We have pleasure in offering to the market this truly individual detached brick and pantiled cottage which offers a significant level of internal accommodation comprising four bedrooms and two receptions as well as a substantial open plan living/dining kitchen, utility and ground shower room with two additional bathrooms to the first floor.
The property has been sympathetically renovated over the years with upgraded plumbing and electrics, but retaining much character with beamed ceilings, attractive fireplaces and traditional style bathroom suite, all combining to create a truly bespoke and fascinating home.
The property occupies a pleasant plot tucked away at the heart of this highly regarded Vale village, set back behind a driveway with attractive timber clad garage/workshop. The majority of the garden lies to the front of the property and is partly laid to lawn with established shrubs and pleasant outlook across neighbouring paddock. To the rear of the property there is a further strip of garden which is rented from the Belvoir Estate.
Overall this is a wonderful individual home with viewing coming highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
Barkestone Le Vale lies in the Vale of Belvoir and there is a well regarded primary school in the adjacent village of Redmile with further schools in Bottesford together with shops, doctors surgeries, public houses and restaurants. The village has Fast Fibre Broadband and is conveniently placed for travelling on the A52 and A46 with road links to A1 and M1. The market towns of Melton Mowbray, Grantham and Bingham provide further amenities and from Grantham there is a high speed train to King's Cross in just over an hour.
