This unique period farmhouse presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment within Thurnby’s conservation area. Set on approximately 4.13 acres, the property not only boasts substantial outdoor space but also has planning permission in place for a detached bungalow along with an annexe or garage. Firs Farm, dating back to the 18th century, retains much of its character while offering a flexible living space ideal for families and those looking to create a more modern touch. The home features around 1,840 sq ft of well-arranged accommodations over two levels, including four bedrooms, a versatile office, and several reception areas that capture the charm of its era.
A standout feature is the hand-painted Devol kitchen equipped with integrated appliances and traditional quarry tiled flooring, which complements the tasteful improvements made throughout the home. The extension adds a contemporary family room with vaulted ceilings and exposed brickwork that harmonizes beautifully with the original structure.
The expansive grounds include established gardens and gravelled parking leading towards the additional plot approved for development. With services already considered for the bungalow site and footings installed for the garage/annexe, future buyers can benefit from reduced groundwork efforts.
Beyond development potential, approximately 3.75 acres of paddock land offer further lifestyle options or equestrian use, making this property ideal for those seeking rural tranquility with community appeal. As Thurnby continues to be one of East Leicestershire’s favored villages due to its amenities and transport links to Leicester and beyond, this property is an intriguing prospect that combines heritage with considerable investment potential.
