Set at the end of a private driveway with direct River Soar frontage, this substantial five-bedroom detached home sits on a very large, secluded plot. The house offers extensive family living across two floors, including a grand galleried landing, three ground-floor reception rooms and a breakfast kitchen with French doors onto a patio. A detached double garage and generous driveway provide plentiful parking.
Bedrooms are well appointed: a principal ground-floor suite with en-suite and fitted wardrobes, two further ground-floor bedrooms and two large first-floor doubles each with their own en-suite. One first-floor bedroom includes a private sauna, while additional boarded storage and flexible rooms offer scope for a home office, playroom or dressing room. The property totals about 2,859 sq ft and has around 17 rooms overall, giving space for growing family needs.
Externally the plot is a standout feature — mature trees and landscaped gardens back directly onto the River Soar offering unbroken waterside views, privacy and outdoor space for family activities. Its position in Barrow Upon Soar places it close to reputable schools, local amenities, and good transport links to Loughborough and the M1.
Important considerations: the property sits within a high flood-risk area and would require appropriate insurance and flood-mitigation measures. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal. The large plot and mature grounds will need ongoing maintenance; parts of the house may benefit from updating to suit modern preferences. These factors are reflected in the guide price range.
