A rare opportunity in the heart of Castle Donington.
Nestled along the prestigious Park Lane, this detached three-bedroom home occupies an exceptional one-third of an acre plot, surrounded by mature gardens — a true hidden gem in one of the village’s most desirable locations.
Set well back from the road, the property offers enormous potential to create an outstanding family residence. With previous planning permission granted for extensions, it presents the perfect canvas for renovation, expansion, or simply enjoying the peaceful natural surroundings.
Outside, the grounds are nothing short of enchanting — a woodland haven alive with wildlife, where even a pair of resident badgers have made their home at the bottom of the garden. A generous driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles, enhancing both practicality and appeal.
Opportunities like this are rare — a substantial plot, a premium address, and the freedom to shape your dream home in one of Castle Donington’s most sought-after settings.

The large rear garden is arranged in three distinct sections, providing a private and tranquil outdoor space. Mature shrubbery enhances privacy, while the natural layout attracts local wildlife, including resident badgers. The garden offers both versatility and seclusion, making it ideal for relaxation, family activities, or potential landscaping.
During the site assessment, evidence of badger activity was identified within the garden area, including established setts and foraging signs. As badgers and their setts are protected under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992, this presence means the land is not currently suitable for development. Any disturbance, damage, or destruction of an active sett would constitute an offence. Consequently, no construction or groundwork should proceed until appropriate ecological surveys have been completed and guidance from Natural England (or the relevant statutory body) has been sought. Mitigation or relocation measures would require a licensed approach, making development on this land unfeasible at this time.
Although these particulars are thought to be materially correct their accuracy cannot be guaranteed and they do not form part of any contract.
