Willow House, Exceptional Five-Acre (approx) Plot & Development Potential
A truly rare opportunity to acquire a spacious four-bedroom detached family home set within approximately Five Acres of private grounds, enjoying a south-westerly aspect, beautiful open views and exciting potential for further development, subject to planning.
Set in an enviable rural position within the sought-after Vale of Belvoir, Willow House offers an exceptional combination of generous family accommodation, outstanding grounds and considerable potential for the future.
The property opens into a bright and spacious entrance hall with attractive tiled flooring, useful under-stairs storage, utility room and guest WC. At the rear, the impressive modern kitchen/diner provides a superb social space, fitted with sleek white gloss cabinetry, a central island, integrated appliances and a four-burner gas hob. The kitchen flows into a rear extension currently used as a dining area, where large windows provide wonderful views across the extensive grounds.
The spacious triple-aspect sitting room is another standout feature, offering a bay window to the front, generous lounge area and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden. This creates a fantastic connection with the outside space and is ideal for entertaining or relaxed family living.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with bay window and en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms are positioned to the rear, one benefiting from built-in storage, while the fourth bedroom provides a versatile single room suitable for a child, home office or dressing room. A contemporary four-piece family bathroom completes the first floor.
The grounds are undoubtedly the propertys greatest asset.Extending to approximately five acres, the predominantly lawned grounds are enclosed by mature hedging, providing an excellent degree of privacy and a wonderful sense of space. The rear of the plot includes an open barn and a charming wildflower area planted with young saplings, creating an attractive natural setting.

There may also be an opportunity to explore the provision of an additional dwelling to the western aspect of the plot, subject to the necessary planning permission.
