ON THE EDGE OF TOWN
T HIS stunning Grade II listed property represents, perhaps a once in a lifetime chance, to purchase a substantial period property on the fringe of Loughborough - set within just over four acres of private grounds, including formal gardens of approximately one acre.
Moat House, Bramcote Road, Loughborough, is on the market with a guide price of £995,000.
The agents for the sale, Moore & York, say the home is of stone construction, enlarged in brick, under a gable-ended Swithland slate roof.
It is believed to be of medieval origin with enlargements and alterations taking place in the 17th and 19th centuries.
The impressive accommodation includes four bedrooms and three reception rooms plus breakfast kitchen and a first floor office.
The breakfast kitchen has oak planked flooring and bespoke fitted cabinets with integrated dishwasher, granite work-surfaces with up-stands and with under-cut Belfast sink, four oven AGA and corner feature original stove with exposed brickwork, additional Baumattic electric hob and the room itself having exposed beams.
The second floor is ripe for conversion which could provide substantial additional living space subject to per- missions. Outside, the property is accessed via way of a long gravelled driveway from Bramcote Road, shared with three adjacent dwellings.
The double garage has twin upand-over doors and windows to the rear plus side access door, plus potential storage within the roof trusses.
The property’s garden plot is approximately one acre - laid in parkland style and this includes a substan- tial lawn which runs around two sides of the property, the lovely courtyard reception area with it’s antique-style paving and walled surround plus a wide variety of shrubs and plants, a principal lawn area and patio ideal for entertaining which overlooks the remainder of the gardens, moat and mature shrubs and trees beyond.
The home also enjoys a further area of just over three acres which is situated to the western side, the space is split approximately equally between grassed ‘paddock/field’ and woodland which then abuts to farmland beyond.
