About
This impressive five-bedroom detached house occupies a prime position on the prestigious Sketchley Lane in Burbage, presenting a superb opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in a highly sought-after semi-rural setting.
Set on an approximately 0.25-acre plot with an expansive frontage, the property offers a wealth of potential for further extension or reconfiguration (subject to planning permission), making it an ideal choice for those seeking to create a bespoke residence within one of the area's most desirable addresses.
While the home has been well-maintained, it now requires a comprehensive programme of modernisation throughout to align its generous proportions with contemporary standards.
The spacious accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to versatile reception rooms that provide a solid foundation for updated, open-plan living.
The kitchen and bathroom facilities are functional but offer a clear canvas for full replacement and expansion according to personal preference.
Upstairs, five well-sized bedrooms provide comfortable sleeping arrangements, with the principal suite offering ample scope for the addition of a modern en-suite or dressing area.
A particular highlight is the large garage and workshop area, perfect for those requiring substantial storage or workspace.
The property's location on Sketchley Lane ensures a peaceful residential atmosphere while remaining within walking distance of the highly regarded Sketchley Hill Primary School and the amenities of Burbage village.
Residents also benefit from the nearby Sketchley Grange Hotel and Spa for leisure facilities, as well as superb access to the A5 and M69 for commuting to Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingham.
Offered with no onward chain, this property represents a rare chance to secure a home of genuine scale and future potential in a premier Hinckley location, with early viewing essential to appreciate the extent of the modernisation required and the possibilities on offer.
EPC Rating: E Garden The rear garden occupies a significant portion of the 0.25-acre plot and provides a private, secluded environment bordered by mature trees and hedging.
The scale of the garden easily allows for a substantial rear extension, subject to planning, while still retaining a large outdoor area for family use.
Parking - Off street The substantial frontage features a tarmacadam driveway and lawned area with a mature Magnolia tree.
There is currently parking for several vehicles, with significant scope to create additional spaces if required. Parking - Double garage
