Lutterworth Road, Gilmorton, LE17

Set on the edge of the charming village of Gilmorton, Windy Hollow is a striking, unlisted barn conversion offering a rare blend of history, space, and versatility. Originally constructed in the late 1800s and thoughtfully converted over 25 years ago, this brick-built barn with a slate roof has been sympathetically extended to create a warm and characterful family home.

The 4-bedroom main residence has been expanded to the south, east, and west, incorporating an oak-framed entrance hall, a spacious living kitchen, and a light-filled garden room that brings the outside in. A separate 2-bedroom annex provides flexible accommodation for guests, multigenerational living, or income potential, while a dedicated home office/gym adds to the property’s versatility.

The approach to the house is via double electric gates and high brick entrance pillars. The long gravel driveway, which is flanked by an avenue of Field Maples, sweeping to the left of the paddock, the driveway culminates in a generous gravelled area to the front of the house, a York stone terrace providing an alfresco dining area

To the right is a double garage and access to Sleepy Hollow the two bedroom self contained annex.

The rear garden has been landscaped to include a terrace, lawned area with shrubs and trees, pond being stream fed with pontoon. A lovely feature is a circular seating area with fire pit.

Past the rear gardens are further well kept paddock lands perfect for equestrian use.
