Melton Mowbray 7 miles, Leicester 8 miles, Loughborough 10 miles

About 49.24 acres (19.92 ha) in total

Situation
Hollies Farm is located at the northern end of Thrussington village on Old Gate Road, as shown on the farm plan. The farmhouse and buildings are within the village settlement boundary and are flanked by paddocks while the main block of farmland lies about ¼ mile to the north, again with access off Old Gate Road.
Thrussington is a rural village in the Charnwood District about 8 miles north-east of Leicester City Centre, and approximately 7 miles south-west of Melton Mowbray. The village lies in the popular Wreake valley and has a primary school, two public houses, a church of Norman origin, village store and hairdresser. These amenities are enhanced by more extensive facilities for shopping, culture, sports and schooling in Leicester, Loughborough and Melton Mowbray. The A46 provides easy access to Leicester and the M1 south as well as Nottingham and Newark, and there are regular train services from Leicester to London St Pancras and the north.
Lot 1 - Hollies Farm, 1 Old Gate Road – about 2.34 acres (0.94 ha)
The farmhouse, known as 1 Old Gate Road, is a modest brick and slated dwelling approached off the lane over a short path. It is not listed and is currently in a poor state of repair, with few modern amenities, although there are many traditional internal features that give character to the house. It comprises 3 reception rooms, kitchen and utility area downstairs, with 3 bedrooms and a potential bathroom above – it extends to a GIA of 1,267sq ft and the layout is shown on the floor plans.
The yard to the north is flanked by a dilapidated range of brick outbuildings including a single garage containing an oil tank, tool shed and 2 former stables extending to 1,220 sq ft. Close to the entrance from Old Gate Road, the farmbuildings include a tractor shed, various store sheds, a brick dairy and cowshed, a 6-bay pole barn, two cattle sheds and two more cattle yards set within one of the two paddocks that lie to the north and east of the steading. In all there are over 8,500 sq ft of farmbuildings at Hollies Farm.
Hollies Farm provides an enormous opportunity for the buyer to renovate and extend the existing farmhouse and buildings, or proceed with a more radical redevelopment plan – see Planning below.
Lot 2 – Paddock opposite 1 Old Gate Road – about 1.09 acres (0.44 ha)
This triangular paddock lies to the west of Old Gate Road with two gates opposite the farmhouse.
Lot 3 – Farmland on Old Gate Road – approximately 45.81 acres (18.54 ha)
The productive block of pasture land comprises seven fields which stretch east from Old Gate Road down to Ox Brook. The soil is classified as Grade 3 by DEFRA being a slowly permeable loam subject to slight seasonal waterlogging, and suitable for permanent grassland and dairying. The boundary fencing is stock-proof and there is a mains-fed water supply to the northern fields, with poly pipe to further troughs across the block. There is a cattle byre and holding pen in OS 6950 by the gate to Old Gate Road, and two further gates further up the lane.
General
Method of sale
Hollies Farm and land is offered for sale as a whole or in 3 Lots by private treaty.
Planning
Two formal Pre-Application enquiries have been made of Charnwood Borough Council, and they indicate that there is potential to replace the farmbuildings in Lot 1 with several new dwellings subject to more detailed analysis and design. OS 7405 and 7110 both lie within the settlement boundary for Thrussington, but outside the village conservation area, and the Council would seem to favour a scheme of 8 houses in preference to 2-3 larger dwellings. Further information can be obtained from the Agents.
