Historically important home on the market
THE ALMSHOUSE offers a rare opportunity to purchase an historically important property, complimented by Sutton House and located in one of the most highly sought after west Leicestershire villages.
It is a Grade II listed building originally built in 1612 by Sir William Roberts as a hospital for sick, poor people and endowed it with £30 a year, before it became a private dwelling house.
Accommodation consists of a reception hall, dining room, kitchen/ breakfast room, sitting room, master bedroom with exposed beams, dressing area and ensuite bathroom, family bathroom and two further bedrooms.
The original almshouse also benefits from the adjoining Sutton House.
This is a detached property in its own right and lends itself to be used as either a separate dwelling or as a granny/ teenage annex to the main dwelling.
Part of Sutton House was once used as a successful tea room and both properties also lend themselves to potential alternative uses, subject to permission.
Accommodation consists of kitchen/dining room, sitting room, two bedrooms, one with ensuite, and bathroom.
The annex has a kitchen/sitting room/dining room, bedroom with ensuite, dressing area and bathroom.
Grounds to The Almshouse comprise of a gravelled parking area to the rear which leads to a large lawned area, interspersed with mature trees and a garden pond.
There is a greenhouse and a large outhouse of brick construction, with a tiled roof.
To the rear of Sutton House is a trellised enclosed patio entertaining area.
