A Rare Opportunity on the Sought-After Mill Lane – Exceptional 5-Bedroom Detached Home with Direct River Soar Frontage

Tucked away at the very end of a private driveway, in one of the most exclusive and peaceful positions in Barrow Upon Soar, this remarkable five-bedroom detached family residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home in an idyllic riverside setting. With direct frontage onto the River Soar and expansive, private gardens that are simply unmatched in both scale and seclusion, this is a property that delivers on location, lifestyle, and space in equal measure.

Set on a vast plot with mature trees, hedges and shrubs creating a beautifully green, non-overlooked environment, the home is approached via a generous driveway offering ample off-road parking for numerous vehicles, in addition to a detached double garage.

The interior is equally impressive, offering an abundance of living space spread across two floors. You enter through a welcoming entrance porch which opens into a grand central hallway — a true statement of the home’s scale and elegance, complete with a sweeping staircase at its heart.

To the ground floor, the accommodation flows seamlessly and includes a spacious breakfast kitchen with built-in appliances and French doors opening directly onto the rear patio — perfect for summer dining and entertaining. A separate utility room adds practicality to family living.

There are three generously proportioned reception rooms: a huge main living room at the rear with a fireplace and beautiful garden views; a large side-facing reception room ideal as a formal lounge or dining space; and an impressive multi-purpose room so large it could easily accommodate a snooker table — a rare feature that truly sets this home apart.

Also on the ground floor are three bedrooms, including a principal suite with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, a second double bedroom also with fitted storage, and a third sizeable bedroom suitable as a guest room, office, or nursery. A downstairs WC and ample built-in storage further enhance the practicality of the home.

To the first floor, you’ll discover two further substantial double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom including full-sized baths — ideal for guests or growing families. One of these bedrooms boasts an exceptionally rare feature: its very own private sauna, offering a touch of luxury wellness at home. The grand galleried landing is another standout feature, offering both light and space, with potential as a study or reading area. In addition, there is a large boarded-out storage room, which could easily be repurposed as a home office, playroom or even a dressing room, subject to personal preference.

The real magic, however, lies outside. Few properties offer such a commanding position backing directly onto the River Soar, with unbroken views and peaceful waterside enjoyment just steps from your garden. Whether it’s fishing, boating, or simply relaxing with a morning coffee while watching the river flow, this location is truly one-of-a-kind.
