The Manor House at Gumley is a substantial period farmhouse set in about 2.25 acres of formal gardens, woodland and farmland. The main house offers generous, characterful accommodation across three floors — four double bedrooms on the first floor, attic rooms with further potential and multiple reception rooms on the ground floor. Large mature grounds and extensive outbuildings give privacy and clear scope for ancillary uses or equestrian/storage needs.
A key value driver is the granted planning permission (ref 25/00688/PDN) to convert the agricultural outbuildings into three residential dwellings, creating a development uplift or multi-household estate. The barns, workshop, grain store and stables form a versatile courtyard suited to conversion subject to the approved consent and any necessary building regulations or further consents.
Buyers should note several material points: the property has an EPC rating of G and main heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators; the walls are original solid brick (assumed uninsulated) and double glazing dates from before 2002. There is only one family bathroom indicated. Council Tax is Band F and the house will require updating and energy-efficient improvements to meet modern living standards. Services, measurements and condition have not been tested and should be independently verified.
This home will suit buyers seeking a large family residence with countryside living and development potential, or investors looking to realise the permitted conversions. Its village-edge location provides rural tranquillity with Market Harborough and Leicester within easy driving distance and rail links to London from Market Harborough.
