A Rare Opportunity to Create Your Ideal Family Home in a Beautiful Village SettingSet on the edge of the National Forest within a small, exclusive development, this beautifully renovated former farmhouse, with the opportunity of a paddock, offers the perfect blend of traditional character and modern potential—ideal for large or multi-generational families seeking both space and style.With over 2,800 sq. ft. of accommodation spread across three floors, this is a home designed for family life. From the moment you step through the front door, the character of the original farmhouse is immediately evident—deep window ledges, exposed beams, chimney breasts and thick stone walls offer a sense of charm and heritage rarely found in modern homes.The ground floor provides a versatile layout, including a formal lounge, a family room, and a separate study—perfect for working from home or offering a quiet retreat. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen and orangery space, designed for entertaining and everyday living.

A £20,000 kitchen allowance is included, so you can choose a layout, finish and appliances that truly suit your taste and lifestyle.From here, the outlook stretches across landscaped gardens and open green space, with views towards the National Forest.

A generous family bathroom serves the additional two bedrooms. The second floor offers two more bedrooms—one with an en-suite—making it perfect for teenagers, extended family, or guest accommodation.Outside, the home benefits from a driveway with parking for four vehicles, a double garage, and gardens to the front and side. Located within a select development, the setting is secure and peaceful. Additional land may be available by separate negotiation—an opportunity to create even more space for family enjoyment.The location offers the best of both worlds: village living with excellent access to Leicester city centre, the M1 and A50, and nearby rail links offering direct trains to London.
