Set on a prominent corner plot in picturesque Burton Hastings, this spacious four-bedroom detached house sits on circa 2 acres including agricultural land that extends down to the canal. The property is chain-free and offers substantial internal space (circa 3,160 sq ft) across multiple reception rooms, a double garage and gated vehicular access from Hinckley Road. The grounds include formal garden, orchard and further open land previously used as a nine‑hole pitch-and-putt.
The house requires renovation and modernisation throughout, providing a blank‑canvas opportunity for a buyer wanting to create a bespoke family home or explore development potential (subject to planning). Important legal points: the land is registered on two separate titles and will be sold jointly, and an overage clause applies to the agricultural land — independent legal advice is recommended before proceeding.
Practical positives include sizable parking for 4+ cars, rear vehicular access, double glazing and mains gas central heating. The village location offers countryside views, canal access and local amenities including a good primary school; note the property sits in a very affluent area but has above‑average local crime and very expensive council tax.
This property will suit buyers seeking substantial outdoor space and scope to add value — families wanting large living areas and grounds, or investors/developers with planning ambitions. Viewings are essential to appreciate the scale and potential; buyers should factor renovation costs and legal checks on the overage and titles into their plans.
