Property description
The Meadows is situated on a generous plot at the top of a private tree-lined driveway, with views over open countryside. The current three bedroom house and garaging / outbuildings offer exciting potential to extend and update (subject to necessary consents) to create a large country house on a plot of approximately 0.4 acre.
Location
Surrounded by open countryside, Great Oxendon lies less than 3 miles to the south of the medieval market town of Market Harborough. The village benefits from a popular farm shop, church and village hall which provide a focal point for the local community. The village pub is currently undergoing restoration, having been taken over by the proprietors of The Joiners Arms - a thriving gastro pub in nearby Bruntingthorpe, one of only three establishments in Leicestershire to be awarded a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide in 2012. Market Harborough is a thriving market town that provides superb shopping with independent boutiques, a theatre, bars / restaurants, and a recently opened Waitrose. There are riding and equestrian facilities found locally as well as two golf courses; Pitsford Water is close by for water sports, sailing and fishing enthusiasts.
Communications
Communication links are excellent with the A14 approx. five miles to the south giving access to the M1 and M6 to the west, in turn providing access to Birmingham International, Coventry and East Midlands Airports. Direct mainline train services are available from Market Harborough to London St Pancras from 55 minutes whilst additional improvements are scheduled to the track, station and electrification of the line, to shorten journey times further.
Description
The Meadows is approached via a private, tree-lined shared driveway arriving at a large gravelled parking area, in turn approaching a triple garage / workshop and office. The property is entered via a conservatory to the front elevation which leads onto the dining room with parquet wood flooring running through to the light-filled sitting room with dual-aspect windows and feature fireplace. The well fitted kitchen has a breakfast bar, space for range style cooker, space for fridge/freezer, fitted micro/second oven and warming draw. A utility area and shower room complete the ground floor accommodation. To the first floor, the dual-aspect master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and two additional bedrooms and bathroom complete the internal accommodation.
Outside
Sitting centrally in its plot, the outdoor area is a principle feature of The Meadows. To the front of the house, the large gravelled parking area gives way to a triple garage / workshop and office area with stairs to a first floor area over part of the structure. The property is afforded great privacy by a mature wooded area to the front whilst a large lawned area leads up to the south facing patio on the front elevation. To the eastern elevation is a further lawned area, interspersed by mature shrub borders leading to the rear of the property and another large lawned area with a mature tree line at the boundary, beyond which are open fields looking toward the village church and beyond over open countryside. In all, approximately 0.4 acre.
