Description
Tucked away along a tranquil village lane, this beautifully presented four-bedroom semi-detached period home offers generous and versatile family accommodation arranged over four floors. Brimming with character and original features, it is a rare opportunity to enjoy village life in a truly unique setting.
Accommodation - This delightful village home is entered through a solid wood front door beneath a leaded window into an entrance hall with exposed beams, which sets the tone for the home's characterful interior. A tanked cellar has been cleverly converted to provide additional living space, currently serving as a games room but equally suited to use as a study, snug, or playroom. It is accessed directly from the entrance hall.
The kitchen, with views to the front, features exposed ceiling beams, a range of base-level units topped with oak worktops, a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer, and a practical pantry cupboard. The tiled floor adds rustic charm. A rear lobby leads to a large storage room housing the wall-mounted Ideal boiler, with additional doors and a window facing the front elevation. A separate cloakroom includes a low flush WC and a wash hand basin.
The dining room, complete with exposed beams, has glazed doors that open out to the rear garden, perfect for entertaining. The sitting room features a brick fireplace, built-in shelving, a cast iron radiator, exposed ceiling beams, stripped floorboards, and open out into a delightful, bright sunroom with direct access to the rear garden.
A landing with a built-in storage cupboard leads to the main bedrooms and a staircase to the second floor. A bedroom to the front of the property benefits from windows to both the front and side elevations, built-in wardrobes, exposed beams, and original floorboards. A second bedroom also faces the front, with exposed beams, original floorboards, and a useful storage cupboard. To the rear of the property are two further bedrooms, with the smaller ideal as a guest room or study. The family bathroom is well-appointed with a panelled bath, a wash hand basin with a vanity cupboard beneath, a low flush WC, a double shower cubicle, and a built-in airing cupboard. Stairs rise up to the second floor where there is a charming loft room, currently used as a flexible living space, with exposed beams, two Velux-style windows, eaves storage, and plenty of natural light.
Outside - To the front, delightful cottage-style gardens enhance the home's kerb appeal, with a former off-road parking space that could be reinstated (subject to consents). The rear garden is private and thoughtfully landscaped with cobbled and paved seating areas, a charming water feature, mature planted borders, and attractive walled boundaries.
Location - Shearsby is a highly regarded south Leicestershire village. Its popularity is derived not only from the quality of the housing stock and access to some of the County's most attractive countryside, popular village pub and church. The area is well placed for neighbourhood shopping in Kibworth. A wider range of amenities can be found in in Leicester city centre and the market town of Market Harborough both less than ten miles distant and offering mainline connection to London St. Pancras in less than one hour.
