The Situation
Harcourt House sits just outside the village of Kibworth Harcourt in the grounds of Kibworth Hall, surrounded by stunning Leicestershire countryside.
The thriving town of Market Harborough lies some seven miles to the southwest, offering flexible shopping and supermarket facilities, schools, bars, restaurants, a theatre and leisure centre. The city of Leicester is accessible via the A6, which also offers extensive amenities. For the commuter both Leicester and Market Harborough have mainline rail services to London St Pancras with its Eurostar link, and the M1 is accessible at either junctions 20 or 21. International air travel is available from East Midlands, Birmingham, Stansted and Luton. Sporting and leisure opportunities include a cricket club within the village, golf at Market Harborough, Leicester and Luffenham Heath, and water sports including sailing and fishing on Rutland Water and Pitsford Reservoir towards Northampton. The area offers many sought after preparatory school; Great Glen, Maidwell, Pitsford, Spratton are nearby, with secondary schools are available at Great Glen, Market Harborough, Oakham (with a school service running nearby) Rugby, Uppingham, Oundle, Leicester and Northampton.
The Property
Harcourt House maintains a balance between modern construction and a traditional finish – exemplified by high ceilings, recently replaced double glazing in a sash style, deep skirtings, ceiling roses and other features throughout. Built by the renowned local builders ‘Littlejohn’ approximately 30 years ago, the house presents an excellent opportunity for any purchaser requiring easy access to excellent schooling and amenities.
A generous entrance vestibule opens onto the central hallway, with double doors leading off to the dual aspect drawing room with its gas feature fireplace and ornate surround a focal point. The dining room with large bay window frames the garden view and furthermore to the ground floor is a useful study, and kitchen.
All the reception rooms are of an excellent size, with the kitchen / breakfast room being a particular feature with its high, beamed, and vaulted ceilings, ample space for a large kitchen table and chairs, and two sets of French doors leading to the garden.
The kitchen benefits from a range of eye and base level units and drawers, and space for appliances, including a range cooker. The useful utility room completes the ground floor.
To the first floor are five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room and fitted wardrobes, as does the guest bedroom. The further three bedrooms are all double bedrooms with lovely views. The main bathroom is well appointed with three-piece suite.
Outisde
Approached via a private driveway, double iron gates lead to the enclosed front garden with turning circle, before leading through a further double gate to the parking area and double garaging to the side of the house. The rear gardens are of a good size, mostly laid to lawn with terraced areas connecting to the kitchen and drawing room and is well stocked with a variety of mature shrubs and trees. The large double garage provides ample car storage, and the fabulous games room is accessible by a separate door and set of stairs from the garden.
