General Description - Alexanders of Market Bosworth are delighted to introduce to the market a wonderful, Grade-II Listed cottage believed to date back to the 18th-Century. The property is located on Station Road in the heart of the beautifully quaint and historic town of Market Bosworth, mere moments from the historic square. The property uniquely provides a gravel driveway with off-road parking for two vehicles and access to a detached garage/workshop, which is a rare and special feature for a period property in this historic and central location. The cottage style gardens are beautifully established and enjoy a south-facing aspect.
The internal accommodation is spacious and airy, supported by well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings. The delightful breakfast room is the heart of the home; with exposed beams to ceiling, Rayburn cooker and beautiful aspect over the courtyard. This leads into the kitchen, and there are two generous front reception rooms; both having feature fireplaces. The property captures the true essence of countryside living with delightful window boxes, climbing roses and charming gardens.
Location - There is a selection of independent shops, and a tempting array of pubs and restaurants found in the town and its neighbouring villages; making for a wonderful rural community with recreational and sporting opportunities abound. The market is held every Wednesday and a popular farmers' market every month. The area is well known for its schooling, including The Dixie Grammar School and The Market Bosworth School, amongst many others. There is a train service from nearby Nuneaton to London Euston taking from 1 hour and 4 minutes, and the A444 provides links to the M42.
Accommodation - This wonderful period home is replete with character and charm. Inside, the interiors are welcoming with a deceptive floor area of around 2,000 sq ft. The hall leads to a light, dual aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace and French doors which lead out onto the gardens. The sitting room has a door to the rear hallway and dining room. From the rear hallway there is stairs rising to first floor and an inviting breakfast room with a Rayburn stove and a door to the kitchen. There is a utility room set off the kitchen with access to a w.c. On the first floor you will find four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom provides bespoke fitted furniture and there is a three-piece contemporary shower room. The property also has an impressive cellar.
Outside - Outside, the gardens are idyllic and whimsical and enjoy a south-facing aspect. The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys outlooks onto a glorious courtyard with central water feature. There is a lawned garden with a beautiful seating terrace and sumptuous cottage borders creating an arrangement of textures and colours. The garage outbuilding creates a charming backdrop. This space provides a garage and workshop with stairs rising to store room upstairs. The garage isn't listed and offers the potential to be converted into an annexe or home office subject to the necessary planning consents.
