General Description

Alexanders of Loughborough have been favoured with instruction to market this exceptional detached family house set in circa 1/4 of an acre on Station Road, Cropston. The property is set back from the road, behind a vast gravel driveway, in one of Charnwood's most revered addresses. The property has been lovingly extended and restored over the past 10 years by the current owners.

Originally constructed in the 1930s, the house has many features synonymous with the period. There is beautiful hardwood joinery and windows throughout, and a floor area of over 2,795 square feet (including a detached double garage). The accommodation is well laid out with a combination of open-plan living areas and separate reception rooms. Naturally, this is an exciting opportunity to acquire an individual home in one of Leicestershire's most sought-after postcodes.

Location

The village is situated in the heart of the sought-after Charnwood Forest, between the City of Leicester and the well-regarded University market town of Loughborough. The village is surrounded by countryside with scenic walks including Bradgate Park and Cropston Reservoir close by. The local area provides both recreational and sporting opportunities abound, including Lingdale and Rothley Park golf clubs.

The area is well known for its exceptional local schooling including well thought of private schooling options nearby including Loughborough Endowed Schools and Ratcliffe College, amongst many others. There is easy access to the A46, A1 and M1 motorway, as well as Leicester Train Station with trains to London from 1h 3m.

Accommodation

The interiors have been designed and finished to a high specification. The accommodation comprises; a lovely entrance hall with WC that leads in turn to four reception rooms; a formal sitting room with direct garden access, a dining room, a snug, and a magnificent 28' long family living kitchen with tri-folding doors onto an entertaining terrace in the garden. The kitchen has been fitted in a modern shaker style with a range of eye, base, and full height grey units, fully integrated appliances with light stone work surfaces, upstands, and an impressive island with seating for up to eight people. There are working wood-burning stoves in both the sitting room and kitchen. Stairs rise to the first floor to a light-filled landing, in turn giving access to four double bedrooms and a lovely family bathroom. All bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and the principal room boasts contemporary en-suite facilities.

The Outside

Further to the main house is a newly constructed detached garage/workshop with power and lighting. There is a personnel door and electric roller shutter door.

At circa 1/4 acre, this most special plot is accessed via two sets of independent gates (electrically operable) through a private gravel driveway and parking area. The garage is situated to the front of the main house as are mature borders and access to the rear gardens, via the side of the property. To the rear are most superb formal rear gardens, with a large timber deck running across the back of the main house. The rest of the gardens are laid mainly to lawn with mature borders. There is also a flagstone-laid seating area. The gardens enjoy a west/north west facing aspect.
