Description

SOMETHING THAT EXTRA BIT SPECIAL - Seen as a rare addition to the market, Rose Cottage Farm is an impressive, characterful, spacious property set over approximately 1 and a quarter acres. It benefits from a rural yet convenient, Leicester Forest West setting and offers beautiful gardens with field views, a paddock, it's own private tennis court, a separate annexe as well as a double garage and an array of outbuildings and workshops.

This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a plot with outstanding potential, in a location where properties don't come up often. The property benefits from a large paddock, a barn and numerous outbuildings which make it ideal for equestrian use but the property could also appeal to those with large or extended families looking for something to make a forever home!

The entrance to Rose Cottage Farm can be found directly off the A47 and features a lovely private drive with mature trees leading to parking space for multiple vehicles. The outside space on offer is vast, featuring a paddock, it's own private tennis court which does require some maintenance, and lots of garden space for all the family to enjoy.

The plot offers an impressive range of outbuildings including a barn, workshop, a large games room/bar, a double garage with store room and, if all this isn't enough, the site also holds a separate one bedroom annexe with an open plan kitchen and living area downstairs, and bedroom and bathroom upstairs.

The main cottage itself benefits from five double bedrooms including a master bedrooms with an en-suite and private balcony. There's also a further store room which could be utilised as a sixth bedroom if required. In addition to the en-suite the first floor hosts two further three-piece shower rooms - ideal for a family negotiating those busy weekday mornings!

Downstairs accommodation offers a large through lounge-dining area and a country farmhouse kitchen with more dining space if required. There's an extensive hall space off of which you'll find a second lounge with French doors opening out to field views and a home office/study. This extensive cottage also offers plenty of utility space and a WC rounds off the ground floor accommodation.

Rose Cottage Farm occupies a superb position just off the A47 in the popular area of Leicester Forest West. The property enjoys a peaceful setting with field views, and the location benefits from easy access into Leicester City Centre, Hinckley in the opposite direction, Fosse Park close by for all your shopping and restaurant essentials, and is also in close proximity to the M1 and M69, providing easy transport links.
