The Property
This highly individual detached home would suit a variety of different purchasers. The property in its current form is ideal for those wishing to downsize, yet seeking a property within stunning grounds and a superb location. The property would also suit those seeking a much larger property who would either wish to renew the previous planning consent for a substantial two storey extension or take advantage of the most recent planning consent granted in March 2022 for a substantial replacement dwelling. Properties with planning consent for such a large replacement home are rare in Charnwood Forest and the proposed dwelling with its extensive and flexible five bedroom accommodation gives purchasers an ideal opportunity to create a fabulous family home to their own taste and specification.
