Bespoke Dormer Home on Outstanding 0.8-Acre Plot with Orchard and Huge Potential
Set upon a remarkable plot extending to approximately 0.8 acres, this individually designed dormer home enjoys a deep frontage, expansive rear gardens, and its own orchard. With heaps of potential for extension, alteration, or redevelopment (subject to planning permission), it offers a rare opportunity in a highly desirable setting.

Located in the highly regarded and accessible village of Swannington, this property enjoys an excellent position at the heart of the community. The village offers a superb range of amenities, including the well-regarded Swannington Church of England Primary School, the historic St George’s Parish Church (established in 1825), frequent public transport links, and an abundance of scenic country walks. Perfectly situated between the market towns of Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Coalville, residents benefit from a wide choice of schools, recreational facilities, and employment opportunities. The village also boasts excellent transport connections, with major cities such as Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester close by. The M42 provides direct access to Tamworth and Birmingham, while Junction 24 of the M1 ensures swift national travel. East Midlands and Birmingham airports are both within a 30-minute drive, and the surrounding Charnwood countryside offers a wealth of natural beauty to explore.

Accommodation – A UPVC entrance door, framed to one side by a picture UPVC double-glazed window, opens into the entrance porch. From here, a step up leads into the main reception hallway, where an open staircase rises to the first floor and doors branch off to the principal rooms.

On the ground floor, the well-proportioned lounge features an open fireplace with surround, coving to the ceiling, and a wide, almost full-height picture window with wonderful views over the deep front gardens. The lounge flows into the dining room, which has a side window and patio doors opening to the rear gardens. A sliding door connects the dining room to the kitchen, fitted with base and wall-mounted cabinets, a breakfast bar, and a window overlooking the rear gardens. This space offers excellent potential-subject to the usual permissions-to be opened up with the dining room and extended outward, creating a superb social hub. The kitchen also benefits from a useful pantry, and a rear hall provides direct access to outside.

Two versatile ground-floor bedrooms could alternatively serve as additional reception rooms. The modern wet-room style shower room features a WC, wash hand basin, shower area, ladder radiator, and full-height wall tiling.
Upstairs, there are two further double bedrooms. The principal bedroom, to the front, is a generously sized L-shaped room with fitted wardrobes, a vanity unit with inset wash basin, and a striking glazed gable window with views across the street to woodland. The second bedroom enjoys rear-facing views over the gardens, orchard, and open fields beyond. Both bedrooms are served by a bathroom with panelled bath and telephone-style mixer shower tap, wash hand basin, WC, half-height tiling, radiator, and access to eaves storage.

Outside, a useful boiler room/utility/gardener’s WC is accompanied by a range of outbuildings and a large workshop with vehicular access-perfect for tradespeople. The property’s deep frontage includes shaped lawns and an extensive driveway, with side gated vehicular access to the rear for further secure parking. The single garage features an electric up-and-over door, lighting, power, and a rear garden door.

The rear gardens are laid to lawn and extend out into an abundant Orchard which backs onto fields
