This is one of those cottages that just gets better and better the more you explore it.
Located in the sought-after village of Bitteswell in Leicestershire, you can see the care and attention that has gone into West End Cottage from the moment you cross the threshold.
The timber front door of the house, which sits between two larger properties, opens into a sitting room with engineered wooden flooring and a beautiful open fireplace with a tiled hearth and cast iron inset with a decorative surround.
Beyond is the kitchen, which has been lovingly updated by the current owners and includes the stairs which rise to the first-floor landing with a gorgeous beamed wall to the right.

The good-sized master bedroom features built in wooden wardrobes and a window to the front of the house overlooking the village green.
The partially tiled bathroom has a fitted shower and the second bedroom to the rear looks out over the garden.
It is here the property really comes into its own, with a garden room connected to the kitchen leading to the outside patio.
The landscaped garden is enclosed by a detailed red-brick wall and timber fence to the rear elevation and has two paved seating areas, allowing you to catch the sun throughout the day, as well as a shaped lawn area.
To call West End Cottage merely ‘charming’ does it a disservice.
