The property sits in an extensive plot of approximately 1.15 acres with a secluded gateway drive access at the top onto Melton Road itself providing a great deal of privacy from the main road. As one enters the driveway there is a wooded copse to the right hand side owned by the property and reaching the embankment down to the railway line. The garden is particularly extensive with a vast array of shrubs, plants, trees, grassed areas and wonderful views over open countryside. The driveway was due to continue in front of the property itself where there is a derelict field shelter currently on the edge of the plot. There is large former stable/hayloft currently used as workshop and storage space offering outstanding future potential, a garage and an orchard with apple, pear and Syston white plum trees.

The property also sits adjacent to open countryside which the vendor informs us does not have any live planning applications for building on at the moment, but is included in the Charnwood local plan 2021-2037.
