Leicester, LE7 9XN

A rare offering to the market, Brook Farm is an impressive period stone built farmhouse set in a delightful plot with the landscaped gardens and orchard extending to 3.25 acres with an adjoining 5.25 acre paddock and substantial range of outbuildings including a double height barn, stabling and an Atcost building. The property provides ready to move into accommodation yet offers immense scope and further potential to extend the accommodation into the connecting barns and would make an ideal equestrian property with the generous land offering. The principal home has a wealth of original charm and character with exposed beams, open fireplaces, panelled latch doors and flagstone flooring. The entrance hall leads to two formal reception rooms, beyond which is a quality hand crafted breakfast kitchen and large utility/boot room. Beyond the kitchen is an attractive dining room with vaulted ceiling, an inner hallway, large home office and WC. Upstairs is accessed via two staircases, where there are five sizeable bedrooms with the main bedroom having an en-suite WC and a luxury refitted family bathroom. Connected to the main home is a range of stone barns providing storage but offering potential to be incorporated within the main home with planning permission passed and enacted for their conversion. The current outbuildings consist of a double height barn, two stables, a converted games room and garaging. Complementing the main home is a beautifully landscaped garden with central patio terrace and a lawn which gently slopes down to the River Chater. A footbridge crosses over the river leading to a spinney. Adjacent to the property is a 2 acre orchard planted with a large variety of fruit trees. All in, the plot totals 8.5 acres. In addition to Brook Farm, there is an option to purchase Chater Barn, a three bedroom barn conversion set in 3 acres at a combined Guide Price of £2,500,000.
