4 bedroom character property for sale

If you’re looking for an escape to the country, this one’s been on the television program! Bloomhills Farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to acquire a stunning Grade II listed character home in the heart of the highly desirable village of Dunton Bassett.

Accommodation - Believed to have originally comprised two timber-framed cottages, this charming property was sympathetically redeveloped circa 2011, with a small bespoke development constructed to the rear. Formerly the last working farm in the village, the farmhouse now provides substantial and beautifully characterful accommodation, ideal for modern family living.

The property retains a wealth of period features, including exposed beams, latch-and-brace doors, brick flooring, and original fireplaces, all blending effortlessly with practical contemporary spaces.

Accessed from Main Street via a glazed front door, Bloomhills Farmhouse opens into a spacious entrance hall with cloakroom/WC fitted with a white two-piece suite. The principal sitting room is a warm and inviting space featuring a cast iron log burner set within an exposed brick surround with slate hearth and oak mantle, together with original storage cupboards. An internal door leads through to a large study, enjoying exposed ceiling beams and views over the rear garden.

A charming inner hall with brick flooring leads to the second sitting room/snug, complete with a range and an original bread oven, which forms part of the Grade II Listing, adding further character and history to the home. Beyond this lies a versatile garage/gym with double doors to the front and an airing cupboard, which leads through to a utility room fitted with a range of cream-fronted base units, ceramic sink, plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a tumble dryer. There is also a practical dog shower with access to the rear parking area.

The dining room, with its exposed beams, provides an excellent space for entertaining and connects to the impressive breakfast kitchen. This well-appointed kitchen features a range of cream base and wall units, a large central island with oak worktop, ceramic one-and-a-quarter bowl sink with flexible mixer tap, Smeg range cooker with double oven and six-ring gas hob, wine cooler, integrated dishwasher, and space for an American-style fridge freezer.

The first-floor landing leads to four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite benefits from a spacious ensuite bathroom, fitted with a five-piece suite comprising WC, twin circular wash basins set on an oak vanity unit with storage beneath, freestanding roll-edge bath with shower attachment, and a separate double shower cubicle with fixed and flexible shower heads.

The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom fitted with a white three-piece suite including low flush WC, pedestal wash hand basin, and shaped bath with shower over. A second airing cupboard provides additional storage.

Outside - Vehicle access to the rear leads to a private driveway providing ample parking. The enclosed south facing rear gardens have been designed for low maintenance and outdoor enjoyment, featuring an Artificial Grass lawn, block-paved patio areas, raised planting beds, and an illuminated well that creates a unique focal point.

Location - Dunton Bassett is a desirable thriving south Leicestershire village with a strong sense of community and good local amenities, with particularly good access to road networks and local centres of employment.

The village is accessed off the main A426 within close proximity of Lutterworth (approximately 4 miles) and Broughton Astley (approximately 1.5 miles) where a larger selection of amenities can be found. The village is well placed for motorway access in Lutterworth (M1 Junction 20) and a 50-minute high speed train service to London Euston can be accessed from Rugby station (approx. 11 miles away).
