A substantial six bedroomed detached former farmhouse in need of complete modernisation and refurbishment, occupying a rural setting enjoying stunning views over south Leicestershire countryside.

Dating back to circa 1900, the property is approached via a long shared driveway, and includes three reception rooms, kitchen, larder, pantry and wet shower room, whilst on the upper floor are six bedrooms approached via two staircases, together with a study, store and family bathroom.

Outside, there are gardens on three sides, together with a derelict brick farm outbuilding.

Location - Knaptoft Lodge Farm occupies a rural setting adjacent to a range of derelict outbuildings, approached via a long shared driveway off Welford Road (A5199), some 11 miles south of Leicester and just over 8 miles west of the thriving town of Market Harborough. For the commuter, both Rugby and Market Harborough have mainline rail services to London, with the M1 accessible at Junction 20 in Lutterworth, with the A14 lying to the south. Market Harborough has an excellent range of local shops and supermarkets, as does Lutterworth, with village shops in nearby Gilmorton, Husbands Bosworth and North Kilworth.

    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 March 27, 2024

    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
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
