Description

Nestled along the historic Chapel Lane, The White House is a spacious five-bedroom detached residence that offers a blend of period charm and modern potential. Set within expansive grounds that back onto open fields, this property features a unique detached cottage and extensive outbuildings, providing significant opportunities for further development. The secure gated entrance leads to a generous driveway with ample off-road parking, complemented by a substantial triple garage that presents possibilities for conversion or extension, pending necessary planning consents. Upon entering the main residence, you are greeted by a welcoming reception hall adorned with traditional wood panelling and a decorative staircase. The ground floor boasts three sizable reception rooms, each showcasing exposed ceiling timbers and feature fireplaces that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen is equipped with ample cabinetry and a dining area that overlooks the picturesque grounds. Additionally, a bright conservatory opens directly onto the rear courtyard, enhancing the living space. The first floor accommodates three well-proportioned bedrooms characterized by exposed framework and stained glass detailing, served by contemporary bathroom facilities including walk-in showers and a freestanding bath. The staircase continues to the second-floor loft conversion, which houses two further charming bedrooms beneath vaulted ceilings, ideal for use as guest suites or creative spaces. Externally, the large garden is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by mature hedging and trees, offering uninterrupted rural views. The outdoor space is enhanced by a paved terrace, a pergola with integrated lighting, a greenhouse, and an additional brick outbuilding for storage. Located in the desirable village of Sharnford, this property is conveniently situated near local amenities and provides excellent transport links for commuters to Leicester, Coventry, Birmingham, and beyond. This residence not only offers comfortable living but also presents a rare opportunity for investment and expansion.

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

The White House presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a spacious five-bedroom detached residence at a guide price of £700,000, which is notably below the local average at just £254/sqf compared to £279/sqf. This property stands out with its characterful features and generous living spaces, complemented by a large garden that offers picturesque rural views. While the interiors are dated and require significant refurbishment throughout, there is ample scope to enhance the property’s appeal, particularly with the potential to convert the detached cottage and triple garage into functional living spaces or work-from-home solutions.

However, the renovation economics appear tight with all-in costs estimated at £875,000 against local benchmarks that suggest a lower implied current value. This indicates that while the initial purchase price is attractive, the renovation budget must be managed carefully to avoid overspending. Overall, the property is a solid project for buyers looking to invest in a home with considerable potential in a desirable location.
