Hidden from view and sat back behind a long sweeping driveway approach passing through beautiful mature gardens, this stunning family home lies right in the heart of the ever sought after village of Packington.

Packington is a charming village nestled in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside, just one and a half miles from the historic market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, which offers a variety of boutique shops and restaurants. At the heart of the village community, you’ll find the excellent Daybreak Services village shop, the dog-friendly Poochies of Packington coffee shop, a stunning Norman church, an active village hall, a well-regarded primary school, and the welcoming 17th-century pub, The Bull & Lion. With its strong sense of community and excellent local amenities, Packington is an ideal place to raise a family.

The welcoming reception hallway sits at the heart of the home, featuring ornate ceiling coving, a dado rail and doors leading to the main living and sleeping areas. The first of two living rooms is positioned at the front of the property benefiting from a bright south-facing aspect with dual-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. Elegant details include ceiling coving and a half-height dado rail, while the focal point of the room is a charming fireplace with a fitted Yeoman living flame log effect gas stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The second living room is ideally situated at the rear of the home, just off the family breakfast kitchen, and features patio doors that open directly onto the patio and mature gardens, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. This living room also has an inglenook type fireplace with a fitted Ravel living flame log effect gas stove.

The Heart of the Home

A one-and-a-half bowl sink with a mixer tap is set beneath a wide picture window overlooking the rear gardens. High-quality appliances include a five-ring gas hob with extractor hood, an integrated oven, grill and microwave. Durable and stylish LVT flooring runs throughout the space offering both practicality and elegance. There is ample room for a large family breakfast table, with a glazed door leading outside.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a fantastic walk-in pantry featuring a raised quarry tiled thrawl, open shelving and a side-facing window.
