Welcome to Bosworth House, a residence of uncommon presence and scale, set discreetly behind brick walls along one of Husbands Bosworth’s most established lanes. A sweeping driveway announces arrival, drawing the eye towards this imposing country residence whose architecture speaks quietly of confidence rather than display. This is a home that has evolved with care, balancing historic grandeur with the expectations of contemporary living. Extending to over 11,000 square feet, the house unfolds with a sense of generosity and rhythm. Ceiling heights, proportions and light have been carefully preserved, allowing each principal room to feel both expansive and composed. Reception spaces flow with ease, offering the flexibility required for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life. Entrances rarely come as a grand as this flag stone hall, which invites you in to this home that is steeped in history and architectural features. Round the corner, a bespoke staircase is bathed in light which spills through an impression gothic-arched, chapel window. At the heart of the home, you will find, not one, but two kitchens. The formal kitchen, perfect for entertaining and gatherings, has been re-fitted with an extensive range of fitted units and central island with granite work surfaces, with a five oven Aga range, nestled within the original fireplace. The secondary, (spice), kitchen, is equipped with an equally extensive range of fitted units, complemented with high-spec appliances including a Samsung oven, Zanussi microwave and Neff dishwasher, making it an ideal, functional spice kitchen. Beyond here, is the laundry room, with plumbing for appliances. The cellar, which is accessed from the main kitchen, features four separate, barrel ceiling chambers. The principal living areas are anchored by craftsmanship and quiet detail rather than ostentation. South facing and with views extending into the secluded garden that soften the interior and reinforce the sense of privacy throughout. A dedicated study, games room and cinema room allow the house to adapt seamlessly to different rhythms of life, while the inclusion of an indoor swimming pool elevates everyday living into something more restorative. Bathed in natural light, this space offers year-round enjoyment and opens out to the landscaped garden beyond. Bosworth House’s accommodation is exceptional in both scale and execution. Seven beautifully appointed suites, each comprising a bedroom, dressing room and en suite bathroom, provide a level of comfort more often associated with the finest boutique hotels. Every suite has been designed to offer independence and retreat, making the house equally suited to multi-generational living, hosting guests, or simply enjoying space without compromise. The grounds, extending to approximately one acre, have been thoughtfully landscaped to create structure without formality. Mature planting frames open lawns, terraces and quieter corners, offering privacy and changing outlooks throughout the seasons. It is a setting that feels established and calm, yet entirely manageable. Completing the estate is a substantial triple garage, discreetly positioned and accessed via separate, secure gates, features an external staircase leading to a studio above that lends itself to a range of uses, from a home office to creative space, or ancillary accommodation. Practical considerations have been handled with the same attention as the main house, ensuring functionality never intrudes upon the overall elegance. Please note: Planning permission, (17/01457/FUL), which has since lapsed, has previously been granted for the demolition of the triple garage and erection of a pair of semi-detached dwellings (re-submission of 14/01138/FUL). The historic village of Husbands Bosworth, is a thriving village, lying at crossroads, roughly equidistant from Leicester and Northampton and also from the towns of Market Harborough and Lutterworth.

The village itself features a well-regarded primary school, mini-supermarket/post-office, doctors surgery, dental practice, public house and recreational facilities. Bosworth House is not simply large; it is considered. It offers the rare combination of architectural presence, modern comfort and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated. Represented by Charlie Sylvanus-Jones By Design Homes Market Harborough, this is a property for those who recognise quality and true luxury, instinctively.

Notably contemporary Located within the south Leicestershire village of Cosby, this house sitting on a third of an acre of ground, has been redesigned to maximise its potential. Containing over 3,000 square feet of interior space, it easily fulfils contemporary expectations for a bespoke executive property. Originally constructed during the 1940s, it has been the project of the present homeowner for ten years, with a complete renovation and extension beginning in October 2020 and a total rewiring in 2023. The resulting transformation is an outstanding detached house that along with many other features, provides three reception rooms, a spacious kitchen and breakfast diner, and a ground floor guest suite with five large double bedrooms across the first floor. Established residential area The house is located within a quiet residential area of similarly unique, characterful properties and benefits from little traffic by being atop a cul de sac. Kerb appeal is immediate. It is fronted by an open plan arrangement of paving, discreet planting and a wide drive that winds to the front and side. It is undoubtably a statement property. Characterful features include an intersecting and overlaid hip and valley roof, with dormer windows and an impressive apex window. Anthracite window frames and white rendered walls create expectations of a modern interior, as everything about the exterior-including the new roof complete with replacement fascia, soffits and guttering- establishes the impression of sharp, clean structural lines. This is enforced by the symmetry of the open weather porch, shielding a composite front door, and matched with a pair of translucent glass panels. Vehicular access is unhindered and there is ample parking. An integral single garage is immediately to the right of the property and access to the main house can be gained from here, through a downstairs washroom. The garage is equipped with overhead lighting, a store cupboard and power. The tour of the ground floor The house has been totally renovated and enlarged to prioritise light, airiness and space. From the first step across the threshold, the interior structural elements and decoration speak of an intrinsic simplicity and beauty through the choice of textures, fixtures and fittings. This is a generous property that reflects minimalism, great design and decisions made with high quality as standard. The residence is in every way, uncluttered. Unhindered lines of sight and a neutral colour palette, provide an interior décor that is the blueprint for free flow contemporary living, and the central point of convergence, is the entrance hall. The hall’s stunning apex window and vaulted ceiling is a major feature. It adds warmth, light and a volume of overhead space that encourages the visitor to look upwards to appreciate the white balustraded, carpeted staircase and gallery. This executive home has been renovated with an exacting level of detail and attention to the fixtures and fittings. The property is coordinated throughout with matching doors, skirting boards, switches and LED ambient lighting. Fitted blinds cover most windows and most can be operated with a remote control. In the hall there are deep set windows on each side of the entrance. Optimised open plan living The open plan kitchen diner is to the right and measures nearly a third of the internal downstairs area. Covered in large porcelain floor tiles, it is an extensive light-filled room with dual aspects, and incorporates many stylish features, seamlessly running from one purposed space to another. Beginning with the breakfast room, the window has a front aspect. It is presently used as an informal sitting area but however it is used, it is within sight and easy conversation of those in the kitchen. The versatility of this space is an asset. Beyond, the kitchen is amply fitted with soft closing wall and floor non-handle units, an expanse of work top across one wall and a central island with sink and three built in USB points. A large lantern sky light allows light to flood into the food preparation area and onto the integrated appliances including a microwave cooker, separate AEG oven, food warming drawer, wine coolers, a fridge freezer, an induction hob with extraction and a Quooker tap. Two large, fitted pullout waste drawers, a dishwasher, plus large under counter storage cupboards, complete the fully fitted kitchen which was recently installed in 2023. The central island, also houses room for stools, and who would not want to sit in such a wonderful room and admire the views through the bi-folding doors? They fold back to allow the raised terrace to become an extension of the room. This is ideal for entertaining and provides immediate access to the landscaped, private garden. A landscaped garden The garden is a continuation of the open plan scheme. It is a secluded, well-maintained garden and incorporates terracing, shrubbery, planted beds, hedges and trees. A sheltered summer house and green house with raised beds provide interest for keen gardeners, while a large, grassed area is perfect for children to play safely. It is by clever and practical design that these lovely outdoor areas are seamlessly linked to optimise space for maximum functionality, whether for everyday living or those special entertaining occasions. Reception rooms The pantry and utility room are to the right of the kitchen. With additional storage, work top and sink, space is available for a washing machine and vented tumble drier. The utility room has access to the garden and is next door to a room presently used as a study. It has two windows looking into the rear garden. Leaving this room and walking back into the kitchen, a boot room is discreetly located in the hall and then a hallway links the remaining ground floor reception rooms and guest suite. Both reception rooms are spacious, easily cater for different arrangements of furniture and have patio doors opening to the terrace. The sitting room is particularly bright, as it also has two large picture windows. It is carpeted and fitted with coordinating blinds and curtains. Likewise, the lounge has curtains. This room has a wood effect laminate flooring and a large fireplace, displaying a slate hearth, oak mantel and black gas fire. The reception rooms share an internal window. The guest suite and first floor bedrooms Before ascending to the first floor, the ground floor has a valuable asset that has yet to be investigated. A large, carpeted bedroom, with separate bathroom. These en-suite facilities consist of a walk-in shower, toilet, bidet, sink unit and stand-alone roll top bath. It is perfectly private as a guest suite or for a member of the family requiring ground floor accommodation. From the generous living areas on the ground floor the ascent to the first floor is dominated by the feature apex window. It allows natural light to flood the wide, airy landing. Here there are five double bedrooms, a study and family bathroom. The rooms have television and power points and three of the largest, private en-suites consisting of walk-in showers, toilets and vanity units. The prime suite has a dressing room, while others have integrated fitted wardrobes. Windows have been fitted with a combination of curtains and blinds: some remotely controlled. All the bathing facilities in this house are quite superior with high quality white sanitaryware, distinctive wall and floor tiling, lighting and heated towel rails. The family bathroom has a contemporary style free standing bath with hand shower, separate walk-in shower, vanity unit and toilet. The boiler and heating system were installed 2023. The water tank is a huge 150 litre Stelflow tank, perfect for large families. This is connected to a recently installed Worcester boiler. The boiler also feeds the under-floor heating in the kitchen. All installed in 2023.
