Description

Nestled in a picturesque Charnwood conservation village, this substantial three-storey detached former farmhouse presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and investment. Set on a generous plot of approximately 0.27 acres, the property boasts significant character, with its rendered exterior and distinctive Swithland slate roof. The interior provides a spacious layout that includes an entrance hall leading to a dining room, a cloakroom, and a sitting room measuring over 20 feet long. The breakfast kitchen is functional and equipped with essential amenities, offering the chance to modernize or redesign according to personal preferences. The first floor features three well-proportioned bedrooms along with a family bathroom. An expansive attic room on the second floor adds further versatility and potential for conversion into additional living space or bedrooms. Outdoor space is one of the defining features of this property. The rear garden offers an extensive area that backs onto open farmland, presenting ample opportunities for expansion or enhancement of the existing structure, pending necessary permissions. Current driveway access allows for parking, while there is potential to modify this space further by relocating the garage or increasing hardstanding options. The location enhances this property's appeal; it sits on the outskirts of a highly desirable village known for its immediate access to unspoiled countryside and walking trails, including Swithland Woods and Bradgate Country Park. Local amenities such as primary schools, public houses, and community facilities are within easy reach, while more comprehensive services can be found in nearby Rothley and Woodhouse Eaves. With its blend of substantial living space, generous grounds, and a sought-after rural location, this property stands as an excellent canvas for those looking to invest in renovations or create their dream home tailored to individual tastes.
