Bumble Bee Lane, Leicestershire, LE10

Field House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial building plot with detailed planning consent for a striking contemporary single-storey residence extending to over 5,000 sq ft, set within approximately 15 acres of rural Leicestershire countryside.

The approved design maximises its setting, offering wraparound gardens and a modern layout suited to family living. Accommodation includes an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, home office/snug, utility and boot room, plant room, and four generous ensuite bedrooms alongside a principal bathroom.

Importantly, whilst originally conceived as an off-grid dwelling, permission has now also been granted to connect to mains electricity, providing flexibility for future owners. Notwithstanding this, the development will still utilise renewable energy sources as part of its overall sustainable design approach.

The site extends to circa 15 acres, comprising around 5 acres of residential curtilage and 10 acres of paddock/rewilding land. The scheme places strong emphasis on sustainability and biodiversity, with proposals including wildflower meadows, woodland planting, and a landscape-led design that integrates the dwelling into its surroundings.

Located off Bumblebee Lane near Sharnford which lies in close proximity to Wigston Parva, the property enjoys a peaceful yet accessible position, with excellent road links via the A5 and M1. Rugby station is approximately 25 minutes away, offering direct services to London Euston in under an hour, while Birmingham is within a 40-minute journey.

Planning permission (ref: 20/1461/FUL, granted March 2024) represents a "Grand Designs"-style opportunity to create a landmark, sustainable home in a highly attractive rural setting.
