Set within two acres of private grounds in Ulverscroft, this rare development plot comes with full planning consent to replace the existing dwelling with an 8,307 sqft detached family home. The approved design delivers a dramatic galleried reception hall, large open-plan living and dining kitchen, multiple reception rooms including a games room and offices, and attached garage — a one-of-a-kind opportunity in Charnwood Forest.
The site offers immediate privacy and expansive landscaped grounds with potential to extend the consent further subject to permission. Local amenities and several highly rated schools lie within easy reach, while the very affluent setting and gated entrance position the finished house as a high-end family residence or a long-term investment.
Important practical points: the plot is sold freehold and has no flooding risk, but it is an active build project requiring demolition of the existing cottage and comprehensive new construction. The location has no mobile signal and very slow broadband, so buyers should plan for connectivity upgrades. Construction will require full project management, budget allowance and any further planning for extensions.
This is a best-fit opportunity for a family or developer seeking a rare, substantial country home project in a prestigious Leicestershire setting. The consented scheme reduces planning uncertainty, but the purchase suits those prepared to manage a large-scale build and modernisation programme.
