General overview
We have a four bed, two bathroom detached home situated on a quiet road in Market Harborough. There are some great country parks and day trips in the local area for you to explore. The town itself is a very friendly historic market town with a bustling high street and lovely local parks. We love travelling and exploring new places and we would love for you to learn more about our home too.
This is our main residence so we may have limited flexibility on dates.
The space
We have a comfortable four bedroom house. Downstairs there is a living room with plenty of toys for kids to play with and a tv. We have an open plan kitchen-diner full of natural light. A small utility room with washer and dryer and WC.
Upstairs there is a large master ensuite bedroom with super king bed. Two of the other bedrooms are children's bedrooms one with a low double bed and the other with bunk bed. The fourth bedroom is set up as an office, which our home exchange guests are welcome to use or we could arrange for an air bed or potentially a further mattress in there. The house is warm and comfortable.
We have a south facing garden, in the summer we put out a small wooden climbing frame and a paddling pool. We have a barbecue that guests are welcome to use.
In the garage there is a selection of bikes that guests are welcome to use.
Space for two cars on the drive way.
Notes
We have a baby so our house is suitable for infants BUT we do not have every single safety feature you could think of i.e. we just have a stairgate at the top of the stairs but not the bottom. If you need more info about this then please just ask.
We have no pets in the house. We do like animals and happy to look after cats, dogs, etc when we exchange.

Neighbourhood
Market Harborough is a historic market town, it is very easy to get about on foot. There are two pubs within less than ten minutes walk and three supermarkets within ten minutes walk.
We have a lovely little play park at the bottom of the road. There is a great park for kids in the centre of Market Harborough. The town has lots of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. There is a swimming pool and leisure centre.
There is also a cycle/walking path that runs for 16 miles, including some tunnels (not for the faint hearted!).
There are some nice country parks within striking distance (all less than 30 minute drive). For longer day trips there is Rutland Water, where you can cycle, walk and do a variety of water sports including kayaking and windsurfing.
