Detached house for sale in High Street, Packington LE65

You’ll find more than generous parking on arrival, with plenty of space on the gated driveway for at least four cars to the front, and further parking to the rear. And, inside, this lovely home is no less substantial.

Formerly the village shop and post office before its conversion some twenty years ago, No.18 now perfectly blends modernity with space, having been extended further thereafter. The large entrance hallway keeps everything shipshape with its built-in storage, and just off here there’s a downstairs WC and a study, which, together with superfast broadband, makes for a great home office. Engineered oak flooring flows through much of the ground floor, and the snug is no exception. Curl up here with a good book or favourite podcast and recharge your batteries.

White gloss cabinetry features in the breakfast kitchen, where appliances are integrated and garden views reign. Enjoy a coffee and catch up with friends at the island, and rustle up a bite to eat on the range cooker. There’s ample room to devour it in the dining area with tiled flooring underfoot. Meanwhile the utility room makes laundry days a breeze, and ensures the kitchen is always guest-ready!

A log burner keeps the bright and airy lounge as warm as toast on the chilliest of days, and double doors flow through into the dining room, allowing you to be as flexible with this space as you wish.

Upstairs, the principal suite is impressive, with built-in wardrobes and en suite with double shower, as well as a bath for long soaks. Open the double doors onto the gorgeous balcony and watch the sunrise over the picturesque Leicestershire countryside from this elevated vantage point.

There are three further double rooms - perfect for growing, and fully grown, families alike, and a single bedroom, with plenty of wardrobe space amongst them. And the family bathroom features a modern white suite with ‘P shaped’ bath, perfect for bathing with the added convenience of a shower.

The second floor is where you’ll find the sixth bedroom with its stylish wooden floors, ideal for a guest suite or teen crib, complete with its own en suite shower room. Stargaze through Velux windows by night and bask in brightness by day.

Outside, you’ll find a capacious garage and workshop (2.5 size) with vaulted ceiling, complete with power, just ripe for conversion. Whether you envisage a gym, studio, workshop or annex, let the only limit be your imagination – subject to the usual planning consents, of course. Sunshine streams into the good-sized garden for much of the day, where you can happily potter to your heart’s content, and relax or entertain as the mood takes you. Retreat to the conservatory, with air conditioning for tea and crumpets, where you can enjoy garden views all year round.

The property benefits from solar panels, loads of storage and a burglar alarm
