This charming extended, detached period cottage, nestled in a quiet lane close to the heart of this desirable village, offers scope for modernisation and no upward chain. With approx. 1,100 Ft2 of accommodation a show-stopping orangery-style dining/family room, two receptions rooms, two double bedrooms, landscaped garden, and garage, it is an absolute gem.

Accommodation - Step through the side entrance into the kitchen where you will find ample storage to the fitted wall and base units, with plenty of work surface space above. Feature internal windows provide glimpses of both the orangery, dining/family room to the rear and living room to the front.

To your right you and towards the front of the cottage are two spacious yet cosy reception rooms. The living room features exposed beams, feature period-style fireplace and range with a staircase tucked to the corner. The stained glass, leaded internal window simply adds to the charm and character of this home, while natural light floods the room through windows at the front and to the side. The sitting room features faux-exposed beams, French doors that lead to the outdoor dining terrace and feature fireplace with living flame gas fire. There is scope for this room to serve as a third/ground floor bedroom. Back through the kitchen is, quite simply, a rather unique, show-stopping space - an orangery/dining/family room with exposed brick walls and timber framed orangery style ceiling. With assorted bricks from several historic brickworks throughout Leicestershire and Derbyshire it offers a flexible, versatile space for you and your family to enjoy. To the corner is a workshop/tool store which could convert to a study, and separate access to the rear path outside.

The utility lobby leads from the kitchen into the ground floor bathroom, with storage and plumbing/space for a washing machine. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece coloured suite that comprises corner bath, WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

Upstairs you will find two double bedrooms, the second of which enjoying a dual aspect to both the front and rear.

Outside - To the front you will find a paved drive that provides off-road parking, parallel to the lane, step through the gate in the fencing into a delightful, attractive landscaped garden that enjoys plenty of sunlight. There is an extensive paved terrace, shaped lawn with mature borders and timber decked terrace for you and your loved ones to enjoy relaxing. The timber framed summer house with its double doors takes advantage of the late afternoon/evening sun in high summer and features power and lighting. Follow the path round to the rear of the property and here, beyond the orangery, you will find a private, secluded paved terrace ideal for al fresco breakfasts, or cuppas in the morning sun. A short-walk further down West Lane, will take you to the garage where you have secure storage beyond the up and over door.
