Private two-bedroom lodge on a very large plot with redevelopment potential..
Secluded two-bedroom detached lodge in Charnwood Forest
Tucked deep in Charnwood Forest, this detached two-bedroom lodge on a very large, private plot offers rare woodland seclusion a short drive from Bradgate Park and Charnwood villages. The open-plan ground floor is bright, with two sets of patio doors and skylights bringing natural light into the kitchen/living/dining area. Practical features include off-street parking with a carport and LPG heating alongside dual-fuel (mineral and wood) room heaters.
The house dates from 1928 and is classed as non-standard construction; two other properties at this address have had planning permission approved, indicating potential for redevelopment subject to consent. The site’s size and privacy make it appealing to buyers seeking a bespoke renovation, a large garden setting, or a self-build replacement (where permitted).
Buyers should note practical limitations: the property uses a private cesspit for drainage, broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, and heating is LPG/dual-fuel rather than mains gas. The non-standard construction may restrict mortgage options; specialist lenders are typically required. A full survey is advised to confirm condition and services before exchange.
Overall, this is a characterful rural opportunity for a downsizer, nature seeker or buyer planning sympathetic refurbishment or redevelopment, offering privacy and scope in an affluent, low-crime hamlet setting.
