Off to the left of the this, there is a utility / boot room with sink and plumbing for a washing machine. A separate doorway leads to a dual aspect home office, which could be utilised as a 6th bedroom should a buyer wish to do so. Alternatively, the utility room and office could (subject to necessary permissions, lend itself to a self-contained annex. There is a double bedroom accessible directly off the entrance room, with two built-in wardrobes and a view over the garden and open fields beyond.

The kitchen diner sits to the south corner of the property, a bright, well-proportioned room benefitting a dual aspect view over open countryside, incorporating a range of high gloss cream base and wall units with the highlight of the kitchen being the two stove, three oven Aga. The dining area benefits from a fantastic view out to the rear of the property with French doors leading out to a large decked area for inside/outside living, affording views over open countryside towards Lambley and the Vale of Belvoir.

A hallway off the kitchen diner leads to a further, open plan reception area with floor to ceiling glazing overlooking the front of the property currently used as a reading area. The family sized Lounge is accessed off the hallway, and takes full advantage of the views on offer via the floor to ceiling picture window, with a focal point fireplace, holding a log burner with a stone hearth and oak mantle piece.

The remaining four bedrooms, which are all double bedrooms are arranged off the hall way, two overlooking the front of the property, and two to the rear to include the principal bedroom suite, a generous and light double bedroom enjoying spectacular views with a full wall of fitted wardrobes and a three piece ensuite shower room.

A contemporary three piece family bathroom completes the accommodation and is fitted with a vanity wash hand basin, a low level WC, a chrome heated towel rail and a fitted whirlpool bath with mixer shower attachment and built in wall TV.

Outside
The property provides ample off street parking via the gated driveway, with the front of the property also displaying two feature lawns either side of the central walkway, bound by a gravelled path and gabion retaining walls and leads to the side garden featuring apple trees and mature shrubs. The south east facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a hedged boundary and an elevated decking platform, strategically placed to take full advantage of the lovely countryside views. A gate from the garden leads into a small paddock area measuring approximately 0.3 acres, an ideal recreational area which also could be used to keep pets or grow vegetables, among many other potential uses.

Development Plot
The existing barn building currently comprises a 1062sq ft, one storey building with off street parking and a small copse area to the foot of the plot. Planning is granted to convert this building into a two storey, 1600sq ft dwelling, providing three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an open plan kitchen lounge diner, alongside a utility room and WC. The commercial property is currently utilised as a training centre, measuring 2195sq ft, operating under use class E and benefits planning permission to demolish the building and replace it with a four bedroom detached house, comprising four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an open plan kitchen lounge diner and a separate reception room.

Alternatively to the current planning permission, a buyer could (subject to the necessary planning permissions) retain the existing building and apply for change of use to residential. The current owners use the commercial building as their business headquarters and this property could remain as business premises should a prospective buyer wish. The former tennis court provides an abundance of additional parking to the commercial premises, with the remainder of the plot made up of a paddock area to the rear of the car park which has views over the surrounding farm land
