We have pleasure in offering to the market this fascinating individual detached period cottage which offers a deceptive level of accommodation situated on a fantastic established and generous plot which benefits from a westerly rear aspect and is located a short walking distance to the heart of this highly regarded and well served village.
Understood to have formerly been two cottages the property was later converted into one home and offers a versatile level of accommodation over two floors, comprising initial spacious entrance hall leading through into an attractive sitting room with exposed beams and feature fireplace, open plan living/dining kitchen with snug area and utility off, with small study and cloakroom.
To the first floor there are four bedrooms and bathroom which all lead off a spacious central landing, currently utilised as a first floor reception area but potentially could be sub-divided to create a further double bedroom.
One of the main features of the property is its stunning established plot which is particularly generous by modern standards. Having initial driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles and leading to a superb rear garden with central lawn, well stocked borders with an abundance of established trees and shrubs, and attractive water feature. The garden has a south to westerly aspect catching most of the day's sun making it an ideal outdoor space. In addition located within the garden is a useful brick built workshop which, subject to consent, could offer scope for creation of additional accommodation possibly as a home office.
Overall this is a wonderful individual home in a central village location with viewing coming highly recommended to appreciate the unique nature of this home.
The village of Bottesford is well equipped with local amenities including primary and secondary schools, a range of local shops, doctors and dentists, several public houses and restaurants, railway station with links to Nottingham and Grantham which gives a fast rail link to London's Kings Cross in just over an hour.
