The Dairy, Swepstone

A beautifully proportioned home offering generous and versatile accommodation, this impressive property combines elegant reception rooms with a superb open-plan living dining kitchen, four spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms and exceptional private gardens, all set within an exclusive courtyard development of similar homes.

The Location – Nestled within the rolling countryside of North West Leicestershire, Swepstone is a small, traditional village with a distinctly rural character and a peaceful, close-knit feel. Its attractive surroundings offer a welcome escape from busier town life, while the neighbouring market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch is within convenient reach. Combining countryside charm with practical connections to the wider East Midlands, Swepstone is an appealing choice for those looking to enjoy a quieter pace of life.

Ground Floor – You enter into a spacious reception hallway, where an oak staircase sweeps upwards to a part-galleried landing. Above, a vaulted ceiling with an inset skylight draws natural light into the space. Immediately to the right is a useful cloaks area, fitted with a wall of cupboards incorporating hanging space and shelving, leading through to the guest cloakroom, which is appointed with a WC and floating wash hand basin with tiled splashback.

Half-glazed double doors open into the living room, an inviting reception space centred around an attractive feature fireplace with raised hearth and inset log-burning stove, creating a welcoming focal point during the colder months. A window overlooks the gardens, while French doors open directly onto one of the property’s various patio areas, providing a lovely connection between the house and its outdoor surroundings.

Returning to the hallway, a further set of half-glazed double doors leads into a generous formal dining room. Two rear-facing windows provide natural light, while French doors again open onto the patio area, which enjoys a desirable westerly aspect. This is an ideal setting for alfresco family dining and entertaining, with plenty of room for a substantial dining table.

The third reception room is a well-appointed home office, fitted with bespoke furniture incorporating an extensive arrangement of shelving, storage cupboards and a dedicated desk area. Tall, three-pane glazed barn-style windows to the front provide an attractive architectural feature while bringing light into the room.

A particular highlight is the impressive living dining kitchen, providing a spacious and sociable environment ideally suited to modern family life and entertaining. Full tiled flooring runs throughout, with ample room for a large dining table and a comfortable family seating area. The kitchen is finished in oak cabinetry complemented by marble work surfaces and a substantial breakfast island with seating for four. There is space for a range cooker, together with an integrated dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. Three double-aspect windows, enjoying southerly and westerly views, combine with French doors opening onto the gardens to create a wonderfully light and welcoming space.

Leading off the kitchen is a useful side entrance hall/ boot room, with a skylight above and an internal door providing access to the double garage. A further door leads into the utility room, which offers additional appliance space, a sink with mixer tap and direct access to the rear gardens.

First Floor
The oak-balustraded staircase sweeps upwards to the first-floor landing, where oak doors lead to four generously proportioned bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive room, distinguished by its fabulous vaulted ceiling with inset skylight and dual-aspect windows. French doors open onto a wrought-iron Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens below, creating an attractive feature and allowing natural light to flood the room. The generous proportions provide ample space for a seating area, while a separate walk-in dressing area with fitted wardrobes leads to the private en-suite shower room.

Beautifully appointed, the en-suite features a vaulted ceiling with inset skylight, WC and a contemporary grey high-gloss vanity unit with inset wash hand basin and pillar mixer tap. The shower area is fully tiled and fitted with a rainfall showerhead and glazed screen.

Bedroom two is another spacious double room, benefiting from its own en-suite shower room. This comprises a WC, high-gloss vanity unit with inset wash hand basin and pillar mixer tap, together with a double-width enclosed shower area featuring tiled walls, sliding glazed doors, a rainfall showerhead and an additional handheld shower.

Bedrooms three and four are served by the family bathroom, finished in white and comprising a bath, WC, pedestal wash hand basin and a double-width enclosed shower with fully tiled surrounds and rainfall showerhead. A tall chrome ladder-style towel radiator completes the facilities.

Outside
The property occupies an enviable position within an exclusive private drive and large courtyard setting, surrounded by similar homes. Ample off-road parking is available to the front, with the driveway leading to the double garage.

The rear gardens are a particularly notable feature, offering generous outdoor space with a series of patio areas, areas of lawn, established planted borders and a small orchard.
