Summary - Chater Barn, Brook Farm, Launde LE7 9XN
5 bed 1 bath Country House
Substantial five-bedroom farmhouse on several acres with outbuildings and conversion potential.
Five double bedrooms including vaulted principal suite
An imposing five-bedroom country house set in a substantial plot of over five acres, Brook Farm offers generously proportioned living rooms, a large dining kitchen with AGA, and a principal vaulted bedroom with ensuite WC. The house sits privately within rolling countryside, with south-facing formal gardens, a terrace overlooking a pond and far-reaching views across pasture and woodland — ideal for families who want space, outdoor life and country pursuits.
The property includes extensive stone and brick outbuildings and a large open-fronted cart shed. Several buildings already have planning permission to convert into a two-bed, two-bath annex with a double-height drawing room, giving practical scope for generation-flexible living or ancillary rental income. Ample off-road parking is provided by a private driveway behind a five-bar gate, and the grounds include paddock, orchard and spinney — suitable for smallholding or equestrian use by negotiation.
Buyers should note some material practicalities: the house is served by oil-fired central heating and has relatively slow broadband speeds; there is only one main bathroom for five bedrooms; and council tax sits at a high band. The extensive outbuildings will require investment to convert beyond the areas already permitted, and some maintenance will be required across the estate to retain the gardens, pond and paddocks.
Located in a quiet hamlet on the Leicestershire/Rutland border, the house is positioned for country living with good access to well-regarded schools and market towns. For families seeking long-term space, character and potential to create additional accommodation, this secluded farmhouse offers a rare package — but buyers should factor in conversion costs, ongoing estate upkeep and slower digital connectivity.
