We have pleasure in offering to the market this archetypal double fronted detached cottage which offers a deceptive level of accommodation and over recent years has seen a thoughtful programme of renovation and modernisation.
The property offers a versatile layout with three reception areas and three double bedrooms as well as a wealth of character and features expected with a property of its era. The dwelling is understood to date back to the early 1800s with exposed beams, attractive fireplaces, stripped pine ledge and brace doors with period door furniture and this is tastefully combined with the benefits of modern living with beautifully appointed Shaker style kitchen, modern bath/shower suite, part double glazing and upgraded Worcester Bosch gas central heating boiler.
The property is tastefully decorated throughout in neutral colours creating a light and airy home within this pretty Vale of Belvoir village.
The accommodation comprises an initial storm porch which leads through into a formal dining room with dual aspect and exposed beam ceiling, this links into the adjacent kitchen with walk-in pantry and rear entrance porch. The main sitting room also has a dual aspect with exposed beams and solid fuel stove, there is also the useful addition of a conservatory which provides a further versatile reception space. To the first floor there are three double bedrooms and light and airy bathroom.
The property occupies a delightful corner plot offering a high degree of privacy and is well stocked with an abundance of trees and shrubs with brick and pantiled outbuilding which provides a useful workshop/utility space with gardener's wc. There is a driveway providing off road parking and a garage/workshop which has an attic space in the eaves which could be utilised as an occasional office space.
Overall this is a delightful period home and viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
