Summary - FOREST HOUSE LEICESTER LANE DESFORD LEICESTER LE9 9JJ
6 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious private grounds with versatile annexes for family or rental use.
Six bedrooms and four bathroom/shower rooms
Forest House is a striking mid-19th-century farmhouse refurbished for contemporary family living. Set behind electric gates on a tree-lined drive, the property occupies just over an acre of mature, private grounds on the edge of Desford village and sits among other substantial homes. A newly fitted open-plan living kitchen lies at the heart of the house, complemented by three further reception rooms, a large utility/boot room and useful cellar storage.
Accommodation extends across three storeys with five/six bedrooms and four bathroom/shower rooms, plus two self-contained annexes ideal for multi-generational living, long-term guests or rental income. Outbuildings include a double garage, workshop and additional stores, with a generous turning area and gated approach enhancing privacy and convenience.
Practical considerations: the house is heated by an oil-fired boiler with radiators, broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and the original solid brick walls are likely to have little built-in insulation (constructed before 1900). The property is not listed, which offers flexibility for further alterations or extensions. Overall, this sizeable, newly renovated farmhouse will suit buyers seeking rural space, character and versatile accommodation rather than those prioritising high-speed connectivity or low-carbon heating.
Local amenities and schools are close by, with several well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach. The setting supports equestrian and country pursuits and delivers the seclusion of countryside living with convenient access to village services.
