This stunning home, is a true reflection of the care and respect for its character and history given to it by its present owners during its extensive and meticulous restoration over the past four years. Set along a quiet road containing other traditional buildings, this spacious dwelling house was once four individual farm cottages which had been incorporated into one family home many years ago. The owners were careful to use tradespeople who really knew how to deal with this type of property and, once it had been stripped back to its bare bones, they were thrilled so discover so many delightful features, especially fireplaces which had been bricked up over the years. Every element of the refurbishment was carefully considered, with no expense spared on high quality of workmanship throughout, producing a home containing a wealth of charm and character, combined with a sympathetic mix of contemporary living. The striking entrance hall is central to the property and features a fireplace, which backs onto an identical one in the large sitting room. It is into the bright, sunny, kitchen where everyone inevitable gravitates; this room providing such a magnificent space for relaxed sociable eating, particularly with its bi-folding doors opening out onto the paved patio. An ideal house in which to entertain friends and family and Christmas is always a special time here, with lots of freedom for guests to join in the celebrations or to escape to a quiet space. Being walled, the easily maintained garden has been carefully planned to provide interest throughout the year. An idyllic area of peace and tranquillity, together with a large space for friendly relaxed dining.

The village contains an exceptional range of amenities, with access to a wide choice of highly rated schools. Leicester is only seven miles from the house and access to main road links is excellent. It is just a short walk to the station for local journies, or to Birmingham to connect to the rest of the country. This has been such a happy home, and the owners can feel justly proud that they have given back to the house its unique character.
