About
Positioned prominently on Swithland Lane in the ever-desirable village of Rothley, Fairview is a substantial detached residence and is a home of real presence and character.
Standing proudly opposite the heritage steam railway line, the property immediately captures the imagination, offering a rare blend of period charm, generous proportions and an exceptional lifestyle setting.
From the outset, the home makes a striking impression.
A stained glass entrance door opens into a welcoming porch, which in turn leads through to a spacious and elegant hallway, a fitting introduction to the accommodation beyond.
Throughout the property, a wealth of original features have been carefully preserved, including pine internal doors, leaded and stained glass windows, stripped wood flooring, deep skirtings, picture rails and decorative cornicing, all combining to create a home rich in warmth and authenticity.
The ground floor offers an abundance of versatile living space, perfectly suited to both family life and entertaining.
The formal lounge is a beautifully balanced room, centred around a feature stone fireplace with log burner, flanked by twin windows and complemented by a bay with patio doors opening onto the rear garden.
The formal dining room mirrors this elegance, also featuring a stone fireplace and bay patio doors, creating a seamless connection to the outside.
A framed set of the original architects drawings hang on the wall.
A more intimate study or snug sits to the front, complete with a bay window and bespoke fitted bookshelves, an ideal retreat for quieter moments or home working.
Meanwhile, the art studio / office provides something truly special, with its vaulted ceiling, Velux windows and direct access onto a private decked area, offering a creative and inspiring space flooded with natural light.
At the heart of the home lies the impressive living dining kitchen, thoughtfully designed and well maintained.
Granite worktops, integrated appliances and ample room for a family dining table make this a sociable and practical hub.
The vaulted ceiling with inset lighting and Velux windows enhances the sense of space, while a stable door provides easy access to the garden.
A separate utility room adds further convenience, along with a neatly positioned ground floor WC. Upstairs, the sense of scale continues.
A charming half landing features a striking stained glass window, casting coloured light across the space. The first floor hosts four generous double bedrooms, each offering excellent proportions.
The principal suite is particularly noteworthy, enjoying a bay window with views to the rear, extensive built-in storage, and a luxurious en-suite complete with freestanding bath, walk-in shower and twin vanity sinks.
The remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom of equal quality and style. Externally, the property truly excels.
The rear garden is a standout feature, expansive, mature and thoughtfully arranged.
A large flagstone patio provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, leading onto a sweeping lawn divided into distinct seating areas, all framed by established hedging and planting.
At the far end, the garden overlooks and adjoins a neighbouring field, currently home to grazing sheep, offering a rare and idyllic backdrop that enhances the sense of countryside living, a view that is understood to be protected by being the site of a former Roman villa.
For keen vegetable growers, a green house, potting shed and raised beds are ready for the season.
A substantial garden/games room with power and lighting adds further flexibility, ideal for entertaining, hobbies or teenage space.
To the front, a gated driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, reinforcing the home’s practicality alongside its charm. The location is equally compelling.
Rothley is a highly regarded village known for its strong community feel, excellent schooling and picturesque surroundings.
A range of local amenities, including independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs, are all within easy reach, while more extensive facilities can be found nearby in Loughborough and Leicester.
The village is well placed for commuters, offering convenient access to major road links including the A6 and M1, as well as rail services from Loughborough with direct routes to London St Pancras.
Homes of this calibre, combining character, space and such a unique setting, are seldom available. This is a property that offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle to be enjoyed.
