Property description
Tucked away and set back from the road, this annex style property is a former stable and has been converted to now blend together original features such as exposed beams, with modern finishing touches. Situated on the outskirts of Markfield village, which is nestled between within both the National Forest and Charnwood Forest, this stunning charming character property would make a superb first time buy, 'bolthole', investment or home for a purchaser looking to downsize. Having off road parking to the front and a single garage, access can then be found through an archway to a forecourt, which in turn leads to this property as well as The Gate House, next door. The layout then in brief comprises a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, lounge diner with vaulted ceiling, ground floor bathroom and mezzanine bedroom. Having a low maintenance garden to the rear, which boast stunning views over the Forest, this property is ideally located for swift access to the M1 and A50, as well as being a short drive from Thornton Reservoir and Bradgate Park. ***Realistically priced to attract an early sale, this property may be available to purchase with The Gate House, details of which are available upon request.***
