HAWKSWORTH PLACE Hawksworth Place is an exquisite period house set in extensive sheltered gardens and grounds (3.10 acres or thereabouts) in a small unspoilt Conservation village, acknowledged by many to be one of the best villages in the Vale of Belvoir. The house which stands in a remarkable setting reflects the classical architecture of the Regency period (1820) and has a really special ambience which only the passage of time can give to a house. The extensive gardens and grounds which have been managed to a high standard offer a good degree of privacy and a superb setting for the house. A relatives annex in the south wing offers the potential for extending the main accommodation of the house and in turn, the coach-house garaging and stabling facilities are valuable assets. If you have been searching in vain for that special country house in a setting which could arguably be described as second to none, a house which has retained its inherent period charm, whilst having scope for the creation of a first class home in the Vale of Belvoir; we feel you need look no further.
