An exceptional opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind family home in Ulverscroft, set within a private two-acre plot in the heart of Charnwood Forest. Full planning consent is already granted to demolish the existing dwelling and build a substantial detached home of approximately 8,307 sqft, giving buyers immediate scope to start a major build project without initial planning delays.
The proposed design delivers grand, family-focused living: a full-height galleried reception hall, open-plan kitchen/dining, multiple reception rooms, games room, offices and generous bedroom accommodation. The plot includes landscaped garden space and an attached garage, with the option to purchase additional land for further seclusion or extension (subject to separate purchase and permissions).
Buyers should note practical constraints: the site sits as a hamlet/isolated dwelling with no mobile signal and very slow broadband, which will affect remote working and connectivity. The sale requires demolition of the existing house and a large-scale build, with the usual substantial construction costs and timescales. Access to detailed plans is available for review to confirm exact scope and costs.
This lot will suit a family or buyer seeking privacy, space and the ability to commission a tailored luxury home in a very affluent, sought-after countryside location. Nearby high-performing independent and state schools and the peaceful Charnwood surroundings are strong lifestyle draws, offset by the rural connectivity limitations.
