Description

General Description

Smiths Property Experts offer to the market with no upward chain a superb period home occupying a prominent position in the heart of the revered Leicestershire village of Wymeswold. The property is made up of a beautiful four-bedroom family home and a large, connected brick barn that was once a thriving commercial enterprise. There is potential to either integrate the barn with the house to create a 3,000 square feet family home, convert it to residential annexe accommodation for extended families, or operate a new commercial enterprise from the building subject to necessary planning consents. 

The Main House

This period home of brick under slate construction offers a wealth of living space. The main house boasts four large bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, a family bathroom, and four reception rooms including a bay-fronted sitting room, and a kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a half cellar and a substantial garden room that gives covered access to the adjacent barn.

The Barn

The barn is fitted out to a sensible standard. Once a well-known pine furniture shop, there is potential for the eventual purchaser to operate commercially once again or convert and integrate the barn into either further living accommodation, workshops, or secondary annexed accommodation. There are two substantial rooms upstairs separated by the landing, and a further two downstairs accessed via a generous hallway. There is also a w.c and a working shower. The barn has running water, central heating, and full wiring.

The Outside

The property is positioned slightly back from Far Street, with vehicular access to the rear through a pretty coach house entrance.

To the rear is off-road parking and a generous flagstone courtyard, which defined properly could in our opinion become wonderful gardens. In the courtyard there is a substantial brick under-tile outbuilding/store.
