In its rural setting, the farmhouse presents a fantastic opportunity for a prospective buyer looking for a convenient Midlands location within Leicestershire.



This truly distinctive residence is set in an acre of land and is approached by turning into a wide, electric gated shared gravel drive that leads to the front of the building. The drive has further electric gates, ample space for several vehicles and the front garden is bordered by a wall. Originally built in 2004, it has been renovated by its present owners to create a home offering comfort, quality and space. Resourced with many traditional features, Little Fields has the advantage of contemporary innovation and style, with high quality fixtures and fittings throughout. It is an original in layout and potential, with provision for a separate or combined enterprise within its stables, offices and storage facilities to the rear of the main property. For any seeking a new spacious home that combines with the potential for accommodating a business, this will undoubtedly tick many boxes.



A unique layout of rooms



Little Fields has three levels, with all but its basement and primary bedroom with ensuite on the ground floor. This bespoke residence has been developed and personalised to maximize the large ground floor space and has three reception rooms, three bedrooms, bathroom facilities and a spacious eat-in kitchen, with vaulted ceiling. Space and versatility have been created in abundance in a home that now generously divides to provide a family room, dining room, living room and kitchen. They are linked by a foyer and hall that runs in the opposite direction and alongside the ground floor bedrooms to the family bathroom and utility room. However, there is so much to discover with Little Fields so let us begin by entry from the ground floor foyer.



A light and welcoming home



The foyer is generously proportioned and provides a convenient cloakroom and large, glass paned cupboard for coats. This inviting space characterises the property as a whole. Here, large limestone floor tiles, oak woodwork, black ironmongery and a natural palette of colours, set the style of the interior that will feature throughout.



Little Fields has underfloor heating on the ground floor. There are also multi fuel wood burners providing warmth and cosy comfort in the family room on the left of the foyer and in the living room. This beautiful room has panelled oak flooring and exposed beams in the vaulted ceiling. It is next to the separate dining room.



The generous proportion of all the living rooms at Little Fields is essentially designed for versatility: larger scale home entertaining becomes possible but without losing the individualism of separate spaces. Contemporary flushed to the ceiling lighting adds to the overall feeling of relaxation and as there are several doors opening onto the patio and garden from the reception rooms, there is airiness and space in abundance. From the landscaped garden, wide open views can be appreciated over the natural landscape of farmland and trees.



The kitchen is stunning



This kitchen is sure to become a favourite for owner and guest alike. The first thing to note is its size and the beauty of its oak vaulted ceiling. It easily contains a table for informal dining or could house a bespoke central island for a breakfast bar with stools, if that was preferred. Fitted with white Shaker style cabinetry with brushed chrome fixtures, an expanse of black granite worktops and large floor tiles, this space is a bespoke mixture of contemporary, practical and traditional merging together to become easy on the eye. The natural material and colours highlighted in the reception rooms continue here and multiple wall, floor and shelved display units provide ample, streamlined storage solutions, including a feature shelf over the double range oven. The subtle lighting at wall and ceiling level make this kitchen totally functional yet immediately striking. Various integrated appliances include a gas hob, double oven, wine cooler, fridge freezer and dish washer. It conveniently incorporates a cupboard plumbed to house a washing machine and tumble drier. The boot room is immediately next door. This provides additional storage, with coordinating worktops and cupboards.



The kitchen has double doors leading outside to the patio so that the entire ensemble of living rooms is configured for the ebb and flow of people. Whether you are hosting a major event or enjoying a quieter occasion, the versatility of this house affords you the luxury of all options by allowing you to use the outside as a continuation of the interior… when the English weather allows!



Remember…there are three levels



Leaving the kitchen and moving through the family room, the hall leads along and to the right providing access to the basement below and the primary open plan bedroom above. The basement is presently used for recreation and serves as a games room, cinema room and mini gym. It could easily be used for other purposes or become the fifth bedroom.



Coming back to the ground level, there are three bedrooms, each with distinctive features and one with double doors opening into the garden. The family bathroom comprises of a claw foot bath with central shower tap, toilet, heated towel rail and walk in shower, with feature tiles within the shower and on the floor. All fixtures and fittings in all the bathing areas of this property have been tastefully selected for their contemporary design and fitted to high specifications.



The primary bedroom is the first floor and is of open plan design. It has built in speakers, wardrobes, oak flooring, exposed beams and an ensuite containing a double vanity unit, heated towel rail, toilet and walk in shower.



Outside



Little Fields has a mixture of generously proportioned outbuildings that could be used for a multitude of purposes but the sympathetic landscaping has provided a natural barrier of trees and hedges to maintain privacy from the main residence. The garden has many delightful features to cater for all age ranges and is stocked with a variety of plants and established shrubs.



The outbuildings have previously served as the premises for a business and as such provide ample provision for a reception foyer, offices, kitchen and cloakroom besides storage space – including a barn that can be used or rented – workshop areas, stables and garage. There is additional land to the rear of the property and this is currently being rented by the present owners for their horses.



And in closing



This distinctive property undoubtedly has immense potential to become part of a new business venture but it is first and foremost a home of quality and style, in a beautiful, private location. It may have ‘little’ in its name but in no other respect does this fit its description!
