Crox Farm House is a rare, characterful 17th-century farmhouse set in the Leicestershire countryside, arranged around a cobbled courtyard with extensive 19th-century outbuildings and a small paddock. At about 5,305 sq ft, the house offers generous reception space, a living kitchen with Aga, three reception rooms and a galleried landing leading to a large master suite. Original features such as exposed beams and period fireplaces remain throughout, giving the home strong historic charm.
The property sits on a very large plot in a prosperous rural village with excellent mobile and fast broadband — practical for home working. There is a garage and off-street parking and good local amenities including a pub, village church and sports facilities; well-regarded state and independent schools are within easy reach.
There is lapsed planning consent to convert the outbuildings; the permission has now expired and would need reapplication. As a 17th-century building, ongoing maintenance and sympathetic upgrading should be expected; the current layout provides scope for modernization and further conversion subject to planning. With two bathrooms for four double bedrooms, some buyers may want to add or reconfigure facilities.
This home will suit buyers seeking a prominent rural family house with character and scope for improvement, or those wanting ancillary conversion potential (subject to fresh consent). Its size, plot and village setting make it a distinctive property for family living or part home-and-business use.
