Overview

The Property Home Farm is a quintessential rural retreat, combining timeless architectural character with superb lifestyle potential in a highly attractive countryside setting. The main residence is defined by its striking rendered elevations and traditional stone detailing, creating a warm and welcoming home that has been sensitively maintained to preserve its historic charm.

The ground floor accommodation includes a generous sitting room with exposed beams and an inset fireplace housing a freestanding wood-burning stove, set beneath a timber lintel and complemented by a brick surround and stone hearth, forming a striking focal point. Adjacent is a dining room, also with exposed beams and its own fireplace, offering an additional characterful reception space.

The modern open-plan kitchen and dining area provides a bright and sociable heart of the home, fitted with a range-style cooker with ceramic hob, granite worktops and a range of fitted cabinetry. A Belfast-style sink sits beneath the window, while tiled splashbacks and integrated storage combine practicality with style.

On the first floor, the accommodation continues in a similar vein of character and comfort. The generous principal bedroom suite provides a peaceful retreat with a private dressing area and spacious en suite bathroom, while two further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a well-appointed shower room.

Outside The property offers an extensive range of outbuildings arranged around a functional courtyard. These versatile spaces include a series of stables, a large garage and a substantial home office, creating excellent flexibility for those working from home or requiring ancillary accommodation.

The grounds include a beautifully maintained garden with a level lawn and a timber pergola, providing an ideal setting for al fresco dining. Beyond the immediate garden, the property extends into a substantial, well-fenced paddock currently used for grazing, offering excellent potential for equestrian use or smallholding, all set against the backdrop of rolling open countryside.

A further paddock, amounting to 1.1 acres, immediately to the west of the house is available by separate negotiation.

Location Home Farm enjoys a peaceful position in the charming Welland Valley village of Glooston, surrounded by some of south Leicestershire’s most attractive rolling countryside.
