Houghton-On-The-Hill

Tucked away within the ever-popular village of Houghton on the Hill, this deceptively spacious detached family home offers approximately 1,800 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation arranged across three thoughtfully designed levels, all set within a generous wraparound garden.

The property appears relatively modest from the front, however internally it reveals an impressive and flexible layout ideally suited to modern family living, home working or multigenerational occupation.

The accommodation begins with an enclosed entrance porch providing useful space for coats and shoes before opening into the welcoming entrance hall. From here, there is access to a ground floor WC, whilst a further reception room positioned to the opposite side is currently utilised as a fifth bedroom but could equally serve as a studio, home office, treatment room or annexe-style space. The room also benefits from a built-in store, offering excellent potential to create an en-suite or kitchenette if desired.

Stairs from the hallway rise to the bedroom accommodation and descend to the principal living spaces on the lower ground floor, where the home truly comes into its own.

The heart of the property is the superb L-shaped kitchen, living and dining space positioned across the rear of the home. Designed with both entertaining and day-to-day family life in mind, the kitchen has been fitted with a stylish range of contemporary grey gloss units complemented by oak work surfaces, creating extensive preparation and storage space. Integrated appliances include AEG microwave and electric ovens, dishwasher, washing machine and a five-ring gas hob, alongside designated space for an American-style fridge freezer.

The living and dining areas enjoy a wonderful connection to the garden through expansive glazing and bifold doors, flooding the space with natural light and seamlessly linking the indoors with the outside seating areas. A useful understairs cupboard provides additional storage, whilst a separate side door offers convenient external access.

Also positioned on the lower level is a more formal living room, again enjoying delightful views across the garden through an impressive picture window and further bifold doors, creating an exceptionally bright and inviting reception space.

The upper floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms comprising three doubles and a generous single bedroom, currently utilised as a home office. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, which offers potential to be converted into an en-suite subject to requirements.

Serving the bedrooms is a beautifully re-fitted shower room, appointed with a contemporary suite including a vanity wash hand basin, WC and large walk-in shower enclosure.

Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front, a double-width driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached double garage with power and lighting connected.

The rear and side gardens wrap beautifully around the property and provide a superb outdoor environment for both families and entertaining. Predominantly laid to lawn and fully enclosed by established trees and fencing, the gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy alongside mature flower and shrub borders. A substantial decked seating terrace adjoins the rear of the home beneath a fixed timber awning, creating a fantastic sheltered entertaining area which connects perfectly with the bifold doors from both the kitchen and living room.

A versatile and deceptively spacious detached home offering flexible accommodation in one of East Leicestershire’s most sought-after villages.
