Mill House Farm, Thurcaston, Leicester

Full Description

The property welcomes you through an entrance hall with a cloakroom toilet and garden access, leading further to the main hallway, which connects to the drawing room and a cellar. At the hallway's end, the sitting room awaits, featuring an Inglenook fireplace and fireside storage. The home offers a seamless flow from the dining room to the kitchen, complete with a pantry, butler’s pantry, Belfast sink, butcher block work surfaces, gas range cooker, and a large oven with an extractor. Adjacent is the orangery, with double doors opening to the patio, filling the space with natural light and providing garden access. On the opposite side of the kitchen is a utility room with a separate toilet, Belfast sink, boot room area, and access to the gas boiler and back door.

Upstairs, the first floor boasts a large landing with high ceilings, three spacious double bedrooms, all dual aspect and a single bedroom with built-in storage. There are two bathrooms, both featuring waterfall showers. The master bedroom offers a walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite with a complete bathroom, and a Velux window. Another double bedroom includes a built-in double wardrobe, a separate walk-in linen store, and a hand basin. The family shower room features an airing cupboard, hot water tank, and a separate toilet. The property is well-insulated to ensure warmth in winter and coolness in summer.

Outside, a side gate provides access from the driveway to the formal garden, which includes a private south-facing patio and winding pathways and stone steps through a mature, terraced garden. The garden is secured with a brick wall, mature shrubs, and fencing, creating a safe environment for dogs to roam freely. The property also features multiple sheds, a greenhouse, covered storage areas, bird aviaries, and a large log store. The driveway leads to a collection of outbuildings, a double garage with a workshop roofed in Swithland Slate, and further along, a large timber-framed double garage and workshop with loft storage accessed by stairs. This area also offers additional parking spaces and a gated storage area currently used for trailers. The timber-framed double garage, constructed in 2015, serves as a car storage and workshop but could be repurposed as a home office or annex with the appropriate planning consent.
