A superbly extended family home offering generous, flexible living space perfectly suited to modern life.

Blackfordby is a charming and close-knit village in North West Leicestershire, set on the edge of the National Forest and surrounded by beautiful countryside. It offers a strong community spirit and a range of local amenities, including a well-regarded primary school, the traditional Black Lion pub, and a vibrant village hall hosting regular activities and events. The village also benefits from scenic walking routes and green spaces, with the nearby town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch providing further shops, cafés, restaurants and services.

Set back from the lane behind a deep, block-paved frontage providing excellent off-road parking, this beautifully presented home makes an immediate impression. Sheltered beneath a generous canopy porch and carport, the entrance opens into a welcoming hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor and setting the tone for the quality found throughout. The true showpiece of the home is the exceptional rear extension, creating a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family living space – perfectly designed for modern living and entertaining. Finished in soft grey cabinetry, the kitchen is both elegant and highly functional, complemented by quartz worktops and returns. A substantial central island with breakfast-bar seating for four forms the social hub of the room, complete with a double-bowl Belfast-style sink and mixer tap. Integrated appliances include a five-ring gas hob with extractor, double oven and dishwasher, while a cleverly concealed pantry cupboard opens to reveal generous hidden storage, with further space tucked neatly beneath the stairs. There is ample room for a large L-shaped family sofa and a full dining table, creating a warm and inviting setting for everyday life.

Bi-fold doors with integrated blinds fold effortlessly back, seamlessly connecting the interior with the outdoors – ideal for summer entertaining. Outside, the south-facing garden unfolds across a multi-level paved terrace offering a choice of seating areas. Steps lead down to a generous lawn and a second, lower patio with pergola above, perfectly positioned to enjoy the final glow of the evening sun.

Enhancing the practicality of the home is a superb utility room fitted with high-gloss cabinetry, tall storage cupboards and an inset sink, with space for both washing machine and tumble dryer. A beautifully styled guest cloakroom completes the ground floor, featuring a corner vanity wash basin, WC and striking contemporary acoustic panelling.

Upstairs, a contemporary glass and oak balustrade leads to three impressive king-size bedrooms, all beautifully proportioned and filled with natural light. These are served by a luxurious refitted family bathroom, featuring a freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower, elegant wash-hand basin with panelled backdrop, and sleek high-gloss storage cabinetry.

This outstanding home effortlessly combines style, space and practicality – perfectly suited for modern family life and entertaining alike.
