Position, Setting & Plot - The property occupies a fantastic, well proportioned, established plot which, in its current layout, provides gardens to four sides set back from the lane behind a picket fenced frontage with leylandii hedging and adjacent driveway providing off road car standing for numerous vehicles. We understand from the vendors, located within the frontage is a freshwater well.
The gardens lie to all sides, the predominance being to the southerly aspect being mainly laid to lawn with well stocked perimeter borders having an abundance of trees and shrubs. The property does however benefit from planning permission granted to split the garden, creating a building plot at the foot with a proposal for a single storey, contemporary dwelling with access on the easterly side leading off Station Road. Even with the building completed, this will still leave a relatively generous garden by modern standards for the original dwelling and clearly suggests the considerable potential of the site.

Outside - Rear - The gardens lie to all sides, the predominance being to the southerly aspect being mainly laid to lawn with well stocked perimeter borders having an abundance of trees and shrubs. The property does however benefit from planning permission granted to split the garden, creating a building plot at the foot with a proposal for a single storey, contemporary dwelling with access on the easterly side leading off Station Road. Even with this completed this will still leave a relatively generous garden by modern standards for the original dwelling and clearly suggests the considerable potential of the site.
In addition to the main dwelling, the property has planning approval granted in October 2024 by Melton Borough Council under application number 24/00543/FUL for an interesting, self build, detached, single storey home designed with very much a contemporary look to create an individual property which, under the current plans, would extend to around 1,000 sq.ft. Although this may offer potential for a future purchaser to split the site it could also be opened up to a wider market, possibly for families with dependent relatives, or extended families, who may look to amalgamate the site, making use of both the main period home as well as the planning approval at the rear.
Further details can be found on Melton Borough Council's planning portal under the above application.
