Located in the prestigious southeast Leicestershire village of Burton Overy, this beautifully renovated five-bedroom former farmhouse exudes timeless charm and refined comfort. The versatile accommodation presents an opportunity for an annexe or multi-generational living, subject to planning consent, and the property is well placed for commuters with Market Harborough train station less than a 15-minute drive, providing access to London St Pancras in under an hour.
An inviting entrance hallway welcomes you into the beautifully appointed accommodation. At the heart of the property lies a spacious dual aspect living dining kitchen, featuring bespoke handmade cabinetry, an aga, and a large central island. A casual fitted study area and a seating area surrounding an open fire add to the cosy ambience. Opening onto a dining room with bifold doors leading to the paved terrace and pool, it’s perfect for family gatherings and entertaining guests. A well-proportioned study provides an ideal workspace for home workers, while a relaxing garden room offers serene views over the walled garden. Additionally, a formal sitting room and games room provide dedicated spaces for relaxation and leisure. The games room, alongside the garaging and workshop beyond, provides significant flexibility and potential for conversion into an annexe for multigenerational living. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a conveniently located shower room, perfect for poll changing, as well as a spacious utility room.
On the first floor, the dual-aspect master bedroom offers uninterrupted views over open countryside and Burton Overy village, positioned to create a master wing. It features an adjacent four-piece bathroom that includes a freestanding bath, while bedroom five serves as a dressing room. Additionally, a dual- aspect guest room with its own ensuite bathroom, along with two further bedrooms that share access to an additional bathroom.
The property is accessed via a long gravel driveway, providing ease of movement and adding an attractive design element. Continuing to the rear of the house, the drive leads to garaging for three vehicles and additional storage. A beautifully planted walled garden provides a private and tranquil retreat, while a side garden with an orchard offers views over the open countryside beyond. At the rear of the property, a sheltered landscaped terrace features a heated swimming pool, creating a fabulous outdoor space.
