Welcome to Bringhurst. Unique and sublime. A bespoke home, commissioned and enjoyed by the present owners for nearly 30 years. With over 1,700 Sq. Ft of accommodation and scope to extend/convert (subject to usual consents), it has panoramic open views and an approx. 1.9 acre total plot with consent for agricultural. This, quite simply is a dream country retreat.

Accommodation - Love, care and thoughtful attention to detail, as well as design, will spring to mind as you step inside the welcoming porch. Handy fitted storage provides space for coats and boots. The hall beyond, has its own spacious, secure, built-in storage cupboard leads you through to the sitting room, where you will immediately feel comfy and struck by the natural light flooding the room at all times of the day, through the bow window, windows and sliding patio doors offering spectacular views. A perfect spot to retreat to round the Calor gas living flame fire during winter evenings. An open arch leads round to the dining room which in turn leads to the conservatory beyond, both of which enjoy the views of open countryside, as well as the 1.6 acre paddock.

A farmhouse style breakfast kitchen offers plenty of handy storage within the bespoke oak fitted cupboards that offer ample work space above. Your eyes will be drawn to the views once again. The utility room has its own convenient access to the garden and paddock, and houses an integrated fridge freezer complementing the integrated appliances within the kitchen.

The master bedroom takes in the views over the paddock and open countryside. There is ample storage space within the cherrywood wardrobes and cupboards. The ensuite feels spacious and is well equipped with a double shower cubicle, wash hand basin within a cherrywood vanity, bidet and WC. You will also find two further bedrooms both with fitted cherrywood wardrobes and cupboards, the smaller bedroom is currently used as a study. The family bathroom also feels spacious and has a five piece suite including both a bath and walk in shower cubicle.

Outside - The landscaped gardens are simply sublime from the moment you come through the five-bar gate past the hydrangeas and into the private drive leading to the double detached garage, (with twin electric up and over doors, as well as personnel door to the side). A discreet tucked away garden offers scope for a vegetable patch as well as discretion for airing laundry. To the other side of Bringhurst you will find a tucked away terrace, fully kitted and equipped for breeding or keeping dogs.

Special Note - We have been informed that the paddock to the rear of approx. 1.6 acres has right of way, accessed to and from the five-bar gate, situated at the northwest corner, across the neighbouring paddock. A restrictive covenant is on the paddock preventing the erection of any structure other than for agricultural use.

Location - Skeffington is a thriving village with a strong sense of community with many high quality individual homes of historical interest. The popularity of the area is a combination of attractive countryside, excellent schooling and accessibility to major centres of employment and interest within Leicester, Market Harborough, Oakham and Uppingham.

Directional Note - From Market Harborough, proceed northbound via Leicester Road, continuing over the A6 roundabout onto the B6047 passing through the villages of Church Langton and Tur Langton towards the A47. At the junction of the A47 turn right and continue along the A47 as signposted to Skeffington, turning right and entering the village along the Main Street. Follow the road round and on passing the church on your right hand side take a left turn after passing the church in to Rolleston Road. Where you will find the driveway entrance, signposted on red brick wall and identified by our For Sale board on your right hand side.
