5 Bedroom Detached, North Villages

  • A most unusual and deceptive family home of considerable character located on an exceptional plot with lawned tennis court, swimming pool, formal gardens, stabling and far reaching views over Bradgate Park and the Charnwood Forest. Station Road Cropston has long been regarded as one of the prime residential addresses in Leicestershire and this fine family home was amongst the first properties to be built in this location. The popularity of the area is derived not only because of the quality and diversity of the housing stock, but also because of excellent road, rail and air communications, and access to the market town of Loughborough and the city of Leicester. The area provides extremely well regarded schooling in the state and private sector with the Loughborough Endowed and Grammar Schools, together with Ratcliffe College and Loughborough Universities providing a major draw for people seeking to move into the area. The accommodation which is gas centrally heated is largely to the original design and currently provides an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, breakfast room, breakfast kitchen and utility rooms. Two staircases provide access to five bedrooms, bathroom and WC.
  • Outside the property is well screened from Station Road, a driveway provides ample car standing space and gives access to a garage with ancillary stores, cloakroom and tackroom. Side vehicular access provides room for heavy machinery along with further ingress via a gate to the stabling. Immediately to the rear of the property is an attractive terrace, tennis lawn, stocked flower borders and many specimen trees. The middle section of the property is provided with gravelled yard and stabling, and this accommodation is thought suitable for adaptation for alternative uses (subject to the usual consents). To the rear of the garden is an exquisite Orchard and a heated outdoor pool, beyond which are delightful views over fields and Charnwood Forest. This property is offered for sale with agent's strongest recommendation.
