Description
Nestled within the heart of Appleby Magna and occupying a deceptively large plot extending to just over 1.5 acres, The Old Coach House is an impressive five bedroom detached family home offering far more than first impressions might suggest. Arranged over two floors and extending to in excess of 3,500 sq ft, the internal accommodation provides exceptional versatility and briefly comprises four substantial reception rooms, a spacious dining kitchen, five bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it well suited to both family living and entertaining. Externally, the property further benefits from a separate one-bedroom annexe, expansive wrap-around gardens, and ample off-road parking to the front elevation. An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, setting and flexibility this outstanding home has to offer.
Location - The property is situated within the highly regarded village of Appleby Magna, a sought-after rural location known for its strong sense of community, attractive period homes and surrounding countryside. The village offers a range of local amenities including a primary school, village shop, public houses, church and village hall, while a wider selection of shopping, leisure and secondary schooling is available in nearby Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Tamworth and Swadlincote.
Appleby Magna is particularly well placed for those seeking village living without isolation, enjoying easy access to open countryside and the National Forest, while remaining conveniently connected to major road networks including the A444, A42 and M42.

Accommodation Details - Ground Floor - The property is accessed from the side elevation and leads directly into an impressive entrance hallway with cloakroom WC, utility room and store cupboard off. Doors lead from the hallway to both the left and right, providing access to the ground floor living accommodation. To the left are three of the four main reception rooms, all of which are highly versatile and could be used as formal dining space, a playroom or a home office/study. To the right is a 19ft dual-aspect lounge with double doors opening into the fitted dining kitchen, with both rooms enjoying double opening doors to the garden.
First Floor - Within the entrance hallway, a feature single-flight staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where there is access to all five bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedrooms one and two enjoy far-reaching views over the gardens and grounds, whilst also benefiting from their own en-suite bathrooms. The remaining three bedrooms are all of good size and are served by a three-piece family bathroom.
Outside - From the road, the property opens into a gravelled courtyard providing ample off-road parking. Within the courtyard there is also access to a detached annexe, ideal for additional accommodation or use as a home office. Gated access leads through to the rear, where the gardens extend to a generous lawned area and include a separate tennis court, creating an impressive and private outdoor setting.
The property further benefits from outline planning permission for the erection of an additional dwelling within the grounds (application reference 20/01118/OUT), offering future development potential, subject to the necessary consents.
