Set within almost 10 acres on the edge of Barrow upon Soar, this substantial country residence delivers flexible living across about 8,700 sq ft. The house is arranged over three floors with five bedrooms, extensive reception rooms, a private leisure complex with heated indoor pool, spa and gym, and a self-contained two-bedroom apartment above the triple garage. Mature gardens, six paddocks and stabling make this property well-suited to equestrian owners or buyers seeking an all-in-one country lifestyle.
The accommodation is generous and versatile: formal and informal reception rooms include a billiards room, cinema, bespoke library and a large bespoke kitchen with high-end appliances. Practical outbuildings include a triple garage, workshop and loose boxes with power and lighting. The property is approached via gated electric entrances and a long sweeping driveway providing a high degree of privacy and security.
Important practical points are stated plainly. The house dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls assumed without insulation; upkeep and potential upgrading (insulation, windows/doors, services) should be factored into any purchase. Heating runs from an LPG-fired boiler and the EPC is rated D. Broadband speeds are slow locally; mobile signal and utilities are average. Council tax is in the highest band and will be a significant ongoing cost.
This home will suit an owner-occupier family who want equestrian facilities and entertainment spaces on one private site, or an investor seeking a high-end lifestyle asset with rental or hospitality potential. The size, leisure infrastructure and annex offer multiple income or family-use scenarios, but buyers should budget for fabric maintenance and service upgrades given the age and construction of the buildings.
