Cottons Way, Oakthorpe

An exceptional contemporary family home offering beautifully appointed accommodation designed for modern living, centred around a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with seamless garden connection, four generous double bedrooms and high-quality finishes throughout, all set within landscaped gardens backing onto open countryside.

Set on the edge of the charming village of Oakthorpe, this location offers an enviable lifestyle surrounded by nature while remaining effortlessly connected. With National Forest walks quite literally on the doorstep, days can be spent exploring woodland trails, cycling routes and open green spaces, with Conkers, Moira Furnace and Hicks Lodge all close by for family adventures and outdoor leisure. The village itself provides a welcoming community feel with a local shop, primary school and village hall, while the nearby market town of Ashby de la Zouch offers a broader range of shops, cafés and services. Despite its peaceful rural setting, excellent commuter links are close at hand, with the M42 providing easy access further afield-making this an ideal setting for relaxed country living without compromise.

A canopy porch shelters the central entrance door, flanked on either side by attractive picture windows, and opens into a welcoming reception hallway with oak flooring underfoot and a striking feature staircase rising to the first floor. Immediately to the left is a highly practical boot room and guest cloakroom, fitted with a WC and wash hand basin, which in turn leads through to the plant room housing the air source heating system-an ideal space for coats and outdoor wear after enjoying the many countryside walks available directly from the doorstep. To the right of the hallway is a second reception room, perfectly suited as a home office, snug or family playroom.

The standout feature of this impressive home is the full-width open-plan living, dining and family kitchen, where twin sets of bi-fold doors create a seamless connection between the interior and the garden beyond. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with sleek dark grey cabinetry complemented by a contrasting light grey island and an extensive range of high-end Siemens appliances, including an induction hob with extractor, two warming drawers, microwave, second oven, dishwasher and integrated coffee machine. Further highlights include a Fisher & Paykel American-style stainless steel fridge freezer and a dedicated wine chiller. A matching utility room sits adjacent, providing additional storage and a door to the side elevation.

The living area is centred around a striking stone fireplace with inset Nordpeis wood-burning stove, flanked by bespoke thick oak shelving. There is ample space for a family dining table, and the seamless integration of living, dining and kitchen zones creates a superb environment for both everyday family life and entertaining.

To the first floor, the oak staircase leads to a spacious galleried landing, again finished with oak flooring and oak doors giving access to four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive space, enjoying views across the rear garden and open fields beyond, with French double-glazed doors opening to a Juliet balcony. This bedroom benefits from a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a concealed cistern WC, floating wash hand basin, oversized shower enclosure with full-height tiling and mains shower, and a tall ladder-style towel radiator providing both warmth and comfort.

The remaining three bedrooms are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom, fitted with a crisp white suite comprising a panelled bath with full-height tiled surround, an oversized fully tiled shower enclosure with mains shower, floating wash hand basin with pillar mixer tap, concealed WC, ladder-style heated towel rail and a rear-facing window overlooking the gardens and countryside.

Outside, the property occupies an exclusive setting along a private driveway, offering extensive off-road parking and a detached double garage. The landscaped gardens lie predominantly to the rear and feature a composite decked terrace ideal for outdoor dining, generous lawned gardens wrapping around the rear of the garage, and a further large paved terrace. The gardens enjoy open views and back directly onto surrounding fields, creating a wonderful sense of space and privacy.
