'Fresh clean lines in a beautifully renovated, centrally located home.'Strikingly newThe underlying first impression of this bespoke, detached home is that it has been completely reinvented from the 1950s original. The house has been totally renovated and redesigned to prioritise light, airiness and space. There is an intrinsic simplicity and beauty in the choice of textures, fixtures and fittings throughout this generous property that clearly speaks of minimalism, great design and decisions made with quality as standard. From the roadside it stands strikingly new, set back behind electronically operated metal gates, fitted with a mobile intercom and at the top of a high quality slate gravel drive. Located within the Leicestershire village of Birstall, this house has been recreated to maximise its potential and provides a combination of four to five bedrooms across all floors one with en-suite - a family bathroom, ground floor utility and cloakroom, with a very large open plan kitchen/dining/ lounge space that opens into a contemporary garden, effortlessly combining the inside with the outside.This residence is in every way, uncluttered. Unhindered lines of sight and a neutral colour palette, provide an interior decor that emphasises the well-proportioned interior and provides a layout that is the blueprint for free flow contemporary living. Here, you have all the advantages of technology, quality features and space in a location that provides the convenience of Central England: city amenities and rural countryside within a short distance. Contemporary design, with functionality and practicality The traditional strong shape of the house has been stylised with window ledges made from solid sandstone, white painted sand and cement rendering, double glazed sash windows inward tilting for ease of maintenance a new composite slate roof and GRP flat roofs, reinforced with resin for additional longevity. The drive is bordered by white rendered walls, fitted lighting to the front and rear, with a complete replacement of fascia, soffits and guttering. This property has a full CCTV security system. From the drive, entry is gained through the composite front door and the entrance hall sets the standard for the immaculate interior: pristine walls, a straight line of vision, height and space. This executive home has been renovated with an exacting level of detail and attention to the fixtures and fittings. The property throughout is fitted with Buster and Punch sockets, switches and LED ambient lighting. Each interior door is carpenter made and the floor is laid with Italian porcelain tiles, 120mm thick. They hide the underfloor heating which is water radiated downstairs and electrically powered upstairs. Each can be individually controlled. The entrance hall has a Roof Maker sky light measuring two by four metres allowing light to flood into the furthest point of the hall and from where a bespoke aluminium framed glass back door permits a glimpse of the rear garden. This is the area used as the utility and has fitted bespoke Grisaille units topped with thirty millimetre Italian marble, two hallway lanterns and window ledges likewise fitted with marble to a depth of twenty millimetres. A cloakroom to the right is one of three bathing facilities within the house that have been designed by Dalal Alfaddagh Interior Design, Canada and Serafini Studios, London. The specifications for these amenities are excellent and have been maintained to their original standard. All suites are white, Bianco Perlino Stone has been used for the vanity units, and Crosswater Taps have supplied the taps, shower and additional accessories, with marble throughout. Optimised open plan living The open planned kitchen/diner/lounge is now entered and covers over half of the internal downstairs area. It is an extensive light filled room that incorporates many stylish features, seamlessly running from one purposed space to another. Beginning with the lounge a Bellfire XXL Bell View gas fire and fireplace create a wonderful focal from which to sit and relax around before moving into the area that comfortably houses a dining table and chairs, all within sight and easy conversation of those in the kitchen. The kitchen is amply fitted with bespoke Grisaille units and thirty millimetre marble worktops around the walls and on the island unit. These high quality units ensure ample storage space and a generous expanse of room for food preparation. Another Roof Maker sky light allows light to flood into the food preparation area and onto the integrated appliances including a Siemens vertical microwave cooker and separate oven, a Siemens fridge freezer, a Bora induction hob with extraction and a Quooker Pro Three fusion tap. This can provide water that can be filtered, cooled or boiling.Beyond the kitchen is the garden. The garden is a continuation of the open plan scheme as through App controlled Ultraline floor to ceiling sliding glass doors that span the entire wall, the inside and outside become one. It is a privately enclosed, low maintenance garden and leads out over Italian porcelain tiles to a Hot Springs Triumph, four person hot tub. It is by clever and practical design that these lovely areas are seamlessly linked to optimise space for maximum practicality and functionality, whether for everyday living or those special entertaining occasions. The bedroomsBefore ascending to the first floor, the ground floor has a valuable asset that has yet to be investigated. A large bedroom, with walk in shower and en-suite facilities, is at the front of the house and is entered through a door immediately right after entry by the front door. This room would be perfect as a guest suite or for a member of the family requiring ground floor accommodation. From the generous living areas of the first floor the feature glass U shaped staircase leads to the airy landing and adjoining bedrooms upstairs. Here, the three double rooms on the first floor have television and power points and in one that is presently used as a dressing room, a complete wall of bespoke fitted wardrobes, while another has an Oriel Box window. The rooms have underfloor heating and wood effect Italian porcelain tiles. All windows in the property are dressed with white black out blinds. A custom built Skylark electrically operated loft ladder opens into the fifth bedroom in the loft. This is fully equipped with Velux windows.As previously explained, the bathing facilities in this house are quite superior. In the family bathroom on the first level the frameless mirror is by William Wood and there is a luxurious freestanding stone resin bath. The Velux window in this room is remote controlled and has a sandblasted Oriel Box window. The practical and financial benefits of acquiring this totally renovated property include that it has been completely rewired, and comes with a new Baxi boiler, two new hot water tanks and pumping system. The mains water supply has been refitted to increase the water pressure and a Nest Smart Control is in place for the heating and hot water. There really is only one remaining thing for the new owners to do with the propertyenjoy it! LOCALITYBirstall is a large village in a region known as the East Midlands, in the county of Leicestershire. The Midlands are essentially central to everything in England: airports, motorways and train stations are easily accessible. For example, the East Midlands airport is only 20 miles away, London is approximately 107 miles away and it is possible to visit the seaside for a day trip! The M1, M69 and M6 maximise the potential for travel by road from this central location. The villages of Thurmaston, Syston, Wanlip and Thurcaston are close by. Situated three miles north of Leicester city centre, Birstall is in the civil parish of Charnwood and due to its proximity to the city, it is considered part of the wider urban area. Following the route of the A6, the centre of the village is off Sibson Road. Onthe north of the village, the A6 meets the A46 Leicester Western bypass, which continues to Loughborough along the Soar valley. The Grand Union Canal is on the eastern edge of the area, adjacent to Watermead Country Park, which is a series of lakes in the bottom of the Soar valley. The park is a popular destination and has meadow and reed nature reserves, play trails with landmarks, and provides opportunities for walkers and cyclists to link up to the city paths or to wider open countryside along the valley. It is within walking distance from the centre of Birstall village but has large parking facilities too. Leicester City and parish councils have been keen to conserve and reintroduce green belt natural areas for the public to enjoy and there are others within the county. To discover those and find information relating to the services within the area parishesbirstall would be worth checking out.The original small village of Birstall was identified as 'Burstalle' in the 1086 Domesday Book. The name means 'settlement built on the site of a fortification'. At that time the sixteen acres of meadow land and a mill, were owned by Hugh de Grandmesnil and gradually grew in size, occupied by various settlers until the arrival of the Great Central Railway in 1899, when the area really developed. It continues to be a popular region with the latest addition to the area being Hallam Fields, a development on land to the west of the A6. Today, Birstall appeals to the community through a wide selection of sport, education and leisure amenities. There are an array of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and parks, with the additional benefits of reaching the city of Leicester by public or private transport. Close by on the northern edge of the village is the Park and Ride bus park. The village is well served by several bus companies including Kinch, Centre bus, Skylink and Arriva Midlands.Birstall has its own library, Post Office LE4 4JE and dental and medical practices such as Greengate Medical Centre and Birstall Medical Centre. There are three churches including the parish church which has been on the site since Saxon times. St James the Great was restored in 1869 and enlarged in 1961. The church hall is the building once used as the village school. There are a number of schools in the village; Riverside Primary, Hallam Fields Primary, Highcliffe Primary and Cedars Academy. The Office for Standards in Education - OFSTED is best researched to provide a comprehensive review of currently rated standards of practice.Additional Information:EPC - DCouncil Tax Banding - DLocal Authority - Charnwood Borough CouncilBroadband Speed - 1130 Mb For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_leicestershire-d325712/for-sale_i71027136

'A period cottage, quintessentially English, filled to the brim with character and charm.' A little of the back ground storyCharnwood Cottage was probably constructed by the original owners during the early seventeenth century. Historical architecture signals to the part of the Renaissance period - 1550 to 1650 - when humble cottages built and owned by farm labourers, began to become part of the countryside narrative. The building materials were those from the locality and in the course of time, dwellings were extended and modernised thatch to shingle to tile to accommodate the owners and their needs. As such, this most modest of homes, has gained an unrivalled position within English architectural heritage. They are known for their grace and beauty, and for being harmoniously in tune with their natural landscape. This property is a charming example of a half-timbered, old English cottage with large S shaped wall anchors. It presents as a period home of character with features that fulfil contemporary expectations. Charnwood Cottage is a detached, four bedroomed property with three reception rooms and a kitchen diner, utility room and downstairs cloakroom. The prime bedroom is equipped with its own en-suite. Within the landscaped front garden there is a large drive and double garage and at the rear a private, secluded garden. This bespoke residence is set back from Ashby Road, in the south-west region of the county of Leicestershire, in a village known as Stapleton. A welcoming first impression Charnwood Cottage oozes visual warmth and character from the outset: chimney pots, a cross gabled roof, white rendering, leaded paned windows and rustic porch. This is a residence of maturity, richly sprinkled with traits of quirkiness befitting the age of its existence. It has been very well maintained and befitting the character of the original, there is also a simplicity with internal decoration and fittings, which richly appeals to contemporary styles and tastes. From roadside entry through large gates, the herringbone patterned, block paved driveway creates a wide, open front and the double garage and cottage is viewed. There is ample space for several cars and ease of turning.A low brick, open canopy porch adds depth and weather protection over the main point of entrance: there are other options, including a split barn door from the side of the cottage. However, this entrance from the drive leads directly into the dining room. Here, be prepared to step over the threshold where many have trodden before and been transported into a room that exudes period features in abundance. The reception roomsExposed, mellowed beams, an inglenook fireplace and stone floors create a welcoming entrance to a well-proportioned dining room that has an undressed wall exhibiting the wattle and daub interior. It is a beautiful, characterful room with latched, panelled interior doors, white painted walls and thick rustic timbers bordering the log burner tucked into the recess of the room on the left. This is one of three fireplaces downstairs. They originally served as gathering places for warmth, to dry clothes and to cook meals. The fire was the focal point of the room and in Charnwood Cottage this continues to be the case. The room to the right is the lounge and similar statement period elements are repeated: open beams and arched brick fireplace, stone flooring and the back of the exposed wattle and daub wall. It is a dual aspect room, full of light and charm.Moving back through the dining room, there are two doors immediately ahead. One of them opens onto a staircase leading to the first floor and the second opens into the open plan kitchen diner. This is a wonderful space, created by extending the original structure and doubling the size of the room.A contemporary concept within a period homeMany modern homes boast the concept for including open plan living in their floor plan, by removing walls and merging purposed areas into one space. In Charnwood Cottage a clear flow of rooms has been achieved by fusing the kitchen, dining and sitting area together and allowing light to flood the space overlooking the garden, by adding bi folding doors and skylights. It is a space that links the inside to the outside and allows people to be together during food preparation while also providing easy access through rooms that can easily be used together to accommodate larger groups for entertaining. The neutrality of plain, often white, walls or feature wallpapered walls throughout the cottage further supports the traditional interior design and contemporary trends of decorating. In the kitchen, dual aspect windows look to both sides of the property. It is fitted with white panelled cabinetry accessorised with gun metal cup handles. Work tops contrast the colour scheme in black quartz, with plenty of storage space here and next door in the utility room, equipped for all laundry necessities, with another sink and further access to the garden. Within the kitchen, the dishwasher, double oven, extractor fan and wine cooler are included within the sale. A further unit provides a convenient bench for stools and semi division from the seating area, where a wall mounted television is positioned for optimal viewing. The cloakroom with two piece suite is accessed through the utility room and conveniently close to the back door. There are two more doors from the kitchen; one to the walk in store and another to the snug, the last reception room. This room has a bar and is a natural extension of the open plan living space. It could easily become a study or home office, as it also has a door opening into the garden. The dreamy first floorA door from the dining room leads to the carpeted staircase and to the first floor. Here, there is a - prime bedroom with en-suite walk-in shower, toilet and bespoke vanity unit - three further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a landing linking them altogether along the length of the property. Period features abound with exposed beams, upright timbers and skirting boards. Fitted wardrobes in the central bedroom have wrought iron hinges and latches, and carpets are fitted to coordinate all the areas with the exception of the bathing areas that are tiled. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath, with glass shower screen and tongue and groove panelling. Besides the two piece suite there is a heated towel rail and white, underground tiling around the window and bathtub. All fixtures and fittings in all the bathing areas of the house have been tastefully selected with premium quality white suites, fitted and maintained to high specifications.A private havenCharnwood Cottage has the luxury of space, inside and outside. The garden has been landscaped and comes stocked with established shrubs, and patio and lawn area. The summerhouse is included within the sale and would certainly provide a delightful place to retreat to and from which to admire the lovely property that is Charnwood Cottage.LOCALITYStapleton is a village in central England, in south west Leicestershire, a region referred to as the East Midlands. It maintains all the charm and features associated with a rural location and is located on a long ridge of land beginning in the neighbouring village of Barwell to the south and followed by the A447 road going north. The closest major river is the River Sence but locally the closest waterway is the River Tweed, that runs north-east of Leicester.

There are normally 70 trains running daily, to London, the fastest taking approximately an hour. The closest airport is in Castle Donnington, whichis the East Midlands Airport. The village of Stapleton was possibly the geographical cross roads for travellers from Ashby-de-la-Zouch and surrounding areas during the times of the Romans, as Leicester was a large Roman town and trading was very active in and around the area. The earliest recorded mention of a settlement at Stapleton was in 833 when the King of Mercia sent a charter to Wiglaff, Abbot of Crowland in Lincolnshire making 'grants of two plough lands in Stapleton and Sutton'. In 1086 the Doomsday Book records that there were five to six families living in the area, then owned by Hugh de Grandmesnil, who had been given most of west Leicestershire by the duke of Normandy - William the Conqueror - after the eleventh century Conquest of Britain. The specific date for when the parish church, St Martins, was built remains unknown but possibly dates to around 1300. This is on Church Lane. There is also a Methodist Chapel built in 1852 on Chapel Street in the village, a village hall on School Lane which can be hired for private functions and a local pub, The Nags Head, on Main Street. A large garden centre is on the Ashby Road and Stapleton boasts of its own cricket club.Stapleton is situated approximately ten miles south west of Leicester's city centre, six miles north-east of Nuneaton and two miles west of the town of Earl Shilton, so amenities on offer are extensive.

The Midlands are essentially central to everything in England: airports, motorways and train stations are easily accessible. For example, the East Midlands airport is only 20 miles away, London is approximately 107 miles away and it is possible to visit the seaside for a day trip! The M1, M69 and M6 maximise the potential for travel by road from this central location. The villages of Thurmaston, Syston, Wanlip and Thurcaston are close by. Situated three miles north of Leicester city centre, Birstall is in the civil parish of Charnwood and due to its proximity to the city, it is considered part of the wider urban area. Following the route of the A6, the centre of the village is off Sibson Road. On the north of the village, the A6 meets the A46 Leicester Western bypass, which continues to Loughborough along the Soar valley. The Grand Union Canal is on the eastern edge of the area, adjacent to Watermead Country Park, which is a series of lakes in the bottom of the Soar valley. The park is a popular destination and has meadow and reed nature reserves, play trails with landmarks, and provides opportunities for walkers and cyclists to link up to the city paths or to wider open countryside along the valley. It is within walking distance from the centre of Birstall village but has large parking facilities too. Leicester City and parish councils have been keen to conserve and reintroduce green belt natural areas for the public to enjoy and there are others within the county. To discover those and find information relating to the services within the area parishesbirstall would be worth checking out.The original small village of Birstall was identified as 'Burstalle' in the 1086 Domesday Book. The name means 'settlement built on the site of a fortification'. At that time the sixteen acres of meadow land and a mill, were owned by Hugh de Grandmesnil and gradually grew in size, occupied by various settlers until the arrival of the Great Central Railway in 1899, when the area really developed. It continues to be a popular region with the latest addition to the area being Hallam Fields, a development on land to the west of the A6. Today, Birstall appeals to the community through a wide selection of sport, education and leisure amenities. There are an array of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and parks, with the additional benefits of reaching the city of Leicester by public or private transport. Close by on the northern edge of the village is the Park and Ride bus park. The village is well served by several bus companies including Kinch, Centre bus, Skylink and Arriva Midlands.Birstall has its own library, Post Office LE4 4JE and dental and medical practices such as Greengate Medical Centre and Birstall Medical Centre. There are three churches including the parish church which has been on the site since Saxon times. St James the Great was restored in 1869 and enlarged in 1961. The church hall is the building once used as the village school. There are a number of schools in the village; Riverside Primary, Hallam Fields Primary, Highcliffe Primary and Cedars Academy. The Office for Standards in Education - OFSTED is best researched to provide a comprehensive review of currently rated standards of practice.Additional information:EPC - CLocal Authority - Charnwood Borough CouncilCouncil Tax Banding - FBroadband Speed - 1130Mb For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_leicester-d196270/for-sale_i70165372

Approached via a private, tree-lined drive which passes through the parkland, the house stands in a secluded rural position surrounded by beautiful mature trees.The main house is a striking villa-style property constructed originally for the Hind family, owners of the Swithland slate quarry. It has been in the vendors' family since 1910, with the main house used as a residential care home up to 2008. It is now in need of significant renovation and improvement, but retains many fine period details and features, whilst providing for a variety of future uses, subject to the necessary planning permission.SituationWhetstone Pastures House lies just south of Whetstone, about 7 miles to the south of Leicester City Centre, and within easy reach of the excellent motorway network in the Midlands linking to Rugby, Northampton, Coventry, Nottingham, Derby and Birmingham.Communication links are excellent, Junction 21 of the M1 lies a few miles north, at Leicester, which also provides mainline rail connections to London St Pancras International in a little over an hour. Birmingham and East Midlands Airports are approximately 40 and 33 miles from the property respectively.AccommodationWhetstone Pastures House provides accommodation extending to about 11,372 square feet gross internal area over three floors (with substantial cellars on top of that area), with largely rendered elevations under hipped Swithland slate roofs and stucco chimney stacks. Although the house requires a full programme of renovation, it could be restored to its former glory and offers many fine original features including cornices, sash windows, fireplaces and wooden panelling.The house is entered through a central Doric portico, with slate steps and pedestals which rise to half-glazed double front doors. There is a central hall, which is flanked by four reception rooms, and offers a connecting passage to the former ballroom, with an impressive bay window overlooking the front drive. The rear wing incorporates the former kitchens and domestic offices, with access to the stable courtyard to the east.An early 19th century staircase with double stick balusters and a ramped, scrolled hardwood hand rail rises to the first floor.
