The Property

Set in grounds of approximately 1.4 acres, Glebe House is a commanding rural home,
enjoying extensive views over open countryside to the hamlet of Gaulby, and much
further beyond.

The improvement of Glebe House leaves it unrecognisable from its 1960s origins, now
creating a striking image of a modern home set amongst rolling Leicestershire
countryside. A comprehensive transformation has entirely remodelled, extended and
improved the house, which has been completed to an exceptionally high specification.

The tone is set from the moment you walk into the entrance hall, with uninterrupted
views from the hallway through the stunning kitchen and out through the large picture
windows to the gardens beyond.

The specification of the property has been completed with an eye for detail, - the
ultramodern, luxury kitchen by German designers Next125 features contrasting ceramic
and walnut wood effect units, and has been finished with a Quooker autoboiling tap,
Blanco sink, Bora Professional Induction Hob with discreet undercounter extractor, four
Miele ovens including steam and microwave, Miele Wine Cooler and Dishwasher, and
Sub Zero Refrigerator and Freezer. To the far wall, large Anthracite Aluminium sliding
doors open out onto an extensive rear terrace, perfectly framing the view, and a
substantial lantern floods light into the kitchen. The kitchen is open plan to the dining
area, which in turn leads through to a less formal playroom or family room, before
leading to the fully glazed modern garden room with large roof lantern over. Returning
to an inner hall, the utility room has been fitted with units providing supplementary
storage space, and a Samsung washing machine.

Elsewhere, the high quality of the specification continues, with custom fitted doors in
Walnut by Solid Wooden Doors of Chelsea, and the ground floor is tiled with high gloss
Graspania tiles, oak flooring, and herringbone hardwood flooring to the drawing room.
Across the rear of the house, sliding doors allow lots of light in, and create a sense of
the outside in, with the wrap around terrace being easily accessed from the majority of
the ground floor rooms. The drawing room is finished with a contemporary feel. In
addition, to the ground floor there is also a useful study, and a large room that is
currently fitted as a gym.

From the entrance hall, a bespoke curved staircase in American Walnut and Glass rises
to the first floor, where a modern glass balustraded, galleried landing with skylights
above floods light into the hallway below.

The six bedrooms are all of an excellent size, four of which having views over the garden
and to the fields beyond. The principal suite has a substantial dressing room, with
carefully selected finishings to the en-suite including floor to ceiling tiles by Porcelanosa,
a large Villeroy and Boch bath and oversized walk in shower. An expansive view through
the full height window to the south-western elevation capturing the ever-changing
countryside beyond.

The three further first floor bathrooms are finished with Villeroy & Boch, Grohe and
Bisque fittings, and complementing Porcelanosa tiles, with a shower room on the ground
floor also offering the same level of luxury

OUTSIDE

Glebe House is approached through electric Aluminium gates across
an extensive block paved driveway to the front of the property and
the garages.

The gardens are landscaped, with an extensive terrace wrapping
around the rear and side of the house. An outdoor swimming pool
sits to one side, with a porcelain tiled surround and retractable Walu
safety cover and to one side has a changing area and pump room.

The views from the garden are outstanding, across wide open
countryside to the Hamlet of Gaulby and beyond. In all the plot
extends to approximately 1.4 acres, of which 0.8 acres is classed as
paddock.
