4 bedroom cottage for sale

A quintessential English country home in a stunning village setting.

Tucked away along the picturesque Main Street of Newtown Linford, Rose Cottage is a truly distinguished Grade II Listed residence that blends history, charm, and modern comfort. Set well back from the road, this enchanting home offers a sense of peace and seclusion while remaining at the heart of one of Charnwood’s most sought-after villages.

Steeped in history, parts of Rose Cottage date back to the 16th century when it was originally two separate cottages. Now seamlessly combined, the home boasts an abundance of character, from beamed ceilings and fireplaces to exquisite cruck beams. Yet, it has been thoughtfully adapted to suit contemporary family life, offering spacious and versatile accommodation across four bedrooms, three beautifully appointed bathrooms, and four reception rooms of exceptional charm and warmth.

At the heart of this inviting home lies the characterful farmhouse kitchen, where an inglenook fireplace, underfloor heating, and ample space for a dining table create the perfect setting for family gatherings. Built-in appliances, including a fridge and dishwasher, ensure modern convenience, while a dedicated utility room provides additional storage and practicality.

The garden room is a showstopper, featuring a striking oak framed fully glazed gable that floods the space with natural light and effortlessly connects indoor and outdoor living. This is a home designed for both relaxation and entertaining, with every space offering a blend of comfort and style.

The first of the two staircases rises from the kitchen to a private section of the home, where the principal bedroom enjoys the luxury of a dressing room and en-suite. A further bedroom with a charming feature fireplace is served by a stunning family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and built-in vanity units. From this landing, a second narrow staircase leads to a flexible attic bedroom or study.

The second staircase, accessed from the sitting room, ascends to a characterful through-room leading to a further double bedroom. This adaptable space perfectly suited as a private guest suite or teenager suite, is currently used as a dressing area / study leading to a substantial bedroom. A further luxurious bathroom completes this section, featuring a claw-foot bath, walk-in shower, and stylish vanity units.

Outside, the gardens are a delight, thoughtfully landscaped to offer a mix of entertaining spaces, a vegetable garden, and open areas for children to play. Set behind electric gates, there is ample secure parking for multiple vehicles, and a charming coach house garage, added in the early 2010s, provides covered parking, storage, and a studio above—ideal for working from home.

Newtown Linford is renowned for its beauty and community spirit, with Rose Cottage perfectly positioned just moments from the rolling landscapes of Bradgate Park and the village cricket pitch. Weekend breakfasts at local cafés, leisurely walks, and visits to the welcoming village pubs—The Bradgate and The Linford—are all part of the lifestyle this exceptional location affords. Families will appreciate the nearby village primary school, while excellent transport links, including easy access to the M1, Leicester, Loughborough, and East Midlands Airport, ensure connectivity for work and travel.

As a Grade II Listed property within a conservation area, Rose Cottage retains its historic significance while offering an inviting and versatile family home. A shared-access driveway leads to the rear garden, and the property benefits from two gas central heating boilers and a previously established drop kerb to the front boundary on Main Street.

Rose Cottage is a home of rare beauty and charm—offering the perfect balance of history, character, and modern-day practicality. Viewings are highly recommended to truly appreciate all that this exquisite property has to offer.
