Description

General Description

Smiths Property Experts offer to the market this exciting opportunity to create your own home in grounds extending to approximately 3 acres, including paddock land, in the well-regarded Midlands village settlement of Nailstone. This is a building plot set in a private location, with two driveway accesses, and 2.75 acres of grazing paddock land to the rear.

Detailed planning consent has been granted for the erection of a substantial village home of approx. 3,300 square feet, with the addition of a double garage measuring approx. 450 square feet. The plans include provision for four double bedrooms, four bathrooms, and three reception rooms, including a study, a sitting room, and a stunning open-plan living kitchen with views across private gardens and paddock land. There is also provision for a downstairs WC, a utility room, and a boot room.

The property will benefit from a shared formal driveway leading to the front. There is also a secondary private driveway from the A447, with access to the rear and paddock land behind. The property will benefit from generous gardens to the rear, a private parking area to the front, and its own paddocks ideal for small equine usage or similar, safeguarding the countryside views to the rear of the new dwelling.

Planning

Local Authority: Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council. Reference number 23/00518/FUL.

Services and Provisions

There is a former barn on the site that is also to be developed. Provisions for services, driveway installation, and the construction of the adjoining garages are to be negotiated between the purchaser and seller as part of the agreement of sale, before legal work proceeds. It is expected that mains water, drainage, and electricity will be required to develop both properties, and these costs will be shared cost-effectively between the two owners. Agent note: There is an option for the purchaser to contract with the seller, a local construction firm, to complete the build-to-shell and second fix, should they wish.

The Location

Nailstone lies on the border of Leicestershire and Warwickshire, just 3 miles from the historic and highly regarded market charter town of Market Bosworth. Whilst a peaceful setting, there is excellent commuter access to Leicester, Loughborough, Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Derby. There are numerous countryside walks on the doorstep, and excellent hacking available locally for anyone with small equine requirements.

Distances

Market Bosworth 4 miles, Loughborough 12 miles, Nottingham 28 miles, and Birmingham 33 miles.

Dixie Grammar School 3 miles, Twycross House School 7 miles, and Loughborough Endowed Schools 12 miles.

Nuneaton Train Station 13 miles (Nuneaton to London via rail from 59 minutes), and East Midlands Airport 14 miles, (distances and timings are approximate).
