Description

A beautifully converted period cottage and contemporary barn extension set within approximately 3 acres of paddocks and grounds, offering an exceptional smallholding lifestyle with stabling, a geodome retreat and outstanding entertaining spaces.

Hidden behind timber gates in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside, Hobby Hall Farm is an exceptional smallholding extending to approximately 3 acres, where a beautifully converted period cottage and striking contemporary barn-style extension combine to create a home unlike any other.

Designed for those seeking space, versatility and a true country lifestyle, the property offers extensive paddocks, stabling, outbuildings, a geodome retreat and a wonderful collection of outdoor spaces, making it perfectly suited to equestrian buyers, hobby farmers or anyone dreaming of a more rural way of life.

Inside, original beams, exposed brickwork and character features blend effortlessly with a stunning contemporary extension centred around an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and family space. Flooded with natural light and opening onto the courtyard, it forms the social heart of the home, while the magnificent vaulted oak-framed barn provides an unforgettable entertaining space.

The flexible accommodation includes a luxurious principal suite, further bedrooms across both floors, multiple bathrooms and reception rooms that adapt beautifully to modern family life, multi-generational living or home working.

Outside, the lifestyle continues. Approximately 3 acres of gardens, paddocks and grounds provide space for horses, livestock and animals, while the stables, secure fencing, orchard, productive vegetable garden and geodome create an environment that's as practical as it is enjoyable.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, Hobby Hall Farm remains exceptionally well connected, with excellent access to Leicester, Loughborough, the M1 motorway and East Midlands Airport.

A truly unique lifestyle property where period character, contemporary living and country life come together in perfect balance.
