Equestrian property for sale in Melton Mowbray LE14, 5 Bedroom

A rare and exciting opportunity in a semi-rural location on the edge of the Wreake Valley. Conveniently situated between Leicester and Melton Mowbray, Lakeview House has considerable outbuildings and stabling all set within beautiful grounds which extend to just under 6 acres in total. Built as an equestrian property (formerly a National Hunt yard) with staff accommodation, part of the property could be repurposed to create a significant self-contained annexe or guest accommodation (subject to the necessary approvals). The property itself is well appointed, surprisingly spacious with generously proportioned rooms which include a large sitting room with log burner, snug/gaming room, large family kitchen with aga, five double bedrooms and two bathroom/shower rooms. Outbuildings include, the potential annexe accommodation, 14 stables, tack room, utility room and 2 large garages. An all-weather manege (40m x 25m), 5-horse walker and paddock with troughs complete the equestrian facilities. Such opportunities are rarely available and early viewing is highly recommended.
