Fine & Country - Leicestershire, Harborough & Lutterworth Agent Valuation of this property is £875,000
In a semi-rural position on the edge of the sought-after village of Coleorton, on Loughborough Road is a superb, five-bedroom, mock Tudor detached family home, built in the 1920s and sympathetically extended over the years.
Uniquely stylish, with a comfortable and sumptuous atmosphere, this unique property is surrounded by immaculate and inspiring gardens and backs onto open countryside.
An Inviting Welcome
Approach the house via a driveway sweeping around a brick-edged lawn screened by mature trees, shrubs and hedging. This opens out into a large, well-lit parking area with space for multiple vehicles.
Admire an attractive exterior of white rendered walls with feature black beams, latticed windows, and a tiled roof with original red brick chimneys as you step up to a white front door with an elegant stained-glass panel.
Inside, a cute window nook adds instant character to the tiled entrance porch. Continue into a central hallway distinguished by Victorian-style patterned floor tiling and a lofty, open-plan under-stair space that’s large enough for a substantial dresser or for hanging a multitude of coats.
Free-Flow Living
A panelled and glazed wooden door immediately to your left opens into a succession of charming and distinctive living spaces that lend themselves to busy family life, as well as regular entertaining.
Begin in the cosy sitting room overlooking the front lawn, where an open fireplace with cast iron and floral tile surround, framed by a finely carved wood mantelpiece, acts as the main focal point. Welcome your party guests here or curl up under the light of a chandelier with a good book from one of the full-height bookshelves.
Take a quick step down through a cottage-style timber-framed archway into the substantial, square-shaped parquet-floored living room. A brick inglenook fireplace houses a cast-iron electric stove while glazed double sliding doors open onto the rear patio. In the corner, a wrought-iron spiral staircase winds its way up to the first floor, providing a handy late-night shortcut to the master bedroom, as well as being a striking architectural feature in its own right.
The large squared archway to your left reveals the garden room and links the two beautiful spaces together. This stunning, half-glazed conservatory-style room boasts generous curves and a pitched roof with solid oak beams and rafters, while wide French doors offer access to the back garden. With big, smooth marbled tiles and plenty of room for manoeuvre, this is definitely the party dance floor.
A Cook’s Dream
Retrace your steps through the living room and open the panelled and glazed double doors straight ahead to reveal the true heart of the house – an impressive dining kitchen with a delightful country vibe. Sturdy dark beams and low ceiling complement practical flagstone-style flooring, with dual aspect windows and skylights flooding the room with sunlight.
Designed with an accomplished cook in mind, the kitchen features a range cooker, integrated microwave, contemporary butler-style sink, space for a fridge freezer, and built-in larder cupboards. There’s also a good range of classic floor and wall cabinets, lots of worktop space and an additional island for food preparation or serving. And there’s still plenty of room left for a huge dining table and chairs for lazy Sunday breakfasts, informal suppers, or supervising homework.
If the chef needs a warm and comfy spot to flick through recipe books, the wood-floored snug is just a step away through another attractive timber-beamed archway. With a bay window overlooking the side garden and double doors to the rear patio, its heart-stealing focal point is a fabulous red-brick inglenook fireplace with an old-fashioned cast-iron range and grate.
Pop through the door beyond to discover a utility and boiler room with fitted wall and floor units, stainless steel sink, large built-in cupboards, space for appliances and a door out to the back yard and detached double garage – ideal for rubbish management. You can also access a handy downstairs cloakroom from here.
There’s just one more space to explore downstairs – a formal dining room at the opposite end of the kitchen or directly off the entrance hall. Elegant and well-proportioned, it’s the place to bring out all the fine china and silverware for celebration meals while a welcoming fire crackles in the Art Deco style fireplace.
The Next Level
The main staircase rises to a carpeted landing and corridor, with all five bedrooms beyond. The light, airy and spacious double aspect master bedroom features sliding doors to a wrought-iron balcony offering countryside views. Open the door disguised as a built-in cupboard to reveal the spiral staircase down to the living room.
There are four more double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes or cupboard space, two with basins and one currently used as a study. The second bedroom, or guest room, has its own en suite shower room, while bedroom three shares its en suite with the master via Jack and Jill doors. The indulgent and inviting family bathroom has a roll-top bath with Victorian-style shower attachment and a roomy shower enclosure, traditional-style basin and loo.
Inspiring Outdoor Spaces
Outside, the mature garden has been extraordinarily well planned to accommodate a wealth of unique features, with secret hideaways around every corner. It’s perfect for socialising with family and friends with a choice of sitting areas, but also for finding privacy and peace away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Straight ahead from the driveway, there’s a beautifully designed terrace skirting the kitchen. Red-brick accents define the paved areas, neat artificial turf softens the landscaping, and a covered brick gazebo offers a seat with a view for all seasons.
Accessed from the living room and snug, an extensive paved and artificially turfed terrace fringes an ornamental fish pond with mature lilies.
Follow the stepping stones across the grass to reach an authentic bamboo Buddhist temple – a special place to retreat for meditation and reflection. In a shady nook, you’ll find a brick-built summer house with French doors that could be used as a home office or hobby room.
Tucked away at the end of the generous plot is a children’s play lawn with space for swings, slides, climbing frames and trampolines, a delightful painted timber playhouse with a pretty porch and plenty of shady trees for hot summer days.
Out and About
Coleorton is a popular country village in northwest Leicestershire. It has a post office and convenience store for essential supplies, with several well-reputed pubs and eateries nearby. It’s a great starting point for country walks, especially in the local woodland nature reserve, which sits on a former coal mine.
Close to the A42 and the A511, the house is only a few miles from historic Ashby-de-la-Zouch, only half an hour’s drive from Leicester, less than 10 miles from the M1, and just 15 minutes from the large market town of Loughborough, where you’ll find rail links to London and the North.
In Coleorton, you’ll find Viscount Beaumont CofE Primary School, named after the family who once lived at Coleorton Hall. Other catchment schools in the area include Ivanhoe College or Ashby School in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, with a wealth of primary schools with good Ofsted ratings scattered around nearby villages
