An increasingly rare opportunity to combine substantial work premises alongside a wonderful character home of excellent proportions, situated in the heart of this popular village with its well thought of pub and excellent access to Leicester, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough.

The Ferns and The Old Bakehouse extends to approximately 8,780 sq ft in total and offers highly versatile accommodation including a substantial main residence, former village shop and gallery spaces, self-contained apartment accommodation, together with extensive workshops, stores, garages and outbuildings.

The property has a large amount of outbuildings, originally barns and stables, now utilised as multiple garages and workshops (for a renowned classic car restoration business), but which may allow for other business operations due to the established use, subject where necessary to any relevant consents.

The main property has very much a village farmhouse feel throughout, centred around a large living kitchen looking out to the rear, together with scullery/boot room areas, pantry storage and four further reception rooms including sitting room, dining room and snug accommodation.

The property has also been opened through to the connecting former village shop, now used as a gallery and studio space holding art classes and workshops, providing a fantastic lifestyle or business opportunity. Above this is a substantial self-contained apartment with its own sitting room, kitchen, three bedrooms and bathroom accommodation, which could work well for a number of different uses including multi-generational living, annex accommodation, guest accommodation or business-related use, subject where necessary to any permissions.

The separate accommodation and extensive range of buildings may also allow, in our opinion, for the property to be redivided or adapted further, offering excellent flexibility for a variety of purchasers.

Overall, a highly individual mixed residential and commercial opportunity offering extensive accommodation, established business use and exciting lifestyle potential within one of the area’s most desirable villages.
