Description
The Coplows is an impressive detached dormer residence resting in generous gardens on the edge of Tilton on the Hill, where Leicestershire gently meets Rutland. Remodelled and extended in recent years, it now offers the ease of contemporary living wrapped in the calm of open countryside – five double bedrooms, glorious open-plan living space and wide lawns that will appeal to families who enjoy both entertaining and quiet retreat. The property is available with no upward chain.
The Accommodation
A broad reception hall with engineered oak flooring sets a warm, modern tone and gives an immediate sense of space. Discreet built-in storage keeps coats and boots neatly to hand and also houses the Grant Vortex Eco oil-fired boiler.
To the rear, a peaceful sitting room looks out across the garden, with a glazed door and large window framing views of the lawn and trees. From here, or via striking double glazed doors from the hall, you step into the show-stopping living kitchen.
This open-plan space runs across the back of the house, deliberately designed so that cooking, dining and relaxing all happen together. A sharp corner of glass and full-height windows draw the landscape indoors, while wide doors open to the terrace for effortless summer gatherings. The kitchen is fitted with sleek contemporary cabinetry under stone worktops and a generous central island. High-quality appliances include Siemens double ovens, full-height fridge and freezer, dishwasher, Bora induction hob with integrated extraction, a Quooker boiling-water tap and a wine cooler – everything needed for serious cooks and easy family suppers alike.
Practical needs are well catered for: a separate utility room provides further storage, sink and appliance space, and there is a stylish guest cloakroom with a Duravit suite.
Three double bedrooms are arranged on the ground floor, ideal for multi-generational living or flexible use as home offices or playrooms. Two have fitted wardrobes, and all are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom with Duravit sanitaryware, bath with shower over, WC and vanity basin.
A contemporary staircase rises to the first floor where the dormer extension has created two superb bedroom suites. Each enjoys a floor-to-ceiling picture window making the most of the far-reaching views over the garden and surrounding countryside. Cleverly concealed doors lead to walk-in wardrobes and private ensuite shower rooms, giving both rooms the feel of boutique hotel suites – perfect as a principal bedroom and guest suite or separate teenage retreats.
Outside
The house sits well back from the lane. A wide block-paved in-and-out driveway, edged with slate and mature planting, provides an impressive approach and comfortable parking for several vehicles. The integral double garage has an electric roller door and internal access to the hallway.
To the side, a large secure garden store, accessible from both front and rear, houses the oil tank and offers excellent storage for garden machinery and outdoor furniture.
The rear garden is a particular feature: a broad terrace spans the back of the house, accessed from both the kitchen and sitting room, creating a wonderful outdoor living and dining area. Steps fall to a sweeping lawn surrounded by mature trees, hedging and shrubs, giving a high degree of privacy. In total, the plot extends to just under half an acre, providing plenty of space for children to play, keen gardeners to indulge a passion, or simply to enjoy the tranquillity of the setting.
Location
Tilton on the Hill is a well-regarded village set amid rolling east Leicestershire countryside. There is a village shop, parish church and popular pub, with further everyday amenities and renowned schooling found in Oakham, Uppingham, Market Harborough, Stamford and Leicester.
For the commuter, the A47 is close by, giving swift road links towards Leicester and Peterborough, while the A1 and M1 are both accessible for journeys further afield.
