An exceptional opportunity to acquire this beautifully renovated and substantially extended farmhouse, occupying an impressive 1-acre plot within the exclusive Home Farm development on the edge of the highly desirable village of Groby.

Set within a peaceful semi-rural location close to the National Forest, this remarkable home perfectly combines timeless period character with sophisticated contemporary living, offering extensive accommodation thoughtfully designed for modern family life.

Arranged across three spacious floors, the property has been meticulously reimagined to maximise natural light, flexibility and practicality, whilst carefully preserving the charm and presence expected of a traditional farmhouse.

The ground floor offers an outstanding range of living accommodation, including three substantial reception rooms providing exceptional versatility for formal entertaining, family living, home working or additional leisure space. A practical utility/boot room caters perfectly to countryside living, while the impressive orangery extension creates a stunning focal point to the home, seamlessly connecting the interior with the surrounding gardens and outdoor space.

At the heart of the property lies the expansive kitchen/living/dining area, intentionally left unfitted to provide purchasers with the rare opportunity to design and install a completely bespoke kitchen tailored to their own style and requirements. Included within the purchase price is a generous £25,000 kitchen allowance, alongside additional allowances for flooring, fitted wardrobes and landscaping, enabling buyers to truly personalise the home.

The upper floors continue to impress, offering five well-proportioned bedrooms, including an exceptional principal suite comprising a spacious double bedroom, large dressing room and luxury en-suite bathroom. A further bedroom also benefits from en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

The top floor provides further highly versatile accommodation, ideal as a home office, study, teenage retreat, games room or additional family living space.

Externally, the property enjoys a commanding position within its generous grounds, offering extensive gardens with potential for a paddock, detached double garage and a substantial driveway providing parking for approximately eight vehicles.

Despite its tranquil countryside surroundings, the property remains exceptionally well connected, with convenient access to the A50, M1 and major Midlands transport routes, making it ideal for commuters seeking rural living without compromise.

This outstanding farmhouse offers a rare combination of scale, luxury, flexibility and lifestyle, presenting buyers with the opportunity to create a truly bespoke countryside home within one of the area’s most desirable settings.
