The Property

Occupying an enviable position within the heart of Tugby, Vane House is a distinguished country house, Listed Grade II, set within beautifully established gardens with adjoining paddock land. Rich in character and history, the house offers over 4,500 sq ft of elegant accommodation, presenting a rare opportunity to create an exceptional family home in one of east Leicestershire’s most desirable village settings.
At the heart of the home, a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms offers a balance of elegance and comfort. The drawing room is ideal for entertaining, while the sitting room, centred around a magnificent inglenook fireplace, provides a more intimate retreat—its generous proportions and period detailing creating a wonderfully atmospheric space to enjoy through the seasons. Beyond, the kitchen and dining room forms the social hub of the house, offering an excellent foundation for modern family life and opening naturally onto the gardens.

Arranged across three floors, the accommodation includes five generous bedrooms, a principal suite with dressing room and a variety of versatile living spaces. While beautifully maintained, the house also offers exciting scope for a new owner to thoughtfully update and reinterpret the interiors, creating a home tailored to contemporary living while respecting its architectural heritage.

Vane House offers not only immediate enjoyment, but the rare opportunity to shape its next chapter.

Outside

The gardens are a defining feature of Vane House, extending gracefully around the house to create a wonderfully private setting. Sweeping lawns, mature trees and established planting nestle around the large terrace which adjoins the house and offers a fabulous outdoor dining and entertaining area.

Beyond the formal gardens, adjoining paddock land enhances both the outlook and the lifestyle on offer, opening the landscape and creating a wonderful sense of space. Whether retained as open meadow, adapted for equestrian pursuits or simply enjoyed as part of the setting, it is a rare asset that complements the house beautifully.
Together with the house, they present an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a country residence of genuine character, ready to be enjoyed and thoughtfully evolved for years to come.
