Laburnum House is a rare, characterful period home in the heart of Stathern, offering more than 2,600 sq ft of flexible living across three floors. Dating to c.1750 and once part of the local lace-making industry, the house retains high ceilings, original fireplaces and generous reception rooms that will suit family life and entertaining. A modern, well-equipped kitchen compliments period detail to provide a practical hub for daily use.
Set on a large corner plot of about 0.26 acres, the property’s wraparound gardens, mature trees, patio areas and a stream boundary create private outdoor space for children and pets. Two cellar rooms provide substantial storage or hobby space. The village location in the Vale of Belvoir benefits from a strong community, good local amenities and highly regarded primary schooling nearby.
Buyers should note a few practical drawbacks: accommodation includes a single house bathroom and one ground-floor WC, broadband speeds are slow, and visible insulation in the original granite walls is assumed absent. Off-street parking appears limited and council tax is high (Band F). While the kitchen is recently upgraded, other areas will respond well to sympathetic updating if a buyer wants to improve energy performance or refresh interior finishes.
This house will suit families seeking a distinctive, roomy village home with history and outdoor space, or purchasers wanting a character property with scope to modernise utilities and comfort. The combination of generous rooms, large garden and village setting is a clear strength, balanced by practical considerations around services, parking and energy efficiency.
