A really interesting opportunity to purchase a unique investment comprising a wonderful, sympathetic conversion of the old Women's Institute Hall located in the small hamlet of Kilvington the boarders of the Vale of Belvoir, providing a productive holiday let which is rented on a weekly basis and can command up to �700 to �800 per week depending on seasonal conditions.
This detached property has seen a complete programme of restoration over the years, retaining much of its original character blended with the benefits of modern living and offering around 1,000 sq.ft. of floor area. The property occupies a low maintenance, landscaped plot which offers an excellent level of off road parking with a gated driveway and courtyard area at the rear overlooking adjacent fields.
Internally the property offers a mainly ground floor layout with an additional room in the eaves (with limited head height). The main accommodation comprises an enclosed entrance porch which links through into a stunning sitting room with high vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and a dual aspect which is large enough to accommodate both a living and dining space and leads through into an inner hallway. Off the inner hallway is a ground floor bedroom with adjacent bathroom and WC. To the southerly side is a tastefully appointed and well proportioned living kitchen with attractive, high, vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers, wood flooring and a kitchen area having a range of modern units, including a central island unit, leading through into a living space which looks out onto adjacent fields. A staircase rises to a further room located in the eaves.
Overall this is a really interesting opportunity to acquire an individual, self contained investment property which could have long term potential, subject to necessary consents.

Planning use is for serviced accommodation / holiday let. There are various government criteria regarding properties classed as "holiday lets" and their use, particularly regarding number of days let through the year, these can have an implication on tax if the criteria isn't met.
We are aware there is planning approved approximately half a mile away at "Belvoir Lakes", to develop the site for self catering holiday lodges around a fishing lake complex. The development of the lakes has been in the pipeline for many years and to date has yet to be developed. In its current guise it provides delightful country and lake side walks, being dissected by various footpaths, making it ideal for keen dog walkers or ramblers.
