Six Acres is a fully refurbished former farmhouse set in just under six acres within The Ridgeway Conservation Area, combining period character with modern finishes. The house offers a generous, open-plan feel with high vaulted ceilings, five double bedrooms and three bathrooms, centred around a large family kitchen and four reception rooms ideal for entertaining. Outside there is a heated outdoor pool, tennis court, extensive lawns and a detached purpose-built home office/annexe.
Practical strengths include a four-car garage with four-post lift, extensive outbuildings, electric gated in/out driveway and mains gas central heating. The property was remodelled in recent years and has double glazing and internal insulation to solid brick walls. It is offered freehold and chain-free, and sits about a mile’s walk from Rothley village amenities and leisure attractions.
Notable considerations: the grounds are extensive and will require ongoing maintenance; the outdoor pool and tennis court add upkeep costs. The site previously comprised three dwellings and there may be scope to reinstate two further homes subject to planning permission and local authority approval — this is a potential value driver but not guaranteed. Neighbouring schools include two rated Good; one nearby primary is currently rated Requires Improvement.
This property suits a family seeking space and privacy, someone wanting in‑home workspace/annexe options, or a buyer interested in potential subdivision subject to planning. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, setting and scope for future adaptation.
