High Street, Barrow Upon Soar
£450,000
5 Bedroom House - Detached
A rare and highly versatile village-centre opportunity - substantial period home, separate Coach House and income-generating commercial unit
Positioned prominently in the very heart of Barrow upon Soar, this truly unique and individually designed four-bedroom detached home offers an exceptional blend of lifestyle and investment. Set behind private gates on a generous plot, the property also includes a self-contained Coach House and a commercial unit fronting directly onto the High Street - both currently let and generating a combined annual income of approximately £16,200.
Having remained in the same family ownership for over 50 years, the property is well known locally as the former home of A.J. Hubbard Family Butchers, and carries both historical significance and a wealth of character throughout. Dating back to pre-1840, it presents a rare opportunity for a variety of buyers, whether you’re looking to run a business from home, generate additional income, or explore longer-term potential (subject to the necessary permissions).
The main residence offers spacious and well-balanced accommodation, centred around a large and characterful dining kitchen complete with a feature Aga, forming the natural hub of the home. From here, the layout flows into a formal living room with exposed beams and fireplace, as well as a bright garden room with log burner and direct access out to the courtyard. A substantial utility room, complete with a walk-in cold store, sits to the rear alongside a guest WC and cloakroom, with further access into the double garage. The house is full of personality, with thoughtful details such as hidden doors, bespoke joinery and stained glass features adding to its individuality.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal suite with its own en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious and characterful family bathroom, and one of the rear rooms provides direct access out onto a private roof terrace - a standout feature and ideal space for outdoor entertaining.
The Coach House is fully self-contained and arranged over two floors, with its own private entrance from the courtyard. It provides a well-laid-out one-bedroom living space including a kitchen/diner, separate living room and bathroom, and is currently let, offering a reliable secondary income stream.
To the front of the property, the commercial unit occupies a prominent High Street position and benefits from its own independent access. Currently operated as a successful hair salon, it includes a kitchenette and WC facilities and has a long-established history of commercial use within the village.
Externally, the property is approached via double wrought iron gates which open into a large block-paved courtyard, providing ample off-street parking and access to a substantial double garage. Above, the elevated roof terrace offers a private and versatile outdoor space, enjoying a sunny aspect and accessible both internally and via an external staircase.
Barrow upon Soar is a highly regarded village, ideally positioned between Leicester and Loughborough, offering a strong sense of community alongside a wide range of local amenities, schooling and public houses. The area benefits from excellent transport links via the A6, A46 and M1, as well as a railway station within the village providing direct connections to Leicester and Loughborough, and onward links to London St Pancras.
A property of this nature - combining home, income and long-term potential in such a central village position - is rarely available. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate the scale, character and flexibility on offer.
