Nestled on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Gumley, this property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. With four spacious bedrooms and a wealth of character, the farmhouse spans three levels, offering generous living spaces that can be transformed to reflect modern tastes while preserving original features.
The ground floor includes multiple reception rooms— a sitting room, drawing room, and formal dining area— each with views over the surrounding gardens and village landscape. The traditional kitchen also boasts significant potential for updates. On the first floor, you’ll find four large double bedrooms along with a family bathroom. The additional attic rooms provide further possibilities for expansion, ideal for creating extra living space or a dedicated home office.
The external area is equally promising, featuring various outbuildings such as a workshop, grain store, stables, and a garage. This not only enhances the potential for ancillary development but also ensures privacy and space within the village setting.
Gumley itself is well-served by local amenities, including a church, village hall, and public house/restaurant. The nearby market town of Market Harborough offers essential services like banks and supermarkets, with access to mainline train services connecting to London St Pancras in under an hour. Additionally, the famous Foxton Locks on the Grand Union Canal are close by, providing recreational opportunities and scenic walks.
The location benefits from excellent connectivity to surrounding towns including Leicester—just 12 miles away—and major road networks such as the M1 motorway. For families considering educational options, there are numerous reputable schools in the region at both primary and secondary levels.
Importantly, planning permission has been granted for converting agricultural outbuildings into three residential dwellings (ref no. 25/00688/PDN), presenting an attractive avenue for developers or investors looking to enhance their portfolio in this desirable area.
This property is more than just a home; it’s a canvas for creativity and investment in one of Leicestershire's charming villages.
