Property description
Lake House is a four bedroom detached house circa 2800 square feet offering outstanding potential to update and extend.Alternatively, planning permission has been granted for a contemporary house extending to 6000 square feet in place of the existing property.
Summary
Lake House is set in grounds of 1.3 acres, formerly part of Oxendon Hall Estate, in a village location close to the highly regarded town of Market Harborough. Approached via a privately owned shared drive, the current 1970's built house occupies a private lakeside setting and requires updating. Alternatively, the current property could be demolished with planning permission granted for the construction of a contemporary house extending to 6,000 sq ft.

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.
