Description

This property presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation and investment, set in the appealing village of Donisthorpe, nestled within the National Forest. The site features established landscaping with mature trees, enhancing its natural charm while offering a rare chance to build a four-bedroom detached home complete with a double garage. The proposed design includes an entrance hall leading to a spacious sitting room, which could be enhanced by bi-fold doors that open to the gardens. Additional spaces such as a study and snug area are included on the ground floor, alongside a generous living-dining kitchen and utility room. The first floor is designed to host a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, complemented by three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom. Situated within easy reach of local amenities like shops, schools, and recreational areas, this location benefits from excellent commuting links. Donisthorpe itself boasts essential facilities including a public house and primary school while being just a short drive from larger towns like Ashby de la Zouch and Swadlincote for more comprehensive services. Adjacent to the site are scenic attractions such as Conkers Discovery Centre and Hicks Lodge, inviting opportunities for outdoor activities like walking and cycling. This area's transformation from its industrial past into green spaces emphasizes its appeal for families seeking both tranquility and community engagement. With full planning permission already granted—documentation available via North West Leicestershire District Council under application reference 25/00859/CLP—this plot is primed for development before the projected commencement date in June 2025. A dedicated access road adds convenience to potential construction efforts while allowing for private enjoyment of the surrounding gardens. Investors or homeowners looking to create their ideal residence will find this project particularly attractive due to its blend of rural charm with proximity to modern conveniences.
