Brand Hill, Loughborough

Nestled away on a private country estate in the heart of the Charnwood Forest, is this unique, freehold chalet style home offering versatile living whilst enjoying a mature wooded backdrop and far reaching countryside views. In our view this would make the perfect place for professionals seeking a 'hidden retreat' when not working at the office, yet with excellent commuting nearby towards Leicester, Loughborough and beyond. Equally, for those designing an early or semi-retiring lifestyle, then this property has plenty of flexibility for quests to stay along with all the restaurants, pubs and shops located in the heart of the village that you would want on a day-to-day basis.
The front hallway and W.C. are handy but we can imagine entering the property to the rear via a dining room and kitchen which both overlook the stunning rear gardens. The kitchen has a built-in electric double oven, gas hob, extractor and integrated dishwasher. There is also a quality porcelain sink complimented by heritage solid oak worksurfaces all enjoying views over a well planted three tiered garden set in local Swithland stone.
The lounge is square in shape meaning you are likely to use all corners and this is centred around a roaring cast iron log burner ideal for those cosy winter evenings. There is also a stylish wood slat feature wall which could be removed as it was previously, and this would lead through to a sitting room with french doors out into the garden, currently used as a third bedroom.
The master bedroom is the real retreat though, and the only bedroom up on the first floor leaving two bedrooms downstairs for guests. This features its own balcony where a morning cuppa is a must and all while taking in views of your very own mature private garden. There is also a stylish range of fitted sliding wardrobes, storage to the eaves and a stylish en-suite shower room with a double size enclosure with mixer shower and vanity style contemporary suite.
The home is situated within the grounds of Swithland Court, a grand former nursing home converted to tasteful range of apartments. This property is one of only two freehold dwellings tucked away at the top of the grounds with its own driveway for one-two cars and leading to a brick built single garage with automatic roller door, light and power. Outside to the rear you will find generous, beautifully maintained gardens starting at the very rear of the dining room and kitchen where there is a lower patio and covered area, with steps and winding pathway to the upper main lawned garden area. The gardens are simply stunning and also feature a second patio area looking back at the property as well as a large timber built cabin at the very top of the plot which would serve as a great work from home space, summerhouse, artist type studio or even for just an afternoon snooze!
With countryside walks right on your doorstep, you can easily explore the stunning local scenery within the Charnwood Forest whenever you wish. This home is perfect for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat, while still being within easy reach of local shops, amenities and excellent transport links.
