Welcome to this charming cottage with a delightful twist! The main residence offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a unique sense of warmth that can only be found in a truly well-loved home. Adjacent to it sits a large two-bedroom, one-bathroom annexe, adding a versatile and highly desirable feature to this wonderful property.

Step inside and discover stylish, thoughtfully designed interiors that combine contemporary comfort with the timeless character of a period property. The result is a warm, move-in-ready sanctuary that feels instantly like home.

The annexe provides superb flexibility — ideal for extended family, guests, independent teenagers, or as a potential rental or Airbnb opportunity (subject to planning permission).

Outside, you’ll find ample secure parking and generous storage, catering perfectly to hobbyists, car enthusiasts, or anyone running a home-based business.

After many happy years creating cherished memories here, the current owners are reluctantly downsizing due to age — leaving behind a home that has clearly been cared for and enjoyed.

Set in the heart of Birstall’s historic Old Village, this home offers not just peace and character but also a genuine sense of community. A short stroll takes you to Birstall village centre, with its range of shops, cafés, and amenities, while the much-loved White Horse Pub is just around the corner.

Families will appreciate the proximity to well-regarded local schools, Watermead Country Park, and other family-friendly attractions. With quick access to the A6 and Leicester city centre, you’ll enjoy both convenience and tranquillity in one of the area’s most sought-after locations.

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Birstall’s history — perfectly blending period charm, modern living, and exceptional versatility. Viewing is highly recommended!
