A charming cottage set in 5 acres of grounds with two large paddocks and a collection of stables. The land is currently in use as a personal smallholding and would also be perfect for small equestrian use.

General Description - A superb, renovated stone and brick cottage set in grounds extending to 5 acres with a smallholding setup on the edge of the revered Charnwood Forest. The property has been sympathetically and expertly extended and renovated and now provides circa 2,250 sq ft of internal living accommodation.

Outside, are landscaped gardens, a gated driveway and double garage/workshop. Across the driveway is a yard setup with a collection of block and timber stables, haystore and smaller outbuildings. There are two large paddocks that are currently used in rotation as a personal smallholding, and a delightful large pond. The land would also be perfect for small equine use.

Location - Hobby Hall is situated between the market towns of Loughborough and Leicester. There are excellent local transport links via the M1 motorway and wider network, and a full array of excellent amenities in the nearby towns.

There is also a wide selection of excellent local schooling choices, both state and independent. The property occupies a position on the edge of the local revered Charnwood Forest with its beautiful, varied countryside and available walks.

Hobby Hall - Internally, the property offers circa 2,250 sq ft of delightfully presented living space laid across two floors. The joinery is mainly in solid Oak and finished to a particularly high standard including double glazed windows throughout.

Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms, a four-piece family bathroom and contemporary shower room.

The living areas are laid around the entrance hall with w.c, with a light filled drawing room, large original reception room currently used as a games room and snug, and a study. The kitchen is set to the rear of the house and is fitted in a shaker style with large dining area and boot room off. There is direct access to both a private courtyard and the formal gardens to either side.

Gardens And Grounds - The property has a wealth of outside space including gated parking, a private hard landscaped courtyard and lawned formal gardens. Across the drive are 5 acres of paddocks with a collection of block and timber outbuildings. The paddocks have a water supply, and there is a delightful pond to the bottom corner.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on April 20, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 20, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
