Description

A highly unique and rare offering to the open market, West Beacon Farm is a haven situated within the picturesque Charnwood Forest set in 29 acres of private grounds. The home and land has been thoughtfully developed by the previous owner in an effort to be carbon zero in its use with the planting of 15,000 trees around the perimeter and the installation of a large lake which is the heat source for the heat pump system. The property is approached by an impressive tree lined gated driveway and on the ground floor, there are three reception rooms in addition to the breakfast kitchen and utility room, three ground floor bedrooms and two shower rooms. On the first floor there is a bedroom, shower room and an impressive snooker room and large loft space with potential for further conversion. Outside the property comes into its own with beautifully landscaped and maintained gardens to include a vegetable garden, orchard and lake. There is a most impressive award winning helicopter hangar which is a design masterpiece and won a design award with connecting helipad. This building lends itself to a vast array of potential uses. In addition there is a yard with a range of barns, outbuildings and stabling. Rarely do such individual homes present themselves onto the open market and it would be ideal for a family purchaser looking to find their long-term home or an enthusiast looking for a low carbon and sustainable home.

There are two sets of solar panels providing 12kW hours and 200kWh hour battery capacity. The property was occupied by a local philanthropist and renewable energy expert who sought to establish a carbon zero home which is self-sufficient in terms of energy. The owner planted 15,000 trees on the site and installed a 2 million gallon lake filled naturally with fresh Springwater from the stream which runs through the plot. Whilst the property was built in the 1960s, the owner commissioned a double wall Eskin around the perimeter of the property in approximately 2009 to create thermal efficiency within the property.
