Set in an idyllic Leicestershire village, this Grade II listed farmhouse combines genuine period character with recent sympathetic renovation. Exposed timbers, brickwork and an inglenook fireplace sit alongside a bespoke kitchen with an Aga and practical utility room — offering a comfortable, characterful family home for daily life and entertaining.
The house sits on about 0.6 acres of gardens and productive outdoor space: formal lawns, flagstone terraces, an orchard, raised vegetable beds, greenhouse, and a secure chicken enclosure. A gated gravel driveway leads to an oak-framed triple garage with an insulated games room above — useful for hobbies, a home office or additional leisure space.
Practical points are clear and factual. The property is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and require consents. There is a medium flood risk in the area, an oil tank on site and the home falls into Council Tax Band E; buyers should factor these into running costs and any long-term plans.
Overall this is a well-presented rural family farmhouse with generous outdoor space and useful outbuildings. It will suit buyers who value original features, outdoor living and are comfortable working within listed-building constraints.
