A Truly Unique Village Home with Separate Annex, Elevated Position & Stunning Charnwood Forest Views

An exceptional and highly individual home set within mature private gardens in the heart of Woodhouse Eaves, occupying a hidden elevated position with breath-taking views across village rooftops towards the rolling hills of Charnwood Forest. Offering flexible and characterful accommodation alongside a fully self-contained one-bedroom annex, ideal for multi-generational living or income potential, this is a truly special property that blends lifestyle, privacy and versatility in equal measure.

Approached via a discreet narrow driveway and set well back from the road, many would never know this wonderful home existed. Yet step out of the gate and you are immediately surrounded by the charm and convenience of one of Charnwood’s most sought-after village centres, with shops, pubs, a pharmacy and the local school all just moments away.

The property has been thoughtfully developed and adapted over many years, creating an incredibly versatile layout with a wealth of multi-purpose rooms suited to modern family living.

At the heart of the home is a fitted breakfast kitchen, enjoying pleasant views over the garden and offering excellent storage together with an electric range cooker. Two feature archways lead through to a substantial dining room, which in turn opens into a peaceful conservatory, a wonderfully private place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

The central lounge is a particularly impressive space, featuring a bay window, characterful fireplace and an open staircase rising to the first floor. Double doors open directly onto a raised decked seating area, a superb spot to enjoy the garden, the views and the tranquil wooded backdrop.

To the front of the property are two further reception rooms, a sitting room and a music room, both with bay windows capturing the evening sun and offering attractive outlooks towards the forest. A cloakroom Wc is conveniently positioned to the front, with space to add a shower cubicle if desired.

The ground floor also provides excellent bedroom accommodation, with a large double bedroom and a generous single bedroom, served by a modern shower room, ideal for guests or those seeking single-level living.

The first floor, set attractively into the eaves, adds further charm and character. A study landing leads to three double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a craft and hobby room. This light-filled space benefits from sliding doors and a Juliet balcony, perfectly framing the surrounding views. A central bathroom with free-standing bath is complemented by a separate full shower room.

A standout feature of this property is the fully self-contained one-bedroom annex, positioned privately within the grounds. Offering a lounge open to the kitchen, a bedroom with en-suite and an additional Wc, the annex has provided a reliable source of income for over a decade.

Externally the property is just as impressive. The driveway, shared only for the initial section with number 23 rises to reveal a large frontage with ample parking and turning space. Beyond the annex is a substantial carport and large garage, providing excellent storage and workshop potential.

The gardens wrap around the property, creating a wonderfully private setting with a real “cottage in the woods” feel. Decades of care and planting by the current owners have created a beautiful landscape filled with mature shrubs, trees and seasonal colour.

Multiple seating areas are positioned to enjoy the sun at different times of day, while additional features include a useful store and a charming summer house, perfect for relaxing with a book or entertaining friends.

If you are a multi-generational family, a buyer seeking a home with income potential, or simply someone wanting a unique Charnwood Forest village property with space, privacy and flexibility, this remarkable home will be incredibly hard to beat.
