5 bedroom detached house for sale

This impressive five-bedroom detached residence, set in a tranquil rural location, sits on approximately 1.7 acres of land. The property includes a one-bedroom annexe and a quadruple garage, all with stunning views over the surrounding open countryside.

Upon entering through the UPVC front door, you are welcomed into an inviting hallway that provides access to most of the ground floor rooms and leads up a staircase to the first floor.

The kitchen boasts an excellent range of fitted units topped with granite work surfaces, complemented by a split-level central island with a breakfast bar. It features a white Belfast sink with a mixer tap, an integrated dishwasher, and spaces for both a range-style cooker and an American-style fridge freezer. Double French doors open out onto a patio, and a UPVC door provides additional access to the front.

Adjoining the kitchen is a well-equipped utility room, which offers under-counter space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, additional storage units, and a white Belfast sink. Two cupboards provide further useful storage.

The spacious lounge is bathed in natural light thanks to two sets of double French doors. A feature fireplace with a log burner serves as a centerpiece, while ornate coving and plush carpeting add elegance to the space.

Off the lounge, an orangery with a roof light and panoramic glazing offers beautiful garden views. Double French doors lead to the rear patio, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

From the hallway, you'll find a formal dining room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and a striking stone fireplace. Two sets of double French doors also lead out to the rear.

The ground floor hosts three double bedrooms. The first bedroom features an en-suite with a corner shower, wash basin, and WC. The second bedroom, with dual-aspect windows, serves as a guest room, while the third is currently used as a home office but has ample space to function as a comfortable bedroom.

A luxurious ground-floor bathroom includes a double-ended hydro spa bath, built-in cupboards with an integrated sink and WC, fully tiled walls and flooring, two feature radiators, and a side window.

On the first floor, the landing area features a built-in cupboard and provides access to:

The master bedroom, a generous double room with two feature windows, carpet flooring, and an en-suite with a sink and WC.

Bedroom five, currently used as a dressing room, boasts fitted wardrobes and a balcony with breath taking views over the surrounding fields.
Across from the main house, the quadruple garage includes two electric up-and-over doors, a cloakroom with WC and sink, and a separate boiler system for the upstairs annexe. Accessible via a rear garden staircase, the annexe offers a spacious open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area with a fitted kitchen, solid wood worktops, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a dormer window providing views similar to those enjoyed from the main house.

The annexe's bedroom is a generous double with dual-aspect windows and an en-suite featuring a double corner shower, integrated sink and WC, heated towel rail, and a Velux roof window.

The property is approached via gated access onto a resin-finished driveway with ample parking, leading to the garage. A pedestrian walkway between the house and annexe continues onto a lovely patio area with multiple spots for outdoor dining and relaxation. The meticulously maintained formal gardens provide a serene retreat, perfect for embracing the rural lifestyle.

A gate leads to the remainder of the land, which includes two stables, a summer house, and a picturesque lake, offering the best of country living. The 1.7-acre plot truly immerses you in nature, and a track on the left side leads to a yard, which has previously been used for business purposes but could easily be integrated into the existing garden space.

If you're searching for a unique home set within ample land and gardens, with sweeping views of Leicestershire’s open countryside, Merrylees Road could be your dream property.
