Set within one of Charnwood Forest’s most unspoilt settings, Oaks Farm Cottage is a home that belongs to its landscape. More than 200 years old and surrounded by approximately 2.5 acres of gardens, orchard, paddock and mature grounds, it carries the character, substance and sense of place that can only come with time.
This is not a home defined by a single statement room. It is a house of choices. Rooms to come together in, rooms to retreat to and space that can change as family life does. The dining room sits at its heart, full of exposed beams and original character, and naturally lends itself to long family lunches, celebrations and evenings with friends. Alongside it, the kitchen offers the opportunity to keep the charm of the existing layout or, subject to the necessary consents, create a more open connection between cooking, dining and entertaining.
The rest of the ground floor unfolds in the same way. A family room, sitting room, living room and conservatory each bring something different to daily life, whether that is a quiet morning coffee, children spreading out after school or everyone coming together at the end of the day. The house is generous without feeling formal, traditional without feeling fixed and characterful without asking you to compromise how you want to live.
Upstairs, three bedrooms include a principal room with its own shower room, alongside a family bathroom. Downstairs, the practical space is properly thought through too, with a utility room, further laundry room, extensive storage and a double garage. It is a home that gives you the romance of a period country property, with the everyday functionality a modern family needs.
Outside, the grounds take the experience to another level. The gardens are established and secluded, the orchard adds another layer of charm and the paddock opens up a whole different way of living. There is room for children to roam, dogs to run, summer gatherings to spill outdoors and for you to enjoy the simple luxury of having genuine space around you.
The courtyard and former farm buildings are just as much a part of the story. With two stables, a tack room and useful outbuildings, the property already has real equestrian and practical appeal. For some, that will be exactly the lifestyle they have been searching for. For others, these buildings and the scale of the grounds are the canvas for something more personal, from hobbies and storage to a different ancillary use, subject to the necessary permissions.
Crucially, this is a period home free from Grade listing and offered with no onward chain. That gives its next custodians a rare starting point. You can enjoy the home exactly as it is, update it sensitively over time, extend it, rework the layout or, subject to planning permission, explore a completely new replacement home that makes the most of this exceptional setting.
Oaks Farm Cottage is not about choosing between history and possibility. It gives you both. A home with roots, land and character already in place, alongside the freedom to decide what its next 200 years might look like.
