Delightful Grade II Listed cottage in the heart of Billesdon with parking and pretty garden as well as planning permission to extend.


Location
Billesdon is an active village surrounded by Leicestershire’s rolling countryside. This pretty village with many period, iron stone houses, offers a host of amenities including post office, doctors surgery, village store and two pubs.

This lovely rural village is well positioned close to the A47 with links to the east, to the M1 and Leicester and to the west, the A1, Stamford and Peterborough. Market Harborough is about 11 miles away and from here there are direct trains to London St Pancras taking just under one hour.

There is a great range of schooling in the area with a primary school in the village with secondary education in Leicester, Kibworth and Oakham.

Description
Ivy cottage is a highly attractive cottage with some charming original features. The property is nestled in a quiet corner of the village, tucked away off the road. The location is peaceful and there are lovely views of the village and the church.

The existing accommodation includes two reception rooms to the front with fireplaces and exposed beams and beautiful oak floors. Also to the front is the conservatory with views onto the garden. To the rear with partially vaulted ceiling is the farmhouse style kitchen complete with Aga and quarry tile floor.

There is a double bedroom also with oak floors and a superb family bathroom on the first floor. On the second floor is an additional two double bedrooms.

A drive leads off Church Street (also providing access to the neighbouring property) to Ivy Cottage where there is a gravel parking area. The carefully designed garden has some lovely seating areas making the most of the sun and the pretty village views.
There is a large additional building with power and water currently used as a home office with separate bathroom. This super space offers excellent potential to be used as additional accommodation or to be incorporated into the main house as per the planning permission.

Planning

The plans provide permission to demolish the existing conservatory and porch in order to erect the single storey glass garden room to the front. This contemporary structure is designed to create a home in tune with modern living but at the same time being sympathetic to the character of the listed building.
