Set within the Staunton Harold Estate and backing onto open fields, this period red‑brick farmhouse blends character details with practical family living. The house offers three bedrooms, a large breakfast kitchen, separate lounge and dining rooms, plus a study/playroom — well suited to families seeking space and countryside lifestyle. The wrap‑around walled garden is generous and low‑maintenance, with mature planting and strong privacy for outdoor living.
Practical benefits include five off‑street parking spaces tucked away from the estate visitor car park, double glazing installed after 2002, internal wall insulation, and fast broadband — useful for remote working and modern family life. The property is freehold, in a conservation area within the National Forest, and sits close to local amenities, cafés, trails and good road links (M1/M42/A50/A38) and East Midlands Airport.
Buyers should note the property has an EPC rating of E and uses oil-fired heating (purchasers should confirm suitability). Drainage is to a septic tank; purchasers should satisfy themselves about maintenance and any future costs. While the house has been significantly improved by the current owners and is presented in good external order, there is scope for further modernisation internally to improve energy performance and reduce running costs.
This is a countryside home for buyers who prioritise character, privacy and outdoor space over a new-build specification. It suits families who want room to work and play from home, or purchasers looking to enhance energy efficiency and personalise a period property on a large plot.
