Summary - 1 Main Street, Knossington LE15 8LT
3 bed 1 bath Character Property
Renovation-ready period house with large plot and family potential.
Period stone-built farmhouse in a prominent village corner position
Stoneleigh is a substantial period farmhouse in the heart of Knossington, offered as a full renovation project with strong potential for a modern family home. The house occupies a prominent corner position on Main Street with attractive stone elevations, mature hedging and generous overall floor area (approximately 1,616 sq ft). Internal proportions are good, with two large ground-floor reception rooms and three double bedrooms upstairs — a useful starting point for reconfiguration or extension (subject to planning).
The plot is very large for the village and provides scope for off‑street parking, garden expansion or additional amenities (subject to planning permission). Its village-centre location places local pubs, schools and countryside walks within easy reach, while Oakham and Melton Mowbray are close by for wider services. Broadband speeds are fast and the area is affluent with low crime, making the location attractive for families.
Important negatives are clear: the property requires full renovation throughout, including likely insulation, modern heating and electrical work; current heating is room heaters using dual fuel and the walls are stone without assumed insulation. The EPC is G and double glazing installation date is unknown. The building is end-terrace and constructed before 1900, so buyers should allow for traditional-material repairs, specialist trades and potential planning constraints. Council Tax is above average.
This is a hands-on opportunity for a family or buyer with renovation experience to create a character home in a sought-after Leicestershire village. Purchase is suitable for those prepared to manage a comprehensive refurbishment or to engage professionals to unlock the site and internal potential.
