Rawlins Close, Woodhouse Eaves, LE12

Sat proudly at the head of this small cul-de-sac in the heart of the village, this substantial home occupies an elevated, wide plot with mature gardens, generous living space and far-reaching glimpses across the surrounding countryside, all within a short walk of village life.

Offered with no upward chain, the house has clearly been well cared for and provides comfortable accommodation from the outset, while also presenting an exciting opportunity for somebody to gradually make it their own. What really sets it apart, however, is the combination of space, setting and plot.

The elevated position becomes apparent as soon as you arrive. To the front, the outlook reaches beyond mature trees towards the countryside, while upstairs there are further side elevation views across the village rooftops towards the church. It gives the house a sense of openness that is particularly unusual for such a central village location.

Inside, an entrance hall has useful cloaks storage together with a ground-floor WC.

The breakfast kitchen is a bright, dual-aspect room with an island providing a natural focal point. There is a built-in double oven, four-ring gas hob and extractor, together with an integrated dishwasher and tiled flooring. A door leads into a useful side passage and onwards to the utility room, where there is further storage, laundry space and a second sink.

From here there is also internal access into the garage, which has an electric up-and-over door, particularly useful for everyday family life.

The main living accommodation is where the proportions of the house really begin to show.

The lounge is a substantial room with a feature fireplace and broad sliding doors looking directly onto the mature rear garden. Beyond is the split level sun lounge, extending the living space further and creating an excellent connection with outside. Sliding doors open onto the patio, making this an especially enjoyable part of the house during the warmer months.

The garden room also connects with a separate study. Positioned towards the front of the house, this is a genuine work-from-home room rather than a desk squeezed into another space, with an outlook through the mature planting and glimpses towards the countryside beyond.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom takes advantage of some of the property's best views. Positioned at the front, it looks out from the elevated setting towards the surrounding Charnwood countryside and benefits from built-in wardrobes together with its own en-suite bathroom, incorporating both a bath and separate shower.

The second bedroom is another generous room overlooking the rear garden and has built-in storage. An adjoining nursery/dressing room adds an interesting degree of flexibility. It could work particularly well as a teenager's space, dressing room, private study or hobby room, depending upon the needs of its next owner.

The third bedroom is also double in size and enjoys a dual aspect, including views across the village rooftops towards Woodhouse Eaves church. Built-in storage completes the room.

A shower room and separate WC serve the remaining bedrooms.

For us though, one of the strongest reasons to consider this home on Rawlins Close is outside.

The width of the plot is immediately noticeable. Alongside the main driveway is additional hardstanding capable of accommodating a caravan or long-wheelbase vehicle, while the established front garden combines lawn, mature planting and gravelled beds.

The rear garden is even more impressive.

Broad and mature, it has developed into a series of different areas rather than simply one expanse of lawn. A large patio immediately outside the garden room provides plenty of space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while lawns, gravelled areas and established trees and shrubs create interest throughout the garden.

The additional width continues alongside the garage, providing space for a greenhouse and further storage, while the different levels and mature planting give the garden a feeling of privacy and character.

There is also a raised deck towards the far end of the garden which is currently not suitable for access and should not be entered during viewings.

And then there is Woodhouse Eaves itself.

One of the Charnwood Forest's most desirable villages, this is somewhere people choose not simply for the house they are buying, but for the lifestyle that surrounds it. The village has a highly regarded primary school together with independent shops, a greengrocer, butcher and deli, cafés, restaurants and popular pubs.

For those who enjoy being outdoors, some of Charnwood's finest countryside is virtually on the doorstep. Beacon Hill, the surrounding Charnwood Forest and local golf courses provide countless opportunities to walk, cycle and enjoy the landscape, while Loughborough and the wider road network remain readily accessible.

That is what makes the position of Rawlins Close particularly appealing. You can walk into the centre of the village, yet come home to a quiet cul-de-sac.

This is not a house whose appeal should be judged simply by counting bedrooms. It is about the overall scale of the accommodation, the flexibility of its living spaces, the size of the plot and, above all, the opportunity to live in one of Charnwood's most sought-after villages.

With no upward chain, it is ready for its next owner to enjoy from day one and, in time, to put their own stamp on a substantial home in a location that would be extremely difficult to recreate.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING CHECKS

 In accordance with Anti Money Laundering laws including the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, The Terrorism Act 2000, The Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and the Bribery Act 2010 we are required to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all clients selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Hipla via their online portal once you have had an offer accepted on a property. The cost of these checks is £25 (incl. VAT) per person, which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us issuing a memorandum of sale, directly to Hipla, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Hipla to compensate for our role in the provision of these checks.
