Description
Greenacres occupies a prime, village location and has been a much-loved home. Built in the 1950’s this rare, detached bungalow standing in mature grounds of 0.62 acres requires general modernisation and is available with NO CHAIN. Well positioned on this highly sought after, leafy lane and offering considerable development potential this traditional home with high ceilings throughout offers accommodation to include four reception rooms, kitchen, three double bedrooms and family bathroom. A gated driveway provides ample hardstanding and access to an attached, double garage. The rear gardens which are extremely private are considered a particular feature and within the grounds are a number of specimen trees including several old fruit trees. As such properties are rarely available on the open market, early viewing is strongly recommended.

Greenacres is located on Swithland Lane, an enviable address within the rolling hills of Charnwood. The property itself is located within the Ridgeway Conservation Area approximately 29 minutes’ walk (1.4 miles) from the village centre which offers an impressive range of shops, including coffee shops and several popular pub/restaurants. Local attractions include Swithland Reservoir, Rothley Park Golf Club, The Great Central Steam Railway and historic Bradgate Park.
