Large five-bed detached with Dale Penney kitchen and garden onto fields..
No upward chain on prestigious tree-lined Swithland Lane
Set on one of Charnwood’s most prestigious tree-lined roads, this substantial five-double-bedroom detached home offers 3,700 sq ft of flexible family living with no upward chain. The Dale Penney open-plan kitchen is a standout: quartz-topped island, twin ovens, induction hob, underfloor heating, plentiful natural light and bi-fold doors that open directly to a landscaped garden and fields beyond. Three reception rooms, a study and utility enhance everyday practicality, while the principal suite includes a walk-through dressing room and luxury en-suite.
Outside, an in-and-out gravel driveway, gated side access and an oversized double garage with electric roller door deliver generous parking and storage. The rear plot is private and lawned, with a large entertaining patio and direct outlook onto adjoining fields — ideal for children and pets. There is planning consent for a two-storey and part single-storey side extension (Charnwood P/23/1550/2) should you wish to extend further.
Notable practical points: the house was built in the 1930s/40s with solid brick walls (no internal wall insulation assumed) and has a current EPC rating of C. Broadband speeds are reported as slow in this area, council tax is in a high band (G), and the property sits in a conservation area which will influence permitted changes. Mobile signal quality varies by provider.
This is a large, well-appointed family home in a highly desirable village setting — close to cafés, countryside walks, reservoir and local schools — that will suit buyers seeking scale, versatile rooms and immediate move-in potential, while also offering scope for sympathetic upgrades and extension under existing planning consent.
