General Description - Set in arguably one of the most desirable residential locations in the East Midlands, Grey Roofs occupies gated grounds of around 2 acres, backing onto Bradgate Park, positioned centrally on Warren Hill, Newtown Linford.
The property offers an exceptional opportunity for either complete redevelopment or significant enhancement (subject to any necessary consents being granted) and potentially could deliver a bespoke home that extends to 7,000 sq/ft + (outline plans and CGI's available).
An extremely exciting and increasingly rare opportunity either for an owner occupier or artisan developer.
Location - Grey Roofs is located on Warren Hill in the beautiful village of Newtown Linford, situated in the heart of the Charnwood Forest, arguably the most prestigious residential address in the Midlands. Charnwood Forest is renowned for its exceptional landscapes, beautiful woodland and historic parks. The area offers a selection of sought-after local businesses including well-know country pubs and restaurants. There are beautiful walks, as well as recreational and sporting opportunities abound, including Lingdale and Rothley Park golf clubs.
The greater area is well known for its exceptional local schooling, including Loughborough Endowed Schools and Ratcliffe College, amongst others. The market charter town of Loughborough is 3 miles away with a direct rail link to London St Pancras International (from 1h 14m).
Grey Roofs - The current property is a stone under Swithland slate roof house of standing and substance. The gross floor area totals circa 3,900 square feet, and the living space is laid across mainly the ground floor. There are three main living spaces including the kitchen, dining room and of particular note is the drawing room with its superb picture windows that showcase the grounds. There are five/six bedrooms and two bathrooms laid across both the ground and first floors.
Gardens And Grounds - The grounds are beautiful and mature with a South facing aspect to the rear and high degree of privacy. The current house is set behind wrought iron electric gates and a stone wall, with tarmac driveway and roundabout turning head at the top.
To the rear are beautiful manicured lawned gardens, a working garden with two substantial outbuildings and completely renovated tennis court.
Planning - The current vendors have previously drawn up plans to replace the current dwelling with a bespoke and truly individual family home of around 7000 sq/ft. The plans include provision for a swimming pool and gym complex, should the purchaser wish.
The proposed plans have not been advanced due to the fact the vendors are needing to return to the South East due to business commitments but we do hold conceptual drawings including a selection of CGI's (computer generated images).
The other alternative would be to simply refurbish and improve the existing dwelling which offers many living permutations depending on the type and style of accommodation required the point being with such a magnificent, premium plot the possibilities are endless.
