The Common, Barwell, LE9

Situated in an elevated position at the head of The Common, this substantial detached cottage-style residence dates back to circa 1900 and offers 1,698 sq. ft. of versatile living space. Full of traditional character, the property retains prominent dark wood ceiling beams and textured finishes throughout. Offered to the market as a complete refurbishment opportunity, the home requires an extensive scheme of modernisation, repair, and remedial overhaul throughout both the interior and exterior fabric, representing an ideal project for seasoned investors, builders, or buyers seeking a substantial property to comprehensively renovate.

The versatile ground-floor layout begins with an entrance porch leading into a fitted kitchen with slate-style flooring and a brick cooking recess. From here, doors lead into a dining room and a large lounge featuring an exposed brick fireplace with a log burner. The ground floor accommodation continues into an adjoining garden room and a separate rear sunroom, both offering access to the gardens.

To the first floor, a split-level landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The primary bedroom is particularly generous, measuring over 14 feet in length and fitted with built-in storage. The home benefits from established proportions throughout, offering ample scope for reconfiguration and modernisation to suit contemporary living requirements.

Outside, the property occupies an elevated, sloping plot behind a gated brick-paved driveway which provides off-road parking and leads to an integral garage. The grounds include tiered rear gardens with established planting, retaining structures, and paved pathways, alongside attached and detached outbuildings that require comprehensive maintenance and repair.
