General Description
Smiths Property Experts offer to the market a most special detached family home set in generous grounds extending to approximately two-thirds of an acre. Situated in the highly regarded Charnwood village of Swithland, the rear gardens enjoy a south west facing aspect and views of open countryside.
Now requiring total refurbishment, the property is a true 'blank canvas' for an incoming purchaser. In our opinion, this property offers a unique and rarely available opportunity to acquire a generous, good-quality home in this prime residential location.
The Main House
The main house is of excellent construction and quality, boasting spacious accommodation, with a self-contained annexe to the right-hand side. With potential to extend (subject to the necessary planning consents), and requiring full modernisation throughout, the structure of the main house is believed to be in excellent condition. In total, and in the current layout, the gross floor area is approximately 2,841 square feet, including the attached double garaging.
Accessed via a front porch, expect to find accommodation comprising a spacious central reception hall leading to a kitchen/breakfast room with a pantry, a dining room, and a large main sitting room with a garden room to the rear. There is also a large utility room, a bathroom, and a home office on the ground floor. The central first-floor landing leads to three generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
With its own front door, the annexe is self-contained. The space is excellent and would suit a teenager's suite or a multi-generational living setup. There is, in brief, a kitchen, a sitting room, and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom.
The Outside
Set within the outstanding Charnwood Forest, the property offers a private and mature plot. Set back from the road behind refitted electric gates and mature front gardens with a sweeping tarmac driveway, there is off-road parking to the front for multiple vehicles. There is also a large double garage to the left-hand side of the main house.
To the rear are generous lawned gardens. Totally private, benefiting from all-day sun, and with views of open countryside to the rear. There are mature borders and beds, and areas of real interest throughout. The grounds are full of mature specimen plants.
