Description
Positioned within the heart of the highly regarded village of Foxton, 10 minutes from Market Harborough, this attractive and generously proportioned detached family home offers beautifully balanced accommodation alongside a wonderful sense of space both inside and out. Thoughtfully arranged and immaculately presented, the property combines versatile living with a superb open-plan kitchen, all set within a delightful plot in one of south Leicestershire's most sought-after locations. Offered for sale with no upward chain.
Accommodation - The setting perfectly complements the lifestyle offered by Foxton; a picturesque and well-connected village, renowned for its unspoilt countryside charm and famous locks, yet remains within easy reach of Market Harborough's excellent amenities and mainline rail links to London St. Pancras.
The ground floor offers an excellent flow of living space, ideal for modern family life. Beautifully appointed with high quality engineered oak flooring, porcelain tiled flooring and wet underfloor heating to the main living accommodation. Oak doors are seen throughout, which complement the oak bannisters and handrails to the stairs and landing.
The property is entered via a pretty, canopied storm porch into a welcoming reception hallway, which leads through to a generous sitting room with direct access to the beautiful rear garden via French doors with full height windows either side. A cast iron log burner takes centre stage in this light, spacious room. It is further complemented by a separate snug which provides a more intimate retreat.
The real heart of the home is the superb open-plan dining kitchen, fitted with a range of eye and base level units under Quartz preparation surfaces and centred around a substantial island with deep pan drawers, creating a sociable and functional space for both everyday living and entertaining. French doors open out to the garden, allowing natural light to flood in. A separate study provides an excellent work-from-home option, while a utility room and a guest cloakroom add further practicality.
To the first floor, the property continues to impress with a superb central landing with oak staircase and a lantern roof light adding further light to this already light property. There are three well-sized bedrooms, all thoughtfully arranged off the landing. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and boasts a well-appointed ensuite shower room. The remaining double bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests or additional workspace. A stylish family bathroom is fitted with both a contemporary freestanding bath and separate shower. Throughout, the home is well presented with a light, airy feel.
Outside - The property enjoys an attractive frontage with a neat lawn and a driveway providing off-road parking. A pedestrian gate to the right gives access into the rear garden.
To the rear, the garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private and inviting outdoor space, featuring a paved terrace ideal for al fresco dining and summer entertaining. Steps lead up to a lawn with well-stocked borders planted for year-round interest and colour. A brick-built store offers the perfect place to store lawnmowers and outdoor furniture.
Location - The village of Foxton is surrounded by picturesque countryside and offers a strong sense of community centered around the village hall, the church of St. Andrews, two popular public houses, and Foxton Locks is a pleasant short walk along the canal where there is a restaurant and further pub. Schooling is catered for by the well-regarded Foxton Primary School. The area is well known for its attractive rolling countryside. The nearby town of Market Harborough offers a variety of niche shopping, local supermarkets, restaurants and a wide range of leisure and recreational facilities and a mainline rail service to London St. Pancras in little under an hour.
