Situation
Glenoya lies off Church Lane, a charming unadopted road within the picturesque village of Dingley, renowned for its annual point to point meetings, its Grade II listed Church and Dingley Hall, a Grade I listed country house dating back to the Elizabethan era. Dingley is just three miles from the historic market town of Market Harborough, close to the borders of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. Market Harborough offers an excellent range of everyday facilities including high street retailers, independent boutiques, supermarkets, banks, theatre, and leisure centre. Market Harborough train station offers connections to London St Pancras International with journey times of just 56 minutes.
The village of Great Bowden just under two miles distant, offers a deli, shop, post office, café, public house, primary school, and parish church.
The area is well known for excellent schooling with preparatory schooling available at Great Glen, Spratton Hall and Maidwell and senior schooling at Uppingham, Oakham, Oundle, Leicester Grammar and Rugby.
Further to the north lies the city of Leicester with a comprehensive range of commercial and leisure facilities. The M1 motorway is approximately twenty-two miles to the west and the A14 approximately eight miles to the south. International travel is available at St Pancras International by train and East Midlands, Birmingham, Stansted, and Luton Airports.
Dingley is surrounded by open countryside and offers the opportunity for excellent country pursuits. Water sports are available on Rutland Water, fishing on the Eyebrook, polo at Oakham, and golf at Market Harborough, Kibworth and South Luffenham. Racing is at Leicester, Southall, Nottingham, and Huntingdon. The Fernie, Pytchley and Fitzwilliam Hunt hold their annual point to point meetings at the unique Dingley racecourse situated in the village.
The Property
An outstanding detached property of character, Glenoya sits within delightful professionally landscaped mature gardens of approximately 0.64 acres (0.259 hectares) in a picturesque and secluded setting.
Built during 1960s of handmade brick and clay tile construction to an extremely high standard with a distinctive eyebrow window to the front elevation, the property offers enormous potential for further extension and modernisation, subject to the necessary consents. The versatile accommodation is accessed from an impressive reception hall, having a spacious drawing room with feature fireplace, separate dining room, breakfast kitchen, two ground floor double bedrooms, a shower room, and a generous cloakroom. Off the kitchen is a side entrance hall with separate wc and two stores, with a door leading through to a double garage. A garden room opens out onto the garden, shaded by a pretty pergola.
On the first floor, off a spacious landing is a further double bedroom with adjacent shower room/wc, a spacious attic room offering opportunity to convert to an additional bedroom and a useful storage room.
Outside
The property enjoys a particularly wide frontage to Church Lane with an attractive stone walled front boundary, and distinctive cloud pruned hedging. Evergreen hedging borders the private driveway leading to the front of the house, providing spacious off-road parking and a turning area adjacent to the attached double garage.
The gardens are a charming feature of the property and extend to just over half an acre. The gardens were originally professionally landscaped and now offer a mature setting surrounded by specimen trees and tall well-maintained hedges maintaining complete privacy. Generous lawns wrap around the property to all sides, with planted borders in both the front and rear garden. A paved walkway leads from the front of the house to the rear gardens with individual lawns and borders planted with a variety of shrubs and roses. The property also offers a productive vegetable garden with established soft fruit planting including blackcurrant and gooseberry, situated out of sight, a timber gardener’s store, and composting area.
In addition to the attached double garage, there is a quadruple timber garage accessed via a grassed track to the side of the property, together with a further timber garden shed.
