Description

A substantial detached country home set within approximately 4.3 acres of mature gardens and paddocks, tucked away at the end of a long gated driveway just 1.5 miles from Barrow upon Soar. Offering over 4,000 sq ft, six bedrooms, five reception rooms, detached double garage and exceptional privacy.

Tucked away at the end of a long, tree-lined driveway, Barrowfield House occupies one of the most private settings in Barrow upon Soar. Surrounded by approximately 4.3 acres of mature gardens, paddocks and open countryside, this substantial detached country home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the space and tranquillity of rural living without sacrificing everyday convenience.

Extending to over 4,000 square feet, the accommodation has been designed around generous proportions and exceptional flexibility. Five reception rooms provide space to entertain, relax, work from home or accommodate multi-generational living, while the layout naturally adapts to the changing needs of family life.

At the heart of the home sits a generous family kitchen, complemented by a separate utility room and dedicated laundry/boot room, making it particularly well suited to country living. For those looking to create a more contemporary layout, there is exciting potential to reconfigure parts of the ground floor to suit modern open-plan living, subject to any necessary consents.

A spacious galleried landing leads to six well-proportioned bedrooms, including two with ensuite facilities, together with a family bathroom and additional shower room. Large windows throughout the home frame views across the surrounding gardens and paddocks, creating a constant connection with the landscape beyond.

Outside, the grounds are every bit as impressive as the house itself. Formal lawns, mature specimen trees and established planting surround the property, while two enclosed paddocks offer excellent flexibility for equestrian pursuits, hobby farming or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with owning land. The long private driveway and established boundaries provide a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find.

An oversized detached double garage is accompanied by a substantial room above, offering excellent potential as a home office, studio, gym or ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.

Despite its peaceful setting, Barrowfield House is only around 1.5 miles from the centre of Barrow upon Soar, one of Leicestershire's most sought-after villages. The village offers an excellent range of amenities including independent shops, cafés, pubs, a supermarket, healthcare facilities and well-regarded schools, while the A6, A46, M1 and nearby rail links provide excellent access to Leicester, Loughborough, Nottingham and beyond.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, Barrowfield House presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country home with land, privacy and enormous potential in one of Leicestershire's most desirable village locations.
