Local amenities include a primary school, butchers, general store and two popular pubs. A more extensive range of facilities can be found in neighbouring Syston and Thurmaston Retail Park. The market towns of Melton Mowbray, Loughborough, Oakham are close by and the nearby A46 provides excellent road links to both Leicester, Nottingham and M1(J21). There are excellent private schools close by, these include the Loughborough Foundation Schools (10 miles) and Ratcliffe College (3.3 miles).

Ground Floor
The ground floor accommodation is made up of three inter-connecting reception rooms, all of which enjoy a dual aspect and bay windows onto the lane. All reception rooms have period fireplaces and from the sitting room French doors open into the rear garden. The kitchen now with the addition of a cosy snug extends into the rear garden and French doors enjoy a pleasant South Westerly aspect. The kitchen fitted by Shortland Craft is hand painted and features a mains gas fired Aga, granite tops including breakfast bar and has range of integrated appliances. A walk-in pantry, broom cupboard and fully equipped utility room and WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

First Floor
The landing, which almost stretched the full length of the cottage is bathed in natural light and provides access to five bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedroom one enjoys a dual aspect, high ceiling and has its own luxury en suite bathroom which looks out over the rear garden and includes twin wash hand basins. Bedroom five is currently used as a study with purpose-built furniture available by separate negotiation. Bedroom two also has its own en suite with large double shower.

Outside
The property enjoys a mature setting, standing in grounds of around 0.27 acres in total. The cottage which almost extends the full length of this quiet lane is approached though electric wooden double gates which are set into a high, brick boundary wall. A generous courtyard finished in York stone provides hardstanding for several vehicles and access to an Oak framed double garage. The courtyard and cottage are connected by a stone path which is flanked by raised beds and discreet post lights. The rear garden provides an idyllic back drop to this rare home and several mature trees, including a large Hornbeam provide a high degree of privacy. Highly manicured striped lawns form much of the rear garden and a wide, York stone path extends from the cottage to an impressive range of outbuildings. Several seating areas within the garden have been created ideal for soaking up the peace and tranquillity provided by the location.

Oak-Framed Double Garage
Constructed by English Heritage Buildings in 2005, this oak-framed garage which is open fronted has a slate roof.

Home Office
Accessed through double doors from the rear garden, this newly refurbished space with high vaulted ceiling has a window and two Velux roof lights.

Attached Barn/Stables
