For Sale6 Bedroom Detached House in Archers Lane, Peckleton, LE9£795,000

An impressive property This executive property exudes quality, strength of design and attention to detail from the very first glance. When approaching from Archers Lane, mature trees and shrubs surround the house, giving it an air of privacy and maturity. Bordered with a manicured and spacious front garden, there are two separate wide drives that lead up to a most desirable and highly original home. From the driveways, the size and style of the property can really be appreciated. This is a beautifully proportioned house that is distinguishable with its intersecting and overlaid hip and valley roof, white, multi paned windows and red brick exterior. Dormer windows and a chimney pot, complimented with a white rendered double garage, provide a mixture of features that indicate the size and quality of the residence. Constructed in 1978, this detached property with its distinctive farmland setting, has been tastefully maintained by the original owners. It was built by a local independent builder who had a particular commitment to its quality, specification and layout as he was both its creator and householder. In 1990 a further separate double garage was built in the grounds and the house was extended. The extension created an annexe wing, providing a second staircase, extra bedrooms with shared bathroom and a separate reception room, presently serving as a snug. Here, we have an idyllically positioned six bedroom – one with an en-suite - detached property in excellent condition, with four reception rooms, a large kitchen and pantry, utility room, and two double garages, with two family bathrooms and a downstairs cloakroom, set in established, well stocked, landscaped gardens. This is a fantastic opportunity for any desiring a new home with the Leicestershire countryside on the doorstep and the convenience of commuter routes to major road networks: the most significant being the M1, M69 and M42. The warmest of welcomes. As the house is entered from the drive through the porch and into the main carpeted hall, there are several doors opening into reception rooms, the kitchen and annexe hall. Primary features here include the staircase and exposed brickwork. The former has curved wrought iron balusters, a medium oak newel post and handrail. It ascends from a light and airy space and is invocative of the impression you will gain throughout this property. This is not only due to the neutrality of the interior such as white panelled doors accessorised with brass fixtures but the rooms are well proportioned and often have dual aspects overlooking the garden and further afield, open countryside and farmland. The bright kitchen is fitted with solid wood cabinetry against two sides at floor and wall level providing storage. It has exposed wooden beams running along the ceiling with rotatable spot lights providing functional lighting. There is ample space to comfortably fit in a dining table and chairs. The colour of the units is contrasted with light worktops and cream floor tiles. A sink unit is positioned under the window overlooking the drive and garden, with another window looking towards the patio at the rear. The kitchen has a freestanding double oven and overhead extractor fan, integrated dishwasher and a freestanding fridge. There is a large shelved pantry and across the hall, an adjoining utility room with additional sink unit, freestanding fridge freezer, storage units and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The hall is the internal passageway between the front and rear of the house. It provides access directly into the rear garden and a convenient entry point if the adjoining garage has been used or if vehicles have been parked on the drive. The roof of the white rendered garage slopes beyond the wall of the building, providing protection against the weather, as the house is entered. Beyond the utility room there is a private carpeted study which has dual aspect windows; one glazed for privacy and multiple sockets to cater for office equipment requirements. The dining room can be entered from the kitchen and main entrance hall and has leafy vistas looking towards the side and front of the property. As with the study, the dining room offers flexibility and has the potential to be used for other purposes. Let’s have a wander. From the main entrance hall, the remaining reception rooms can be entered. The largest of these is the bespoke lounge. This has a feature fireplace and hearth, created with the exposed brickwork included in the hall. It is a large carpeted room with wall and ceiling light fixtures. There are two adjoining parts divided by the diagonal wall that houses the chimney. The first sub room offers the privacy of a sitting room or snug while being open to the larger lounge space that has sliding glass doors opening out into the lovely gardens. The annexe wing There are two remaining rooms accessible from the main entrance hall. The first is closest to the kitchen and provides a downstairs cloak room with toilet and wash basin. The second is the entrance hall housing the second winder staircase that is carpeted and has an oak handrail and newel posts. It leads to a first floor landing and the annexe wing bedrooms. Alongside the staircase on the ground floor is the reception room for the annexe wing, the snug. It has a large integrated cupboard and overlooks the rear garden. Above, the landing has three doors opening into two generously sized double bedrooms and a bathroom. The bathroom has a grey three piece suite comprising of a bath, toilet and corner basin unit. Patterned tiling in grey and white is on three walls. The master suite and remaining bedrooms The cluster of bedrooms on either side of the property provide versatile options to cater for diverse requirements. All the rooms are spacious and those accessible from the winder staircase offer the privacy of a guest suite. There are four, larger than standard double bedrooms on the original first floor with the master bedroom having fitted wardrobes and ample drawers/cupboards, and a feature arch to one bedroom, with the dormer window features providing additional space and light. The master bedroom has its own shower room and has been well maintained. It is presented and fitted to a high standard, with a walk in shower, toilet and hand basin. The family bathroom has a step up bath, shower cubicle, toilet and hand basin. The garden and garages The landscaped gardens contain lawn, hedges, paths and plants, including established trees, perennials and shrubs of many kinds. A sun patio, raised stone wall beds and a wooden pergola create delightful features and although there is undoubtedly room to add further to the abundance of planting, it might be advisable to observe how the seasons bring change into this beautiful garden while admiring the views of a rural landscape.
