3 bedroom semi-detached house

The property
Grange Cottage offers attractive architectural features, with the perfect blend of period charm combined with modern interior styling ideally suited to 21st century requirements. Beautiful wood-effect flooring provides cohesion and practicality, extending across the two light-filled ground floor reception rooms. There is one room to either side of the entrance hall and both feature charming fireplaces with inset log-burning stoves for a warming ambience. These mirror-image spaces present as a relaxed sitting room for downtime and an adjacent dining room which would provide the classic spot to host family and friends. With rustic terracotta-tiling to the floor, the spacious kitchen/breakfast room is centred around a recessed cream Aga stove and fittings include an extensive range of contemporary, wall and base level cabinetry and timber work surfaces. There is ample space to place a table for informal dining, whilst a glaze-panelled door connects the inside with the outside setting. Ancillary space is provided by a good sized utility room which incorporates a cloakroom facility.

On the first floor, step-level changes create interest and the calming colour palette continues. There are three evenly-sized rooms all benefitting from fitted wardrobe storage featuring latched, ledge and brace doors. The principal bedroom has access to a modern en suite shower room, whilst a well- appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation on offer in this appealing cottage.

Outside
A private lane gives access to a length of gravelled driveway, with an area of hardstanding alongside the cottage providing parking. Neatly clipped evergreen and beech hedging creates partition within the grounds and secluded outdoor settings are on offer between the adjoining neighbouring cottages. There are cool, soft surface grassed areas and a brick-paved terrace offers opportunities for al fresco dining.

Location
The property is situated in the semi-rural village of Slawston, which is home to the Church of All Saints and a village hall hosting local events and activities. The nearby village of Medbourne offers sports clubs, an inn with restaurant and a post office.

The village is located between the market towns of Uppingham in Rutland and Market Harborough in Leicestershire, with both providing a good range of facilities including independent shops, supermarkets, post offices, restaurants, pubs and galleries. Slightly further afield there is a larger shopping, cultural and leisure centre at Leicester.

Communication links are excellent with the A47, M1, A14 and M6 within easy reach for road users. Commuters can access rail services in Market Harborough for journeys into London St Pancras International (from 1 hour) and north to Nottingham. Well-regarded schooling in both the state and independent sector is available in the vicinity.
