Main Street, Swannington

This wonderful home has been thoughtfully extended and much improved over the recent years to create a bespoke luxury family property. It enjoys a convenient village location, benefits from solar panels and an air source heat pump and unusually has the addition of a very large Grade II listed barn perfect for those seeking workshop space, storage and annexe potential for dependant relatives or even an air BnB.

Designed to offer four bedrooms, the owners during renovation decided to open the fourth bedroom into a walk-in dressing room for bedroom two. This could easily be reinstated if required. There are three very generous double bedrooms in all, two luxury en suites, a family bathroom and a breathtaking principal bedroom which is a real show stopper.

Swannington is a sought-after rural village located five miles east of Ashby-de-la-Zouch and 2 miles from Coalville. Surrounded by countryside it’s great for commuters with access to the M42, M1 and A50 close by, whilst enjoying a great village school, hugely popular Indian restaurant and a good local pub!

The property sits well back from the road with remote double gated access leading to a pavioured frontage providing heaps of parking for every style of vehicle. A look inside the property will reveal a welcoming hallway with a large guest’s cloakroom off. To your left is a fabulous living room, a really spacious room with a warming stylish focal point provided by a wonderful living flame fireplace. Internal bi-fold doors open to connect the room with the adjacent garden/sitting room, an equally impressive living space with twin sets of large bi-fold doors which open out onto the expansive deck with great views over the garden and its wooded backdrop beyond. There is an attractive large tile porcelain floor and this runs through into the adjacent utility room which offers access into the gardens and also into the heart of the home – what a room! Seamlessly combining kitchen, living and dining to one open plan space, this is truly the hub of the home. The contemporary high gloss kitchen is luxuriously appointed with an expansive range of base and wall mounted cabinets with a large central breakfast island providing a wow centre point, all topped with sparkling quartz counters. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, microwave, double oven, induction hob and a fabulous feature floating extractor hood over. There is also a built in full sized fridge and freezer. No space in the kitchen has been wasted and the bay window has a clever fitted window seat to lounge upon.

The dining area has more than enough space for a large table plus an informal seating area and bi-fold doors once again offer you views and access out to the garden.

Upstairs on the first floor the living space is just as lovely and you will find there are three excellent double bedrooms. Attention must be drawn to the principal master suite, a really amazing bedroom with a part vaulted ceiling and inset skylights, picture bi-fold windows with a Juliette balcony overlooking the garden and woods beyond. The dressing area has an expansive range of fitted wardrobes and adjacent is a luxurious en suite with freestanding bath, separate shower, WC and a floating contemporary vanity unit with a large inset wash hand basin.

Bedroom two is a large king sized bedroom with its own private en suite and walk-in wardrobe/dressing area (formerly bedroom four). Bedroom three is another good double and it has access to the principal family bathroom which is well appointed, fully tiled with shower bath having a rainfall shower over, WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

Outside to the rear you will find there is a large decked entertaining area with steps leading down to an extensive lawned garden.

The Barn
What an excellent addition to the property – a large stone Grade II listed barn offering over 2600 sq.ft of addition space to the main house. It has large feature oak entrance doors leading to a garaging area with a twin mezzanine floor over, adjacent workshop and a further large store room with WC, ideal for conversion. Next is the converted open plan kitchen/sitting room which has an en suite shower room and French double doors leading out to the main rear garden making this an ideal area for an annexe. We understand the vendors do have planning permission and plans to alter the mezzanine area, drawings are available for any interested parties.

Agents Note: We understand from the vendor that there was a planning enforcement notice on one section of the gates. We understand the vendor has made the relevant changes as required, but we would advise any interested parties seek verification from their solicitor.
Tenure: Freehold (purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the tenure via their legal representative).
Services: No mains drainage. Septic tank drainage. Air source plus solar and batteries to central heating. Mains water, electricity and gas are believed to be connected to the property but purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to their suitability.
The barn has its own gas and electric suppliers/meters.
