Staythorpe Road, Rolleston

A period 5 bedroom family home full of timeless charm and character in the popular village of Rolleston.

From the moment you step through the door this house feels like a home. You could imagine family Christmases in the large central dining room with the log burning stove lit and twinkly lights adorning the high ceilings. Or a cosy night in snuggled down in the sitting room around the fire.

Spring and summer in this home would be special too; the french doors in the sitting room open to bring the outside in, the generous stone patio which offers the perfect spot for a sunny barbecue, the delightful garden room as a retreat for cooler evenings and friends and family enjoying the expansive garden, this home has so much to offer.

Overflowing with history and personality, this period home boasts spacious rooms, tall ceilings, beautiful fireplaces and log burners. The current owners have replaced all of the windows in the main house with elegant double glazed sash windows which flood the property with natural light.

The property was extended over 40 years ago to create a large family sitting room and upstairs, a lovely master bedroom with ensuite. The former outhouses have been beautifully converted to provide a fifth bedroom, bathroom and living room: a fabulous guest suite or family annexe.

With five double bedrooms, oodles of living space and a garden you will fall in love with, this house feels like a forever home.
