Maplewell Road, Woodhouse Eaves, LE12

When heading out of the pretty village of Woodhouse Eaves toward the ancient Charnwood Forest, you will discover a distinctive granite stone cottage sitting at the edge of the village. A gem of a home enjoying a mature, leafy setting adjoining open countryside. With its classic Charnwood construction, granite elevations and a beautiful graded Swithland slate roof, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a truly individual home in a highly sought-after location.

Formerly a four-bedroom house, the property has been reconfigured to offer three generous double bedrooms, providing spacious, well-balanced accommodation throughout. The welcoming hallway leads to a substantial drawing room, an elegant space with parquet flooring, a feature fireplace, and views across the garden, perfect for both entertaining and relaxing.

At the heart of the home is a traditional breakfast kitchen, accompanied by a useful utility room/boot room. One of the seller’s favourite spaces is the light and open living dining room, which easily accommodates both a formal dining and living area, overlooking the gardens through two large windows. An external door opens to a covered patio, ideal for al fresco dining which enjoys the peaceful outdoor setting. A cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to three large double bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes. There is a family bathroom and an additional shower room, offering both comfort and practicality.

Outside, the charm continues. A gated side driveway leads to a tandem garage with electric up and over door, with direct access into a pretty courtyard. Beyond the courtyard, you’ll find a greenhouse and a large, mature garden with sweeping lawn, established trees, and well-stocked borders. This garden is a true highlight, private, peaceful, and full of potential.

This Maplewell Road home has been in the same family for over 30 years and is now ready for its next chapter. While some cosmetic updating is required, the space, potential, character, and setting are truly exceptional. Homes of this calibre and location seldom come to market.
