3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Ulverscroft Lane, Newtown Linford LE6

Property description
Tucked away along the prestigious Ulverscroft Lane, in the heart of the breathtaking Charnwood Forest, this one-of-a-kind home offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity. With captivating panoramic views across protected woodland and direct access to one of Leicestershire's most beautiful natural landscapes, this is countryside living at its finest, just moments from the highly desirable village of Newtown Linford.
Offered for sale for the first time in its history, this individually designed bungalow rests on a generous 0.66-acre plot, surrounded by neighbouring National Trust land.

Accommodation
Thoughtfully constructed by the current owners, this unique home was built to replace an original woodman's lodge that once stood on the site. Purposefully designed to embrace its natural surroundings, the home sits at the rear of the plot and is positioned to capture uninterrupted views over open countryside and protected woodland, a constant and ever-changing backdrop that brings light, serenity, and wildlife to your doorstep.
Arranged across a single level, the accommodation is warm and welcoming, blending timeless character with practical family living. As you step through the front door, a wide entrance hallway sets the tone, with stripped pine flooring underfoot and natural materials creating a sense of rustic elegance.
At the heart of the home is the stunning main lounge, generously proportioned and filled with natural light. A locally quarried stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove forms a striking focal point, while French doors lead directly to the raised deck, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. This elevated terrace wraps around the rear of the property, offering a beautiful setting for alfresco dining or morning coffee. There is also a generous conservatory off the living room with stunning views over the gardens.
The bespoke kitchen-diner is beautifully finished with quality cabinetry, integrated oven and hob, ideal for entertaining or family life. Large windows offer glorious views over the garden and trees beyond, while an adjacent utility room, and guest WC ensure the space remains functional and family friendly.
The principal bedroom is bright and well-appointed, enjoying a tranquil front aspect and its own private en-suite bathroom including a separate bath and shower. The second double bedroom also enjoys garden views. A third flexible room, currently used as an additional reception or study, could easily serve as a third bedroom, perfect for guests, children, or a home office.
Throughout the home, thoughtful architectural choices create a harmonious blend of comfort and style. The layout lends itself to both everyday living and future remodelling potential, offering a canvas for those who may wish to further personalise or extend the property in line with neighbouring homes (subject to planning).

The Grounds & Outbuildings
Accessed via a private 50m drive, the home is set back from the road, offering peace, seclusion and a real sense of arrival. The beautifully maintained gardens include expansive lawns, a variety of mature trees and shrubs, and enchanting woodland surroundings, a true wildlife haven.
Outbuildings include a substantial triple garage (with electric double door), a timber stable, and a charming summer house. The grounds offer ample space and inspiration for future enhancement or redevelopment (subject to planning permission).

Location
Ulverscroft Lane is one of the county's most sought-after addresses, positioned on the edge of Bradgate Park, an award winning National Nature Reserve known for its rugged beauty, roaming deer and historic ruins. Newtown Linford village, with its community charm and excellent local dining, lies just moments away.
Despite its rural feel, the area is well-connected with easy access to Leicester, Loughborough, and the M1. First-class schooling is available locally, including Ratcliffe College, Loughborough Grammar, and Our Lady's Convent School.
