General Description - Alexanders of Ashby-de-la-Zouch are delighted to introduce to the market a most individual and impressive period former Coaching Inn, occupying grounds of 1/3 of an acre with open views to the front, in the heart of North Leicestershire. The property is not listed and boasts a wealth of character features and originality, combined with high ceilings and modern furnishing.

With a generous gross floor area of circa 3,400 square feet, the property offers a unique opportunity for a purchaser looking for space, character and large mature gardens. Of particular note is that the property is well insulated, double glazed throughout and has a modern boiler to keep energy costs down.

Location - The property enjoys a prominent position, with a beautiful late Georgian facade, in the village of Coleorton. This delightful village settlement offers countryside walks and a range of services including good public houses and excellent road access to nearby Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Loughborough and Coalville. The M42 motorway link is just 3 miles away giving wider access to Birmingham, Nottingham and their associated airports. There are excellent schooling options close by including the Endowed Schools in Loughborough, Repton, Twycross House and the Dixie in Market Bosworth.

The Old Inn - Internally, the property provides a wealth of beautifully presented living accommodation laid over three floors, with the addition of a useful cellar (with acceptable head height) extending to 3,400 square feet. There are high ceilings and the accommodation benefits from an abundance of light, with views to the front and rear. In total, there are four reception rooms including a kitchen/breakfast room, snug, dining room and superb drawing room.

Upstairs, in the main part of the house, are four large double bedrooms and two bathrooms and accessed via a spiral staircase from the dining room are two further large flexible rooms that can be used as a separate annex suite for teenagers or an au pair, alternatively as an excellent home office space. There are also a collection of useful service rooms including a boot room, utility room, workshop/store and downstairs w.c.

Gardens And Grounds - The property is set behind a private parking area to the front and an integrated double garage to the side with electrically operable door. To the front are views across open countryside towards nearby Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

To the rear are beautiful lawned gardens benefitting a sunny aspect, with a high degree of privacy throughout. The lawns are tiered and flanked by mature borders and hedgerows and there is a raised entertaining terrace and summer house at the top of the garden. In addition, is a delightful walled courtyard accessed from French doors in the kitchen that would make a super al fresco entertaining area.

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

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 26, 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
