The Firs is a charming, detached property constructed from brick under a tile roof with beautiful period features.

The property is in an elevated position with far-reaching, open countryside views and benefits from two private driveways with gated entrances, a double garage and ample parking for a number of cars.

A gravel pathway leads to a grand front door, which opens to a glazed and timber porch with tiled flooring.

This leads to an impressive entrance hall, which provides access to the elegant dining room with original timber flooring and spacious sitting room; both rooms benefit from working fireplaces, high ceilings, and large windows with refurbished original shutters.

The dining room flows into a charming kitchen/breakfast room with a pantry, electric aga, exposed beams, tiled flooring, and Fisher and Paykel integrated dishwasher.

Double doors in the sitting room open to a light and airy garden room, complete with electric underfloor heating and external French doors leading to the private front garden and patio area.

The ground floor further extends to a superb utility room with terracotta tile flooring, central wooden island and fitted units, a WC, and a rear, part-glazed porch with fitted cupboards and external double doors leading to the rear garden and gravelled drive.

Stairs in the entrance hall rise to a roomy landing, providing access to a beautiful principal bedroom with an original fireplace and a large en suite bathroom with walk-in shower, his and her sinks and freestanding bath.

The en suite bathroom also has a door leading to the landing, so lends itself well to a family bathroom, too.

The first floor also provides access to a generous double bedroom with an ensuite shower room and a further double bedroom.

Stairs on the landing rise to a second floor, comprising an enormous loft room spanning the width of the property, which is currently used as a playroom as there is limited ceiling height; however, has potential for alternative uses.

The cellar is separated into two vaulted chambers, one of which is a wine cellar, and the other is a handmade oak bar.

Externally, the annexe provides excellent secondary accommodation and is currently used as a home office but also benefits from a separate entrance and driveway, it could easily provide accommodation for dependant relatives and equally is a spacious fourth bedroom with ensuite and kitchen area.

The walled garden is a particular feature of the property, offering complete privacy and seclusion.

The garden is principally lawned and beautifully landscaped, with a scattering of mature trees to the front and rear, including Apple, Yew and Silver Birch, and well-stocked herbaceous borders to the perimeter.

The rear garden is south easterly facing and is complete with shaped hedging, which borders a stone paved path to the centre of the lawn, a large stone-paved patio, vegetable garden and greenhouse.

The Firs is situated within the rural village of Norton Juxta Twycross, lying on the Warwickshire/Leicestershire border between Market Bosworth and Ashby de la Zouch.

Norton Juxta Twycross is in the civil parish Twycross, and the village of Twycross lies 2 miles southeast of Norton Juxta Twycross and offers a cricket club, church, pub, and Twycross Zoo, which is one of the UK's leading zoos.

There is an excellent range of state schools in the area to suit most requirements, including Congerstone Primary School, John Moore Primary School, and The Market Bosworth School, a secondary school with an Outstanding Ofsted rating.

Private schools include the popular Twycross House School and The Dixie Grammar School.

The Firs is well positioned for the commuter, as rail networks from Tamworth have both West Coast mainline providing service from the northwest to London Euston and also Cross Country services, which provides direct services from Edinburgh to Penzance, in addition to local services to Nottingham and Birmingham.

Norton Juxta Twycross is surrounded by a variety of outdoor, cultural, and historical attractions, such as the National Forest, which offers numerous outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, and nature trails, Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre and Country Park, located a few miles from Norton Juxta Twycross, which commemorates the Battle of Bosworth, the final battle of the Wars of the Roses, Drayton Manor Theme Park located in Tamworth, and though slightly further away, Leicester offers a wide range of cultural and shopping venues to enjoy and explore.
