Set in the village of Littlethorpe, this is one of those homes that gives you a lot more than first impressions might suggest.
You’ve got village life on the doorstep, but you’re not tucked away in the middle of nowhere. Narborough, Whetstone, Fosse Park, Leicester and the motorway links are all easy enough to get to, so it works really well if you want that quieter feel without giving up the convenience.
Step inside and the layout just makes sense.
At the front, there’s a cosy sitting room with a log burner, which gives the room a proper bit of character. It’s the kind of space that will feel brilliant in the winter, curtains closed, fire on, film on, job done.
To the rear, you’ve got a second reception room, currently working well as a dining room, with doors leading straight out to the garden. That’s a big plus here because the garden isn’t just a patch of grass at the back. It’s been set up to be used.
The kitchen has a clean, modern feel with light grey units, wood-effect worktops and integrated appliances. It’s smart without being over the top, and the separate utility room is a real bonus. Anyone with a busy household will know how useful it is to have somewhere to hide the washing machine, tumble dryer and all the everyday bits that normally end up taking over the kitchen.
Upstairs, the main bedroom sits to the front and comes with fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms, so there’s plenty of flexibility depending on how you live, children’s rooms, guest room, dressing room, home office, whatever works for you. The family bathroom has also been finished in a modern style, so you’re not walking into a house where every room needs sorting straight away.
Outside is where this home gets even more interesting.
To the front, you’ve got off-road parking and a single garage, which is always handy. To the rear, the garden has been designed to be low maintenance but still really usable. There’s a patio area for seating, lawn space, an artificial grass area, and a raised seating area with a pergola. It feels like a garden you could actually enjoy rather than one that becomes a weekend job every time the sun comes out.
And then there’s the shipping container at the back.
Now, this is a proper bonus. Keep it as storage if you want, but there’s definitely potential here for someone with a bit of imagination. Home office, gym, garden bar, studio, summer house, there are loads of ways you could use it, subject to any checks or permissions you might need.
For me, this is a home that works because it gives you the practical stuff families need, but it also has a bit of personality. The log burner, the village setting, the garden layout and the extra potential at the rear all help it stand out from the usual homes people scroll past every day.
Mum's house had been on the market for nearly a year with little interest. Chris had a proactive marketing approach and presented the house in a way that really played to its strengths. He arranged more viewings than other agents and negotiated a sale within 2 weeks. Highly professional service and we are very pleased with the outcome. Would definitely use his services again. Thank you Chris.
