General Description - Alexanders are privileged with instruction to market this exceptional Grade II listed detached cottage that has been lovingly restored and modernised set in the heart of the revered Charnwood village of Quorn. The property is believed to date back to circa 1658 as be one of the very first dwellings in the village and is heaped in character throughout with an abundance of features including exposed beams, stone and brickwork, and sliding sash windows. The characterful feel is supported by light and airy open-plan living areas and well-proportioned rooms providing plenty of space for family living.
Expect to find 3,000 sq ft of impressive living accommodation in this home of particular quality and merit. The ground floor is all underfloor heated through a wet piped system, and the property is serviced by mains gas, electricity and drainage. The walled gardens to the rear offer good privacy, and there is a gravel driveway with electrically operable timber gate to the front.
Situation - The property is just a short walk away from the centre of the highly regarded settlement of Quorn, lying between Leicester and Loughborough; the shops, facilities and entertainment on offer take some beating for a village; so does its convenience. There is easy travel between the town, city and the lovely Charnwood countryside, easy access to respected private schools plus high quality state schools and rapid access to London in approx. one hour and twenty minutes by train from Loughborough. The renowned Loughborough Endowed schools and Ratcliffe College are also within easy reach.
The White House - In brief, the living accommodation is laid over three floors comprising: entrance hall, formal sitting room with open fire, an open-plan kitchen and living space that leads in turn to a snug/play room and dining area with direct garden access. The kitchen is fitted to an excellent quality with in frame shaker style units, granite work surfaces and integrated appliances including a wine fridge. Of particular note is the original fireplace with wood burning stove inset and stove to the side, and the glazed original well in the dining/garden room.
Upstairs and accessed from a spacious and character filled landings are a collection of double bedrooms, the principal suite boasting en-suite shower room and two wardrobes. There are a further three characterful double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Stairs rise into the second floor where you will find flexible accommodation that would serve excellently as accommodation for teenage children, a nanny, or as a superb master bedroom suite with bathroom and dressing room. The property must be seen to fully appreciate the quality of the renovation works.
