ENGLISH COUNTRY HOUSE WITH CALIFORNIAN VIBE A meticulously refurbished country house combining an elegant blend of contemporary and traditional styles. Positioned on the edge of the village, the house sits wonderfully in its plot of approx. 0.75 acres with views from its south facing balcony over the surrounding countryside. Situated less than 10 mins from Market Harborough train station with a direct rail service to London St. Pancras from 55 mins EPC RATING: C
MAIN HOUSE
A rare example of having perfectly combined a traditional, stone country house with the latest advancements in technology with exquisite detail given over to the internal specification. The house is accessed via bespoke, electric wooden gates onto an extensive driveway with parking for multiple vehicles. The accommodation begins with the kitchen / breakfast room being accessed via the inner hallway and boasting hand crafted oak kitchen, bespoke 'double depth' work tops, two 'Miele' ovens - electric and steam and induction hob. There is a video entry system for the main gates and the tiled floor, like all those throughout the house, benefits from under floor heating. Doors open onto the south facing terrace and the office is accessed via the living area of the kitchen. The accommodation flows on from the internal office space into the stunning 27 ft lounge room / music studio with south facing bay window, Brazilian walnut flooring and multi-fuel burner. The flooring continues with steps rising to the mezzanine sitting area, currently displaying a grand piano, and on to the magnificent drawing room, with views over the landscaped rear garden. Further stairs rise into the vaulted ceiling to another mezzanine housing a study and sitting area. Ground floor accommodation is completed by a bespoke laundry room housing floor to ceiling storage units, 'Corian' work tops and built in sink. This room contains the CCTV system and adjacent to it is a separate cloakroom. The Brazilian walnut flooring continues on the first floor where all of the bedrooms radiate from the bright first floor landing and the family bathroom has 'Porcelanosa' tiling whilst the master bedroom with ensuite is of particular note with its south facing balcony and views over the stunning gardens and countryside beyond. Both bathrooms contain fitments for integrated waterproof televisions.
ANNEXE AND SWIM SPA
To the ground floor, the independent annexe boasts an air-conditioned swim spa / gym with a 'dimension 1' swim spa and Jacuzzi as well as a newly fitted 'kitchenette' and an integrated cinema system with projector and amplifier. The glazed doors retract to allow access to the gardens in the summer and the room benefits from under floor heating for the winter months.There is a fully fitted annexe bedroom above from which the landscaped gardens can be admired whilst the ensuite shower room has a 'pebble' tiled floor and 'Porcelanosa' fitments.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The rear gardens are of particular note being a wonderfully mature, private space with various zones for entertaining and for different times of the day. There are two main terraces, both facing south, accessed via the main house and the annexe respectively. A decked area includes a semi-permanent marquee looking up the gardens whilst the stunning fire pit, with seating all around, looks back toward the house. The rest of the gardens are mainly laid to lawn and are bordered by stone walls, bamboo and 'Iroko' bespoke fencing and laurel hedgerow. They gently slope up from the house and lead to a large summer house on the eastern boundary. They also contain a 'rain harvesting' system which collects water from the roofs and is connected to a customised sprinkler system that has been professionally designed to provide water throughout the extensive outdoor space.
SITUATION
Communication links are excellent with the A14 approx. five miles to the south giving access to the M1 and M6 to the west, in turn providing access to Birmingham International, Coventry and East Midlands Airports.
