Summary - The Hermitage, Garendon Park LE11 4SH
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Secluded plot with period character and small-holding potential near Loughborough.
Chain free detached stone cottage on ~0.79 acre plot
Set within Garendon Park on about 0.79 acres, The Hermitage is a charming detached stone cottage offered chain free. The property sits back from the lane behind mature trees and lawns, with a long private drive and extensive grounds that include a drained pond, outbuildings and former pig sty — ideal for anyone seeking a small-holding or substantial garden and workspace.
Internally the cottage offers practical living space: boot/utility room, cloakroom/boiler room, open-plan lounge/diner with an inglenook fireplace, conservatory, kitchen, bathroom and two double first-floor bedrooms. Character features such as exposed beams, stonework and a Rayburn range give the house period appeal, while the layout is straightforward and liveable as-is for many buyers.
Important practical points: heating is oil-fired to radiators and the EPC is rated F, so energy efficiency and fuel costs are significant considerations. The property is an older, solid-built home (pre-1900 sandstone/limestone walls) and the gardens and outbuildings need upkeep and some restoration — the pond is currently drained and the roof and external masonry will benefit from maintenance.
For buyers looking for seclusion, outdoor space and character, this cottage offers rare plot size close to Loughborough. For those focused on running costs or wanting a turnkey, low-maintenance home, the energy performance and repair work mean further investment will be required. The house suits purchasers wanting a restoration project, small-holding opportunity or a private rural base within easy reach of town amenities.
