Planning permission has been granted for the construction of a contemporary house extending to 6,000 sq ft of internal space, set in grounds of 1.5 acres and formerly part of Oxendon Hall Estate, in a village location close to the highly regarded town of Market Harborough. A 1970's built house, to be demolished, currently occupies the site which is approached via a privately owned shared drive and although there are a small number of neighbours nearby, the position of the proposed house and extensive grounds ensure privacy and security.DESIGN The proposed glass and timber clad house is arranged over two storeys and has an open plan layout with strong visual and physical links to the surrounding landscape. A spectacular glazed double height entrance hall adjoins the vast open plan kitchen, dining and living spaces which in turn flow out to south, east and west facing paved and decked areas. A galleried stairwell leads up to the bedrooms, en-suites, dressing areas and a large studio/office space. The flexible floorplan allows a min. 4 beds + 4 en-suites and studio/office or a max. 6 beds + 5 en-suites and 1 family bathroom. All rooms measure 3 mtrs/10 ft floor to ceiling with full height glazing. In addition there are utility, laundry and w/c facilities on the ground floor, triple bay covered parking, storage area and a separate lakeside glass and timber studio. Eco friendly energy solutions such as Ground Source Heat Pump or Biomass heating systems and Solar energy can be integrated into the house design if required. LOCATION Surrounded by open countryside, Great Oxendon lies less than 3 miles to the south of the medieval market town of Market Harborough. The village benefits from a popular farm shop, church and village hall which provide a focal point for the local community. The village pub is currently undergoing restoration, due to re-open summer 2015, having been taken over by the proprietors of The Joiners Arms - a thriving gastro pub in nearby Bruntingthorpe, one of only three establishments in Leicestershire to be awarded a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide in 2012. Market Harborough is a thriving market town that provides superb shopping with independent boutiques, a theatre, bars / restaurants, and a recently opened Waitrose. There are riding and equestrian facilities found locally as well as two golf courses; Pitsford Water is close by for water sports, sailing and fishing enthusiasts.COMMUNICATIONS Communication links are excellent with the A14 approx. five miles to the south giving access to the M1 and M6 to the west, in turn providing access to Birmingham International, Coventry and East Midlands Airports. Direct mainline train services are available from Market Harborough to London St Pancras from 55 minutes whilst additional improvements are scheduled to the track, station and electrification of the line, to shorten journey times further.
