Four double bedrooms; three bedrooms include in-room basins
Equestrian facilities: stables and paddock suitable for riding
Heated outdoor swimming pool and multiple entertaining/outbuilding spaces
Annexe potential with private courtyard and separate access

Set well back from Gaulby Lane within approximately three acres, this four-double-bedroom detached home offers a rare blend of country privacy and equestrian capability. The principal reception room frames expansive countryside views, while a heated outdoor pool, stables and multiple outbuildings (including a gym) make the plot highly versatile for family life or hobby farming.
The house offers clear annexe potential with its private courtyard access and a ground-floor wing that could suit multi‑generational living or a bespoke conversion. Internally the layout is traditional and generous — very large overall footprint with fourteen principal rooms — but the property will suit buyers prepared for ongoing estate maintenance and selective updating to meet contemporary standards.
Practical considerations are straightforward: broadband speeds are very slow in this location and the gardens, paddocks, pool and outbuildings will require regular upkeep and running costs. The home is offered chain free and is on freehold tenure, located in a peaceful hamlet with excellent mobile signal and convenient A47 links.
For families, equestrian enthusiasts or buyers seeking a private country estate close to Leicester, this property presents immediate lifestyle benefits and scope to personalise. Viewing is recommended for anyone wanting a substantial, private rural holding with genuine character and equestrian facilities.
