From the first floor, you will also find access to the rear garden, where you can spend sunny afternoons, lounging on outdoor furniture. The property also benefits from one off-road parking space, as well as garage storage, should you wish to bring bikes or other outdoor equipment along for an action-packed break. Better acquaint yourself with your surroundings, as you meander the endearing streets of Billesdon, home to two pubs, a village shop, as well as the mobile fish and chip van that visits twice a week. From here, head to the city of Leicester, renowned for over 2,000 years of history, diverse culture and cuisine and excellent shopping and sports facilities. After an afternoon of retail therapy in the Highcross shopping complex, take some time to visit the King Richard III Visitor Centre, Leicester Abbey and the National Space Centre, attractions that suit a family of all ages and tastes. Rutland Water is also nearby, where you and your loved ones can look forward to a plethora of activities including angling, bike hire, watersports, mini golf and walking amidst 4,200 acres of open countryside. The Rutland county town of Oakham is well worth a visit and Uppingham exudes plenty of old-world charm too, whilst Market Harborough is close by and the spectacular Foxton Locks and a short drive north takes you to Melton Mowbray known as the ‘Rural Food Capital’. The delightful Georgian town of Stamford is within easy reach and is a major attraction together with Burghley House.
