School Lane, Rempstone

Smiths Property Experts offer to the market this fine Georgian detached home nestled in peaceful and private grounds extending to approximately 2/3 of an acre with countryside views to the rear. The property has been in the same ownership for more than 40 years and offers a rare opportunity for the eventual purchaser to acquire a period and generous family home.

‘Old House’ occupies an almost hidden position at the top of School Lane. Both peaceful and private, the grounds are gated and have a generous driveway leading to a large, oversized double garage with attached home office facilities measuring approximately 639 square feet. The grounds are nothing short of impressive. With a Westerly aspect, the main lawns are flanked by fully stocked and mature borders and beds. There are pretty seating areas, an established collection of trees, and an area for a working garden and vegetable patch should the eventual purchasers wish.

The main house stands proud at the head of the lane behind a mature hedgerow and front gardens. The property is connected to all main services, and the accommodation is as spacious as one would expect from a property of this age and style. The living space is laid over three floors with excellent ceiling heights and original character throughout, including hardwood beams and joinery and an Inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. A working cellar is also accessible from a hatch in the main entrance hall.

In brief, the main house extends to approximately 2,038 square feet (excluding the garage and associated offices). There is an entrance hall and three wonderful reception rooms, namely a sitting room, a dining room, and a day room, off the kitchen, which is fitted in a country ‘shaker’ style. A handy utility room and a separate WC are also accessed from the rear hall. Four large and comfortable bedrooms are upstairs and laid over the first and second floors. To the rear of the first-floor landing is the family bathroom and a separate WC, and one of the bedrooms also boasts an en-suite shower room.

Rempstone is a pretty and historic village settlement on the Leicestershire/Nottinghamshire border. The village boasts a well-regarded pub, village hall, and an excellent community.
