Description
Welcome to Avocet House - a modern, four-bedroom detached home located in a secure, gated community. This property offers over 1,900 square feet of practical living space, along with a garage and carport. Planning permission has been granted to convert the carport into a double garage. The home is set within landscaped gardens and enjoys views over open countryside, combining rural surroundings with convenient access for commuters.
Accommodation - As you enter Avocet House, you're welcomed by a double-height hallway with a galleried landing above and a contemporary oak staircase with glass balustrade. From here, you can glimpse the open-plan sitting and dining rooms.
The sitting room includes a modern electric fire set within a media wall and opens through double patio doors onto the garden, offering views across the surrounding countryside. The dining room is accessed via double oak-framed, glass-panelled doors from the hall. It connects openly with the living area but could be enclosed with additional doors if desired.
The open-plan living dining kitchen forms the central hub of the home. It includes a large range of modern units, a central island with integrated wine cooler, and stone worktops. Integrated Neff appliances include a double oven, induction hob, dishwasher, and space for an American-style fridge. A separate utility room provides further storage, appliance space, and external access.
A guest cloakroom with a built-in storage cupboard is located off the main hallway.
Upstairs, the galleried landing extends over 29 ft, adding to the feeling of space. The main bedroom includes a large picture window with countryside views, fitted wardrobes, and an ensuite shower room. Three additional double bedrooms are also located on this floor, one of which has its own ensuite. The family bathroom features a modern suite with bath, separate shower, WC, and washbasin.
Outside - Avocet House is located on the right as you enter this gated community through secure wrought-iron gates. A block-paved driveway provides parking for two vehicles in front of the garage and carport. Additional parking is available through the carport on further block-paved space. In December 2022, planning permission was granted to convert the garage and carport into a double garage by removing the dividing wall.
The rear garden has been carefully landscaped to create a private and functional outdoor space. It features a wraparound patio with a seating area to the side and an additional dining area beneath a pergola. A well-maintained lawn is bordered by established planting beds and garden borders.
Location - North Kilworth is a popular conservation village in the heart of the south Leicestershire countryside. The village has amenities catering for most day-to-day needs, including a garage, The White Lion Public House, a well-regarded eighteen-hole golf course and a nationally renowned hotel and outdoor theatre.
The highly regarded market town of Market Harborough is approximately 9 miles away provides a wider range of shopping and leisure facilities as well as a mainline rail link to London St. Pancras in just under an hour. There are also great commuter links to the M1 and A14.
