Holywell Drive, Loughborough, LE11

A little imagination, a dash of ambition and the chance to create something rather special! Situated on one of Loughborough’s prime residential addresses within the sought-after forest-side of town, is this exciting ‘project property’ brimming with potential and offered with full planning permission for enlargement.

Dating from the late 1950s to early 1960s, this detached home has never previously been offered on the open market and in family ownership for its entirety making it a particularly rare find. Requiring modernisation and updating throughout, it presents a blank canvas for the enthusiastic purchaser, ambitious developer, creative couple or growing family keen to put their own stamp on a property with real promise.

The existing accommodation comprises three bedrooms, a generous full-length lounge/diner, a separate study and a rear-facing kitchen. There is plenty to work with here, whether your vision is to sympathetically refresh the existing home or explore the exciting possibilities offered by the planning permission. In short, this is one for those who can look beyond the present and imagine the possibilities of the future.

The location is equally appealing. Just a short stroll from Loughborough University campus, the property also sits within both the Holywell and Mountfields Primary School catchment areas, making it an attractive proposition for those seeking a home in this well-regarded part of town.

Outside, the property occupies a substantial plot, with an extensive front lawn garden providing generous parking and further scope to create a particularly impressive driveway. An attached single garage is complemented by a side porch incorporating a large store, while a useful outdoor WC can be accessed from the rear garden.

The rear garden offers a pleasant, mature setting, predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by established beech hedging providing a softer, greener alternative to traditional fencing.

Practicality has not been forgotten either, with gas central heating supplied by a relatively modern boiler with hot water tank along with majority secondary double glazing meaning you could move right-in and slowly progress modernisations over time.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this is a property with plenty of opportunities, a prime address and a future waiting to be shaped. Whether you are a local developer looking for your next project, a couple searching for a home to make your own, or a family keen to explore the potential of a superb forest-side location, this could be the opportunity you have been waiting for.

The plot is promising, the planning is in place, and the possibilities are yours to explore!
