General Description
Alexanders of Melton Mowbray offer to the market with no upward chain The Leys, a substantial period property exuding charm and character which notably we are to believe is unlisted and dates back circa 200 years.
The property has been owned by its current owners for over 20 years with the main house offering (over three floors) two reception rooms, five bedrooms, two bathrooms and cellarage. The property is situated prominently on the main street in the heart of this hugely desirable, charming Wreake Valley village.
The property is ripe for internal and external improvement allowing its next owner to finish to their own taste and style, taking full advantage of its unlisted status albeit the property does lie within the conservation area of the village.
Externally the property is adjacent to The Bluebell Inn and has its own driveway accessed under an archway which connects the house and garaging. To the rear of the property are an impressive range of outbuildings including a two-storey barn which has been used by the vendor for storage and would lend itself to either conversion for additional residential accommodation and/or commercial usage subject to any consents that may be required.
Discreetly to the rear, and an especially endearing feature is a secret lawned garden enjoying a south easterly aspect from which elevated, far reaching views across the Wreake Valley can be enjoyed.
