Listed 25 Aug 2026 · price reduced 29 Sept 2026 · Market Harborough
The Property This impressive and substantial four-bedroom detached family home offers exceptionally spacious and versatile accommodation, generous private gardens and superb off-road parking, all within a highly desirable area of Market Harborough.
The ground floor is particularly impressive, with a large and welcoming entrance hallway providing access to three generous reception rooms, offering tremendous flexibility for modern family life. These spaces are currently suited to a formal living room, home office/study and an additional snug/family room, but could equally be adapted to suit a playroom, cinema room or further entertaining space.
At the heart of the home is the large open-plan kitchen and dining area, creating a fantastic sociable space for everyday family life and entertaining. This is complemented by a separate utility room and downstairs W.C., providing excellent practicality and storage.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues with a generous landing and four genuine double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, with extensive double fitted wardrobes and its own private en-suite shower room.
The remaining bedrooms are served by a substantial family bathroom featuring both a full-size bath and separate large shower, making the first floor exceptionally well suited to family living.
Outside is another major feature of the property. The landscaped rear garden offers an excellent degree of privacy, with established trees and planting creating a mature, secluded setting and significantly screening the property from neighbouring homes. A generous decked entertaining area leads directly onto the lawn, providing plenty of space for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining.
To the front, the property benefits from an exceptionally large driveway with parking for approximately eight vehicles, together with a separate double garage — a particularly valuable feature for larger families, multiple vehicles or those requiring additional storage.
The property also offers potential for further extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions, providing an exciting opportunity for a future owner to further enhance an already substantial home.
Location
The property occupies a highly convenient position within the popular market town of Market Harborough, combining easy access to the town centre with schools, countryside and everyday amenities close at hand.
Wellington Place Primary School is just a couple of minutes’ walk away, while a number of other well-regarded schools are also within easy reach, including Robert Smyth Academy, Welland Park Academy, Market Harborough Church of England Academy and Brooke House College.
Market Harborough town centre is approximately a 20-minute walk away, offering an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and everyday amenities. The surrounding area also provides an abundance of country parks, footpaths and countryside walks, making the location particularly appealing for families and those who enjoy the outdoors.
For commuters, Market Harborough railway station provides excellent rail connections, including direct services towards London St Pancras, while the town is also well positioned for access to the wider road network.
Offering four double bedrooms, three reception rooms, an impressive open-plan kitchen/diner, extensive fitted storage, beautifully landscaped private gardens, a double garage and exceptional driveway parking, this is a substantial and highly versatile family home in one of Market Harborough’s most convenient residential locations.
