This charming and generous cottage would make a superb home for those seeking character, swift commuter access and easy care gardens! WHAT a place this is with fully restored heritage features at every turn...come and take a look!
The property has been has been fully restored with the first part built in 1543 when Henry VIII was on the throne! The second part was added approximately 200 years later – Georgian period, and the final part approximately 100 years after that – Victorian era.
We can imagine the Grade II listed accommodation being of broad appeal from the growing busy family or professional couple seeking an active village community, commuting along the A60 & A46 corridors towards Nottingham, Leicester & Melton Mowbray or indeed retiring couple wanting less garden maintenance yet plenty of space for the visiting family to stay.
Enter from the front into a dining room which features the original exposed brick floor and enjoys a cosy corner with open cast iron tiled Inglenook working fireplace.
The lounge is where we can imagine spending evenings watching television or meeting with friends and this features the original exposed wooden floorboards and a more practical central electric style fireplace with the chimney intact offering the option for fitting a log burner etc.
Leading off the lounge is a study which lends itself to use as a snug or even children's playroom with access outside leading to the driveway and one of two staircases leading up to the first floor. The larger domed cellar is off this room.
You can also enter the home from the driveway into the rear via an entrance lobby leading straight into the kitchen which enjoys beautiful bespoke shaker style range of units with Belfast sink, solid wood and tiled work surfaces, space for a range oven with gas and electric cooker points, central island with wine rack, cast iron log burner and original bread oven. The utility room is also utilised as a large pantry with shelving, and this offers another Belfast sink, various cupboards, plumbing for a washing machine, space for a fridge and freezer.
The bedrooms bring a feeling of a boutique style hotel from the exposed vaulted A framed ceiling beams in the master bedroom to the open style free standing bath in bedroom two right the way through to a Georgian style fireplace in bedroom three and a lovely children's style double bedroom enjoying paddock views to the front.
There are two staircases serving each end of the property whilst the principal shower room is uniquely positioned halfway between the ground and first floors with a large walk in style shower enclosure having a rain style shower head, mixer shower with separate attachment, tiled floor, chrome heated towel radiator and underfloor heating.
The property stands upon a broad plot, instantly appealing to the front with climbing Wisteria and if you're searching for manageable yet pretty gardens to sit out and enjoy with friends and family then look no further! The main garden area for summertime entertaining is situated in the courtyard to the rear and with the detached brick built two storey garden "Gin Bar" right next door, your guests will not want to leave!
The garden studio could also be of great interest to those seeking a separate home office for a small home based business such as beauty therapy etc or indeed a handy workshop.
There is plenty of parking on the gravelled driveway for approximately three to four cars and this is situated at the rear of the property with easy access from here straight in to the kitchen.
