School Lane II

Occupying a tranquil location in the bucolic village of Peatling Magna, Leicestershire, this four-bedroom house is an ingenious renaissance of a 1970s design by local industrial architect Douglas H. Smith. Comprehensively reconfigured and extended, the light-filled, sociable living spaces span approximately 4,000 sq ft over three levels. There is a wraparound garden, dining terraces and open landscape beyond. Leicester and Market Harborough are less than 15 miles away, with rail connections to London St Pancras from Market Harborough in around 55 minutes.
