CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

The property is set in a wonderful location but required considerate extensions and remodelling to seize the spectacular all round countryside panorama. The floor plan has completely changed. The removal of the conservatory opened up the space, and the remodelling skilfully bestowed more rooms the south facing elevated views of Charnwood Forest and the valley beyond. The gorgeous semi-circular bay windows have been complemented with floor to ceiling picture windows in the new kitchen diner, sun room and two of the new bedrooms to soak up the views. One can now lie in bed taking in the blissful tranquillity of the surroundings.

 

Handsome timber exuding a natural rugged elegance features externally and internally, seamlessly entwining the outside in. Flagstone terraces extend the space and provide access to steps down to the entertainment space, rolling lawns and mature gardens. The new triple garage benefits from a bedroom, kitchenette and living area overhead with its own private access. The property has been fitted throughout with fixtures, fittings and rich materials of the highest specification that provide the ultimate luxurious finish.
