WYMESWOLD

Wymeswold is a well serviced and popular village convenient for commuting to the surrounding centres of Nottingham, Loughborough, Melton Mowbray, Derby and Leicester. Wymeswold is also particularly convenient for fast access to East Midlands Airport and A42/M1 intersection at Kegworth with main line Railway Services at Loughborough and Leicester. The village is largely unspoilt, with a good number of attractive cottages/individual properties, listed period homes and offers typical local facilities including popular pubs/eateries, village primary school, church and shops.

THE PROPERTY

This wonderful home enjoys a distinctly non-estate location and stands well, situated to the corner of East Road and Wysall Lane. The current owners have modernised the property and made many improvements during their eleven years of custodianship, they have imbued the house with a relaxing ambience and both furnishing and decor reflect and honour the historical significance properties such as this hold, being few in number and increasingly difficult to find and indeed purchase.

The house is notable within the village and mentioned by a former resident; Author Ellen Smith in her book 'Seven pennies in my hand' which recounts her Good Friday of 1934 move into the property, then situated on Willoughby Road which latterly became East Road and the family's naming of the house (in a most literal) fashion as Wysall Lane End Farm!
