General Description - A unique opportunity to acquire a piece of local history. The superb Grade II listed East Lodge was constructed as the Gate House for The Park in 1885 by Charles Tollemache Scott upon his purchase of the Bosworth Estate from the Dixie period. The property has undergone a schedule of sympathetic aesthetic upgrading by the current vendors, who have acquired extra grounds that now total circa half an acre of formal gardens laid mainly to lawn with unspoilt and superb views across open countryside to the rear and The Park to the front.
The property is positioned at the entrance to The Park, a short walk away from the square in historic Market Bosworth, behind original wrought iron estate railings and a mature holly hedge. Vehicular access is via a driveway to the right hand side, and there are two gated accesses offering plentiful parking. The detached garage has planning permission granted to rebuild into 1.5 storey annexed accommodation, and is currently presented as an office room with kitchenette and shower room.
Internally the property boasts beautiful and character filled living accommodation across two floors with the addition of a usable cellar with 7'0 head height measuring 16'8' x 11'10'. An entrance hall with dog legged staircase gives rise to the first floor landing leading in turn to three good sized bedrooms and a superb four piece family bathroom. There are two character filled reception rooms with a shaker style fully fitted kitchen, utility room area and w.c
