INTRODUCTION

.
Enjoying a feeling of seclusion amongst a small cluster of highly desirable dwellings on the fringe of the much sought after North East Leicestershire village of Barkby in the Charnwood district of the county. Not visible from the road and standing at the end of a long and very private tree-lined driveway off Barkby Road.
Skilfully extended, thoughtfully and beautifully renovated, the current owners have created a superb and surprisingly spacious family home on a generous plot with extensive parking and a large double garage. Barkby is a charming and largely un-spoilt village lying approx. 1.6 miles from neighbouring Syston, 6 miles from Leicester and surrounded by some of the county’s most beautiful countryside. The nearby A46 provides easy access to Nottingham, Melton, Loughborough and the motorway networks whilst the Railway Station in Syston allows travel to Leicester in 8 minutes and onward to London in approx. 1 hour.
Schooling for secondary age children is located in Syston with a choice of schools in the private sector being a short drive away in Ratcliffe and Loughborough.
The Pochin Primary School located with-in the village, enjoys small class sizes and boasts an “Excellent” OFSTED Report at the 2014 visit and a “Good in all areas” in the new rating system in 2025.
