An extremely rare opportunity to acquire a plot (approx. 0.07 acres), with full planning permission granted for the conversion of the existing building of approx. 2,390 square feet (the former Co-operative Stores with 1930s heritage) into a substantial, contemporary residential dwelling of approx. 2,081 square feet (193.4 square metres) that would serve as an ideal luxury lock up and leave bolthole, close to the heart of Market Harborough town centre.

Accommodation - A rare opportunity to acquire an approx. 0.07 of an acre plot with planning permission granted for the conversion of the existing commercial building into a stunning architect-designed contemporary residential home, situated close to the desirable and popular market town of Market Harborough.

The proposed accommodation would be entered from the side into a welcoming central, reception hall with a striking staircase opposite that leads up to the first-floor bedrooms. Double doors to the left will lead through into a substantial open plan kitchen, family/dining room with twin sets of double doors leading out to the garden beyond. Sleek, contemporary units would span the width of the space, complemented by a large central island and breakfast bar, to allow for plenty of storage while retaining an elegant yet casual entertaining space.

Across from the hall an inner hall will lead past the downstairs shower room and separate utility room, provide access into the ground floor fourth bedroom/study opposite while leading through into an impressive open plan living/family room which will retain the period characteristics and features of the twin bay windows and “former shop door entrance “that will flood the space with an abundance of natural light.

Upstairs the central landing will lead to three double bedrooms with the master suite featuring a dressing room and ensuite shower room. The family bathroom, in keeping with the contemporary styling throughout, has been designed to feature suite comprising a free-standing bath, separate shower cubicle with space for a WC and wash hand basin.

Outside - The front will be re-configured to feature a brick low-level boundary wall with central gate into a courtyard frontage that wraps the striking former shop store frontage. Gates to the side will provide access to the driveway that provides off-road parking for two or three vehicles which in turn will provide access to the garden at the rear. The space at the rear has been envisioned to provide a low-maintenance, landscaped space that would blend seamlessly with the interior during the summer months, to allow al fresco dining, entertaining and relaxing, while offering peace of mind and minimal effort from a lock-up and leave/bolthole point of view.
