn towards the open fields beyond, creating the kind of outlook that makes you want to throw open the doors whenever the weather allows. A detached garage and generous parking complete what is, quite simply, an incredibly accomplished family home.

Beyond the garden lies a neighbouring smallholding, creating the wonderfully rural outlook seen from the rear of the house. And rather charmingly, your neighbours across the field include the farmer's much-loved herd of cows — the sort of view that makes country life feel like country life.

To the front, a generous courtyard-style approach provides plenty of parking, while the double garage adds another level of practicality.

After more than twenty years in the same ownership, Glebe House is ready for someone new to make it theirs.

Life in Belton

Belton is the kind of village people move to when they're looking for life to slow down a little.

Quiet, characterful and surrounded by Leicestershire countryside, village life centres around the local shop, primary school and the wonderful Queen's Head — the sort of country pub you can wander to for Sunday lunch, a glass of wine or an impromptu evening with friends.

There's a real sense of community here too, with the village school still taking an active part in Belton traditions, including its centuries-old Maypole celebrations.

Yet for all its sleepy village charm, Belton is brilliantly placed for everyday life, with Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Loughborough both within easy reach.It’s a location that offers the best of both worlds — countryside quite literally at the bottom of the garden, yet with East Midlands Airport, the M1 and M42 all within easy reach. And for those wondering about the airport proximity, the property is not positioned beneath the main flight path, allowing you to enjoy the connectivity without compromising the peaceful setting.
