5 bedroom house

A delightful Grade II Listed family home in Kibworth’s historic centre with generous accommodation and a delightful 0.75 of an acre plot.

Accommodation - The Old Barn is a fascinating family home, converted from a period barn dating from the late 17th Century with later additions, constructed principally in brick with a timber frame with both a Swithland and Welsh slate roof, all adding to the charm and character of this fine house.

The Old Barn is understood to have been part of the original outbuildings to the adjacent Old House, which many consider to be one of the most beautiful Carolean houses within the country.

The Old Barn is entered through an entrance lobby with useful cupboards and a cloakroom off. This leads directly into an extremely impressive double height entrance hall with a staircase to the first floor. There are three significant reception rooms, all having high ceilings, many original features and windows orientating towards the west. A particularly comfortable dining kitchen is well fitted with a spacious utility room adjacent.

On the first floor are five bedrooms, the spacious master having an ensuite, and a family bathroom. The accommodation extends to 3200 Sq. Ft or thereabouts.

Outside - The Old Barn is entered via a wide gravelled driveway, ample car/boat standing and a substantial brick built triple garage. To the rear is a greenhouse, with the ground mainly lawned, with numerous mature specimen trees, and paddocks and gardens backing onto protected open countryside.

Location - Situated in the Conservation Area of the highly sought after Kibworth Harcourt, a thriving south Leicestershire village, renowned for the quality and variety of the housing stock. Kibworth offers amenities catering for all day-to-day needs including fashionable restaurants, pubs and eateries and a selection of high quality independent shopping in addition to a health centre, post office and parish church. Sporting facilities are well catered for by renowned cricket, golf and tennis clubs and a park with tennis and recreational area.

Schooling in both the state and private sector is well catered for with Kibworth Primary School being rated outstanding by Ofsted which filters into Kibworth High School. The Leicester Grammar and Stoneygate Schools are located a short drive away in nearby Great Glen. A more comprehensive range of amenities are available within Market Harborough and Leicester, both accessible via the A6 and both offering mainline rail transport to London St Pancras.

Directional Note - Proceed out of Market Harborough heading in a northerly direction on the A6 as signposted to Kibworth. On entering the village of Kibworth along the A6, take a right hand turn into Main Street just after the Rose and Crown development, where the property may be found on the left hand side, opposite Old House.
