Penn Lane, Stathern

Price reduced to a guide of £875,000. A beautifully appointed barn conversion approaching 3,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation, tucked away behind a gated driveway in the very heart of the highly regarded Vale of Belvoir village of Stathern, with generous private gardens and far-reaching views over open countryside to the rear.
Honeysuckle House is an exceptional detached home that combines the charm and character of a barn conversion with high-quality contemporary finishes and wonderfully light, open living spaces. The property has been thoughtfully designed around modern family life, with impressive proportions throughout, extensive glazing and a seamless connection to the surrounding gardens.
The setting is a rare one. Set back from Penn Lane behind a five-bar electric gate, the property enjoys all the convenience and community of a central village position while remaining remarkably private and secluded. The gravelled driveway is owned by Honeysuckle House and serves only one further dwelling to the rear, giving the home a quiet, tucked-away feel with the reassurance of a well-established neighbouring property beyond; a combination of privacy, security and companionship that is seldom found in a village centre.
At the heart of the home is the stunning open-plan living kitchen, with vaulted ceilings, exposed timber trusses, a substantial central island and ample space for both dining and relaxed seating. Full-height glazing and multiple sets of doors flood the room with natural light while connecting it effortlessly to the gardens and entertaining terraces beyond.
Complementing the open-plan space is a magnificent sitting room with a substantial exposed stone fireplace and inset woodburning stove, creating a warm and inviting reception room ideal for both family living and entertaining. A separate study/fourth bedroom offers excellent flexibility for home working or ground-floor accommodation, if required. The ground floor is further served by a useful utility room, wet room, cloakroom/WC and plant room.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, enjoying extensive fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom. Two further generous double bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities, complete excellent accommodation for families or guests.
Outside, the gated driveway leads to a carport and detached workshop/store. The gardens are a real feature of the home and enjoy a high degree of privacy, predominantly laid to lawn and framed by established boundaries, with extensive fruit trees, productive vegetable gardens, a charming summerhouse and a variety of seating areas, including a terrace that catches the evening sun and looks out over the fields beyond. The property benefits from an impressive EPC rating of 76/79.
Stathern remains one of the Vale of Belvoir’s most sought-after villages, offering a strong sense of community, a well-regarded public house and excellent access to Melton Mowbray, Grantham and Nottingham, together with mainline rail services from nearby Grantham into London King’s Cross.
