IF YOU’VE A COOL £1.15M

AN 11-bedroom Georgian house which is home to a boutique hotel and wedding venue has gone on the market.

The refurbishe­d property in High Street, Kegworth, also has a separate three-bedroom cottage on site which is currently used as staff accommodat­ion. This means the Georgian gem has a total of 14 bedrooms on site.

The whole lot, which sits on a plot measuring 4/5th of an acre, could be yours for a cool £1.15 million.

It is being marketed by Alexanders and its agents believe that, with the addition of a residentia­l kitchen, the property could become a “magnificen­t and private family home”.

The property, which boasts a late

Georgian facade and is accessed through wrought iron electric gates, has walled private gardens and a large private driveway.

The main house is spread over three floors with the addition of tanked and operationa­l cellars below.

The 7,000 sq ft of internal accommodat­ion houses a number of restored character features including the original oak staircase, flagstone floors and intricate plaster work.

There are 11 double bedrooms with en suites. There are three main reception areas which include a working bar and newly constructe­d 40ft-long function room.

There is a large commercial kitchen area and newly refurbishe­d guest toilets.

For anyone interested in the residentia­l potential of the property, there is scope to create a contempora­ry family kitchen space in the function room and a snug in the commercial kitchen.

Behind the drive are beautiful walled gardens laid mainly to lawn with a substantia­l “hidden garden” behind and accessed through an archway.

The owners of the business were approached by the Mercury for comment.
