Description

Pemberley House is a fabulous detached family home occupying a private position, discreetly set off a quiet lane in the heart of this highly regarded South Leicestershire village. Beautifully presented throughout, the property has been thoughtfully designed with interiors curated by a renowned local designer, creating a stylish yet comfortable living environment perfectly suited to modern family life.

Set within approximately one acre of landscaped gardens, the house enjoys uninterrupted views across open countryside, offering a rare combination of privacy and far-reaching rural outlooks. Electric gates open onto a sweeping driveway, providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles and access to the house and garaging.

An enclosed porch leads into a welcoming entrance hall, featuring a dog-leg staircase rising to the first floor, a guest cloakroom, and two fitted storage cupboards. The ground floor offers an excellent balance of reception space, including a generous lounge and music room—an impressive triple-aspect space centred around a striking stone fireplace, with French doors opening onto a side terrace and the gardens beyond. There are two further reception rooms comprising a cosy snug and a formal dining room.

The recently refitted kitchen is a standout feature, appointed with bespoke cabinetry from Portree Kitchens. It includes a butler’s sink, a large central island with seating, and integrated appliances including a wine cooler, dishwasher, and microwave (the range cooker is available by separate negotiation). The kitchen flows seamlessly into a bright dining area, where bi-fold doors open onto the rear terrace—ideal for casual dining and entertaining.

Beyond this lies a spacious utility/boot room, perfectly suited to country living, with access to the side garden and internal entry to the attached garage, which measures approximately 4.9m x 4.68m and is fitted with an electric roller door. In addition, there is a larger detached garage measuring approximately 6.35m x 5m, also benefiting from an electric roller door.

The first floor accommodation is arranged around a spacious galleried landing. The principal bedroom is an exceptional triple-aspect room with fitted cabinetry and a Juliet balcony, perfectly framing the breath taking countryside views. It is complemented by a luxurious ensuite bathroom featuring double vanity units, a freestanding bath, and a walk-in shower. A guest bedroom also benefits from its own ensuite, while two further double bedrooms and a single bedroom are served by a contemporary family shower room.

Outside, the grounds are a true highlight. The wraparound gardens are beautifully landscaped, with well-stocked flower borders, a variety of specimen trees, and several thoughtfully positioned seating areas designed to capture the sun throughout the day. The rear and side terraces provide superb spaces for outdoor entertaining, while a charming orchard offers a selection of cooking apple, eating apple, and plum trees.

Pemberley House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully finished home in a peaceful village setting, combining elegant interiors with exceptional outdoor space and far-reaching views.
