We have pleasure in offering to the market this handsome double fronted period cottage which has recently undergone a significant programme of sympathetic renovation including a substantial two storey addition to the side which combined has created a spacious well thought out family home.
The cottage was originally constructed in 1838 and offers attractive Flemish bond brick elevations with the sympathetic two storey addition to the side and cottage style double glazed windows, behind which lies a thoughtfully modernised well proportioned home offering a great deal of versatility.
The heart of the home is its stunning open plan living/dining kitchen, flooded with light benefitting from windows to three elevations and large enough to accommodate both living and dining areas, open plan to a well appointed Shaker style kitchen with integrated appliances and granite preparation surfaces. The original sitting room offers a more formal reception with pleasant dual aspect, there is a useful utility room and ground floor cloakroom.
To the first floor there are five bedrooms, the master suite located off its own landing area with ensuite facilities, there is also a main family bathroom.
The property benefits from neutral decoration throughout, has oil fired central heating with upgraded boiler and is offered to the market with no upward chain.
The property occupies a delightful corner plot generous by modern standards with gardens to three sides, gated driveway providing considerable off road parking and the main gardens affording a southerly aspect with pleasant views into the village.
Overall this is an excellent opportunity to purchase a well proportioned beautifully appointed individual home within this attractive Vale of Belvoir village setting.
Eastwell lies in the Vale of Belvoir and amenities can be found in the adjacent village of Stathern including primary school and village shop. Further facilities can be found in the nearby market towns of Bingham, Grantham and Melton Mowbray and from Grantham there is a high speed train to King's Cross in just over an hour. The village is also convenient for the A52, A46 and A1.
