A unique equestrian opportunity to acquire a four bedroomed detached family house set in gardens and paddock land extending to approximately 10 acres having extensive farm buildings, stables and menage, occupying a delightful rural setting just outside the highly sought after south Leicestershire village of Mowsley.

The M1 is accessible at Junction 20, and the A14 lies to the south. Leicestershire is renowned for its equestrian facilities, and British Showjumping Association have recently opened their National Training Centre just down the road at Home Farm, Hothorpe.
