HEADING
An attractive self built country home with 6 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, large kitchen/family room, 14 acres of land with stables, set within private gardens opposite the village church.
.
A spacious and versatile family home constructed in 2006 with ground source heating, 14 acres with 4 stables and private gated driveway.
Set back from the road, this lovely house, designed by its owners, is a reflection of their dedication and attention to detail. Conveniently placed in this pretty village, opposite the village church, the house, on its large plot, is surrounded by large amounts of open land with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside.

VENDORS COMMENTS
The owners project managed the whole construction of the build, but employed an architect to draw up their design and local artisan builders; the end result being a truly spectacular home. It operates on an extremely low carbon footprint, with extra insulation and a ground source heat pump. Category 5 wiring was also integrated into the build to enable full media and entertainment access. The contemporary, inspirational, design cleverly places the study and family activity room at the front of the house, whilst the main reception rooms are at the rear, providing panoramic views over the garden and beyond and capturing sunlight from dawn until dusk, a special luxury also enjoyed from the master bedroom with its balcony.
.
There are beautiful marble floors leading from the hall into the large kitchen/dining/family room, which opens out onto a large patio area and this huge space is perfect for large gatherings of family and friends. Earlier this year, a younger member of the family was able to hold a successful end of season celebration in the garden with members of his football team and their parents. The end of the garden leads into the large paddock containing stables, from which there is easy access into numerous surrounding bridleways and glorious countryside.
.
Sapcote is a small, active village, with many opportunities to pursue hobbies and sports at the recently completed Community Pavilion. There is a convenience store in the village, with all other facilities and amenities available in nearby, easily accessed, towns and cities, together with major roads, motorways and rail links. Stoney Cove, on the outskirts of the village, is home for the National Scuba Diving and Snorkeling Centre, which is popular throughout the locality.
The owners will miss many things about their lovely home, not the least of which are the stunning views, which greet the family as they awake each day, no matter what the season.

LOCATION
Sapcote is a small village in the south west of Leicestershire, England, with a population of approximately 2,700. The well-known inland scuba diving site Stoney Cove is nearby. From the 12th-14th century the village was the home of the powerful Basset family. Ralph de Basset was High Sheriff of England and, possibly, the first Member of Parliament, being the first Lord to be called to the Barons Parliament by Simon de Montfort. The oldest surviving building in the village is the 12th century All Saints Parish Church, an elegant well-proportioned building of Early English style. The village now offers the Red Lion Pub which provides hot food and evening entertainment along with other events organised by the villagers. There is a primary school and sports club.
