Hawthorne Drive, Thornton, Coalville

A beautifully modernised four-bedroom village home occupying an enviable position on the edge of Thornton, with approximately 3.4 acres of land and wonderful countryside views.

The ground floor has been thoughtfully transformed to create an impressive open-plan living space, perfectly suited to modern family life and entertaining. The light-filled accommodation flows effortlessly towards the rear of the property, making the most of the far-reaching views across the gardens and adjoining land. A versatile separate room could be used as a snug, office or play room, a utility area and cloakroom provide additional practicality, while upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, the property offers a truly special lifestyle opportunity. The land has been lovingly developed into a charming mini farm, currently home to chickens, pigs and sheep, alongside established paddocks, an orchard, wildlife-friendly planting and productive growing areas. Mature hedgerows provide shelter and privacy, while a freshwater stream borders the far boundary.

Combining contemporary open-plan living with the space and freedom of a rural smallholding, this is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a family home with land, animals and an idyllic countryside setting, while remaining within easy reach of Leicester and the M1.

Please note that the adjoining land is classified as agricultural, with permitted uses restricted to agricultural and equestrian purposes.

Garden
The landscaped garden provides an attractive transition between the house and adjoining land.
Steps descend from the upper terrace to a further paved seating area, creating a choice of places for outdoor dining and relaxation. A gate opens onto the track leading to the paddock and wider grounds.
Beneath the garden room is a substantial storage area, accessed externally and equipped with electrical sockets. Outdoor power and lighting are also available within the garden.

The Land
The land extends to approximately 3.4 acres in total and slopes gently towards the south west. It is well drained and benefits from good natural shelter provided by established native hedgerows on three sides. A freshwater stream follows the far western boundary.
The grounds have been thoughtfully developed to create a diverse and wildlife-friendly environment. Approximately 350 metres of native hedging have been planted, incorporating species including hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel, dogwood, spindle, guelder rose, dog rose, holly and hornbeam.
Areas of rough grassland are complemented by mown pathways, open spaces and wildflower meadows, creating an attractive and natural landscape to explore and enjoy.
PONY PADDOCK
The pony paddock extends to approximately 1.55 acres and includes a field shelter and an area of hardstanding.
Separate access is available from Beech Drive through a lockable gated entrance and along a private hard-surfaced track, over which we understand the property benefits from a right of way.
ORCHARD AND PRODUCTIVE GARDEN
A small cottage-style productive garden has been created with vegetable, herb and fruit-growing beds. Existing planting includes raspberry canes, gooseberry bushes and rhubarb, along with wildflowers and ornamental grasses.
There is also an aluminium-framed greenhouse, covered log store, garden tool shed and composting area.
The orchard was planted in 2012 and includes eight apple trees, comprising cooking and eating varieties, together with three plum trees, a pear tree and a cherry tree.
SPINNEY AND ESTABLISHED PLANTING
A small spinney of approximately a quarter of an acre was planted in 2011. It contains a carefully selected mixture of native and wildlife-friendly species, including English oak, ash, wild cherry, crab apple, field maple, alder, Scots pine, willow, holly, hazel, dogwood, wild privet, guelder rose and spindle.
Additional specimen trees have been planted throughout the land, including oak, crab apple, weeping willow, white willow, field maple, walnut and Scots pine.
SUMMERHOUSE
An insulated summerhouse has been imaginatively constructed using reclaimed materials and occupies a peaceful clearing within the grounds. The adjoining open area provides a secluded setting for barbecues, outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the natural surroundings.
