This notable Grade II listed farmhouse, set on a picturesque hilltop with expansive views over East Leicestershire, presents a significant opportunity for modernisation and investment. Halstead House is a Georgian property that extends over three storeys and encompasses approximately 4,400 square feet of living space, complemented by 20 acres of land including gardens and farmyard outbuildings. While the home retains many original features such as high ceilings and large sash windows, it requires considerable updating to meet contemporary standards.
The inviting reception hall leads into formal sitting and dining areas, alongside a characterful breakfast room that boasts an inglenook fireplace and wood burner. The adjoining 22-foot drawing room connects seamlessly with a clay-tiled kitchen outfitted with an Aga. The upper floors house several spacious double bedrooms, including a principal suite with en-suite facilities.
In addition to the main house, the property features a traditional cobbled farmyard surrounded by various brick and stone outbuildings that could be repurposed for multiple uses – ideal for those interested in creating additional accommodation or studio spaces (subject to appropriate consents). Previous usage included agricultural enterprises which could potentially be revived or transformed.
With planning consent previously granted (now lapsed) for converting farm buildings into six dwellings, this property not only offers attractive living spaces but also substantial renovation potential to create further income-generating opportunities.
