Set on about half an acre in one of Newtown Linford’s most sought-after lanes, this individually designed 1950s detached house offers generous family accommodation and exceptional rural views over Bradgate Park. Light-filled reception rooms, a garden/dining room and a principal bedroom with balcony provide strong day-to-day living and memorable outlooks for family life.
The house presents practical utility with a large utility space, gardener’s WC, walk-in pantry and an oversized integral garage, plus a wide driveway for multiple vehicles. West-facing rear lawns, an ornamental pond and open field views create private outdoor rooms ideal for children, pets and gardens to grow.
There is genuine potential to update and reconfigure internally; the kitchen could be opened up to the sitting room for a more contemporary layout. Built in 1953 with double glazing installed before 2002 and cavity walls assumed uninsulated, the property may benefit from modern energy-efficiency improvements. EPC C reflects reasonable efficiency now but upgrading insulation and services could reduce running costs.
Notable practical considerations are slow broadband speeds in this location and a higher Council Tax (Band F). Buyers should also allow for sympathetic updating throughout to fully realise the house’s character and long-term value. Offered freehold with mains gas central heating and no known flooding or planning issues, this home suits families seeking a spacious, characterful property with a substantial plot in a peaceful village setting.
