3 bedroom character property

* GUIDE PRICE £425,000 - £435,000 *

Set within the picturesque countryside with far-reaching views is this quaint thatched cottage, boasting deceptively spacious accommodation throughout including a living area, open plan kitchen & dining area, three generous bedrooms, en-suite shower room and a separate bathroom. Positioned at the end of these Grade II Listed former almshouses, built by the Earl of Harborough in 1732 for the estate works of Stapleford Hall, the property is filled with character along with being tastefully upgraded over recent years by the current owners. The property sits with a larger-than-usual plot encompassing front & rear gardens, shared driveway parking and a separate allotment-style garden detached from the house. Internal viewings are strongly encouraged to fully appreciate this desirable home.

As you approach the property from the front, the entrance door leads you into the main hallway with ample space for coats, boots and shoes with stairs then leading to the first-floor landing. A doorway leads through to the spacious living area with exposed beams and solid flooring. Two windows provide ample natural light to the L-shaped living area. From the living area, you have a useful downstairs WC and access to the refitted kitchen and dining area. A generous space for the whole family to enjoy, with fitted wall and base units throughout including built-in appliances and breakfast bar. The kitchen area hosts ample space for a dining table and chairs with direct access to the rear garden. The kitchen leads through to the utility room and door to the garden. From the first-floor landing, you find three spacious double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a further versatile room built into the eaves. The master bedroom features an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower.

The property sits on a desirable plot within the popular hamlet of Stapleford that is located less than 10 minutes from Melton Mowbray, less than 15mins from Oakham and 5 minutes away from Wissendine which has a local shop.

With far-reaching views from all points and access to several walks, cycle routes & road networks. The property has access to the shared driveway and parking area with joint maintenance responsibility with neighbours. The private front garden is mainly laid to lawn with maintained hedges to the boundary. The rear garden is mainly laid to a patio with far-reaching views over the countryside. A separate allotment sytle garden is positioned to the right of the driveway and provides a great additional space, separate from the main garden area. Internal viewings are strongly recommended.
