Description

Set on an elevated plot of approximately 0.53 acres, this detached dormer bungalow offers panoramic views across the Welland Valley and is located in a desirable village of Leicestershire. Constructed in the 1950s, the property showcases unique character elements including original parquet flooring and wooden double glazing, while being equipped with oil-fired central heating. This residence is offered with no upward chain, making it an appealing opportunity for both investors and potential homeowners looking to refurbish or redevelop the site (subject to necessary planning approvals). The spacious interior features a welcoming entrance porch that leads into a hall accented by an eye-catching spiral staircase. The ground floor layout includes practical facilities such as a WC and separate shower room, alongside a well-sized kitchen with cream units and solid oak worktops. This kitchen provides lovely views over the front garden towards the valley and connects to a utility room as well as another WC. Two generously proportioned reception rooms take advantage of the rear garden vistas, complemented by a conservatory ideal for all-season use. Additionally, two bedrooms on this level offer flexible living arrangements, while upstairs presents two more bedrooms including one with an ensuite. The exterior boasts mature gardens both at the front and rear, with the rear garden featuring diverse specimen trees, established flower borders, a paved terrace area, vegetable plots, and even a greenhouse for gardening enthusiasts. To the front of the property lies ample off-road parking along with a detached double garage plus an adjoining storeroom. Situated in Middleton village—eight miles from Market Harborough—residents benefit from local amenities such as shops and schools within nearby Cottingham. The location also offers easy access to key transport routes and rail links to London St Pancras.
