Tan Yard, Swannington

Welcome to Tan Yard, This small cul-de-sac off the middle of Main Street is one of the oldest parts of Swannington with rich history dating back to at least the 18th century. Once a worker's cottage for local leather tanning, this property has been modernised to meet today’s standards while preserving its unique heritage.

The property’s standout feature is its expansive gardens—an impressive 15,000 square feet offering limitless potential for outdoor living, gardening, or future expansion. Approaching Tan Yard, you’ll find off-road parking and a double garage, with views extending over the lush, sprawling gardens, making this cottage a true retreat.

Inside, the spacious living/dining area welcomes you with warm wood laminate flooring, double-glazed windows to the front and side, and a charming wood burner that brings coziness to the room. From here, you’ll find access to the kitchen and a versatile reception/office room.

This room features double-glazed windows overlooking the beautiful gardens, housing the recently updated gas combi boiler.
