Woolsthorpe By Belvoir

An excellent opportunity to purchase a detached family orientated home located right at the heart of this highly regarded and much sought after village with views from the first floor across to Belvoir Castle and occupying what is a delightful established plot which is relatively generous by modern standards.

The property offers a versatile layout which has been extended to the rear with the addition of a pleasant garden room/conservatory with views into the garden linking off a well proportioned dining kitchen, with two further reception areas creating an additional snug and well proportioned sitting/dining room with a solid fuel stove. In addition there is a useful ground floor cloak room leading off a central hallway. An attractive bright staircase with half landing rises to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms and a well proportioned bathroom.

In addition the property benefits from double glazed windows, an upgraded oil fired central heating system and relatively neutral decoration throughout and, subject to consent, offers scope to potentially expand the accommodation further.

The property occupies a wonderful lovingly established plot set back from the lane with a hedged frontage providing a good degree of privacy, a gated driveway providing off road car standing for numerous vehicles and in turn leading to a brick built double garage at the rear. The rear garden is a good size by modern standards, extending to almost 90 ft. in length and comprising formal gardens with lawns and well stocked borders and a vegetable garden at the foot.

We understand that the property has benefited from historic planning permission to extend the accommodation further to a five bedroom home. Although this has lapsed and would need to be reapplied for, it does suggest there maybe further potential at the property to expand it further.

Viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
