Fox Lodge is a striking, award-nominated eco-home, thoughtfully designed by Danish specialists Roust Tr to deliver exceptional energy efficiency, low running costs and a reduced carbon footprint. Set within a quiet backwater of Foxton, it combines sustainable modern living with excellent access to Market Harborough and fast rail links to London. Offered with no upward chain.
Accommodation
The property opens into a bright, vaulted entrance space with full-height glazing, setting the tone for the home's light-filled, energy-conscious design. The ground floor is arranged around a superb open-plan living kitchen, designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with large sliding doors and full-height windows maximising natural light and passive solar gain. A contemporary fitted kitchen with solid wood worktops and island sits at the heart of the space, complemented by underfloor heating powered by an efficient air source heat pump. A separate snug provides a more private living area, alongside a utility room, storage and a ground floor shower room.
Upstairs, the vaulted ceilings continue, enhancing the sense of space and efficiency of the insulated structure. The principal bedroom enjoys built-in storage and a well-appointed ensuite, while two further double bedrooms are served by a modern shower room. One bedroom opens onto a generous balcony with far-reaching village and countryside views. The first floor also houses key elements of the home's energy system, including the solar PV inverter and thermal store, supporting the property's low-energy performance.
Outside
Externally, the property continues its practical and sustainable design with a south-facing wraparound garden, ideal for maximising sunlight. A private courtyard leads to a substantial home office, perfect for remote working, alongside a garage, covered storage and generous parking. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with patio areas for outdoor entertaining, all enclosed and designed for low maintenance and year-round enjoyment.
