**STUNNING DOUBLE FRONTED PERIOD FARMHOUSE ** 4,000 SQ FT OF ACCOMMODATION WITH ADDITIONAL PERIOD BRICK BARN WITH PLANNING PERMISSION ** 7 DOUBLE BEDROOMS ** 3 BATH/SHOWER ROOMS** 4 RECEPTION ROOMS** LARGE DINING KITCHEN ** BEAUTIFUL PLOT WITH GARDENS, STABLING & PADDOCKS SET IN APROX 30 ACRES ** FAR REACHING VIEWS **

A rare opportunity to acquire a stunning double fronted period farmhouse with later additions, offering in the region of 4000 sq ft of accommodation with an additional period brick barn with planning permission for conversion into an additional residential property of 3000 sq ft, all occupying a beautiful plot with walled front gardens, stabling and paddocks to the rear which in total lies in the region of 30 acres.

In its current layout this is a wonderful opportunity particularly for large or extended families to purchase a wonderful village home in a delightful setting with far reaching views across the property's own land to the rear and elevated views to the front with Belvoir Castle on the horizon.

The initial walled frontage creates an attractive approach onto a substantial forecourt providing a considerable level of off road parking and leading to the attached outbuildings and barns, which currently provide either stabling, workshop or garage space. With the approved planning these could offer scope to create a superb character conversion which could be developed as a separate dwelling or alternatively would make an excellent annexe style facility for dependent relatives.

The farmhouse is an attractive traditional brick and pantiled three storey home which has been extended to the rear elevation offering up to 7 double bedrooms, 3 bath/shower rooms and the ground floor providing 4 receptions, large dining kitchen, spacious utility with cloakroom off and secondary staircase rising to the seventh bedroom/first floor office. There is an additional cloakroom off the main entrance hall.

The property offers a great deal of character very typical of its era and has been well maintained over the years providing an excellent family home with further potential.

The formal gardens to the front offer a pleasant outlook with established walled frontage and well stocked borders, encompassing the farmhouse and leading to a range of grass paddocks with associated outbuildings.

Overall this is a unique opportunity to purchase a beautiful well proprtioned home and viewing is the only way to appreciate the location, accommodation and grounds on offer.
