Set back down a long drive within Garendon Park Estate, The Hermitage occupies about 0.25 acres of mature, secluded grounds. The stone and brick Victorian house offers a rare small‑holding opportunity close to new countryside parkland, with lawns, trees, pond and a series of outbuildings including a powered workshop and former pig sty.
Internally the property provides practical, characterful spaces: boot/utility, boiler/cloakroom, an open plan lounge and dining room with inglenook, a conservatory, breakfast kitchen, bathroom and two first‑floor double bedrooms. Period features and generous room proportions give good scope for sympathetic updating and reconfiguration to suit modern living.
There are important practical considerations: the EPC is F, heating is oil‑fired via a boiler and radiators, and the stone walls are likely uninsulated. The pond is currently drained and the house will benefit from energy upgrades, insulating work and general modernisation in places.
Chain free and standing in an affluent, very low‑crime area, the property will appeal to buyers seeking privacy, outdoor space and renovation potential — cottage‑style living with land for gardens, hobby livestock or small‑scale horticulture. Its location offers countryside tranquillity while still providing access to Loughborough amenities and well‑rated local schools.
