A handsome Grade II listed ironstone farmhouse set on approximately 2.3 acres, offering exceptional scope for renovation and conversion (subject to planning). The main house extends to nearly 6,000 sq ft and is complemented by extensive attached and detached outbuildings, a two-storey coach house, open-sided barns and a separate garage — all arranged around a central courtyard. The setting delivers far-reaching countryside views and three separate vehicular accesses, making the site attractive for a single large residence, multiple dwellings or a courtyard conversion.
The property is largely original and requires comprehensive modernisation throughout; services and installations have not been tested. Although planning consent and Listed Building approval were previously granted (1986 & 1991) and part conversion was carried out, the discharge of any conditions has not been confirmed. Buyers should expect listed-building constraints that will affect scope and cost of works and should make their own planning and heritage enquiries.
For buyers seeking a sizeable rural project, the estate presents clear development and investment potential: large footprint, coach house with separate access, plentiful outbuildings and strong digital connectivity. The village provides useful local amenities, a highly regarded primary school and convenient links to Market Harborough rail and major road routes. Be aware that the house’s listed status, substantial renovation requirements and a relatively high Council Tax band will add to holding and redevelopment costs.
