3 bedroom detached house for sale

Offered to the market for the first time in over 100 years, along with No Onward Chain, we are pleased to present this detached Victorian cottage full of charm and history. Built in 1870 and set in the heart of Kibworth, the property was once known locally as “The Telephone House” in the 1920s when it housed the village’s first telephone exchange.

The property already benefits from UPVC windows and gas central heating and offers the next owner a fantastic opportunity to modernise this characterful property to make their own with a light programme of refurbishment.

From the entrance hallway, the living room sits to one side with a coal effect gas fire set into a decorative surround and built-in shelving. On the opposite side is a dining room with exposed beams, fitted cupboards and a further coal effect fire within brick surround. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units, oven, fridge and plenty of worktop surface space. This space leads through to a small utility space which provides a rear entrance hallway. Completing the ground floor is currently the bathroom though as mentioned later in the particulars, this could easily be moved upstairs and then this room could be an additonal space to the kitchen, or separate study for example.

Upstairs the accommodation offers three bedrooms currently, two being doubles and the third a single. The two doubles are very comfortable sizes for a property of this overall size and style and therefore it seems very viable to easily locate a new bathroom in what is currently the third bedroom, especially that this space is directly above the kitchen.

Externally, to the rear of the property there is a private, sunny courtyard garden with space for outdoor seating, perfect for entertaining! A side passageway leads through gated access on to the garden.

Kibworth remains one of the area’s most desirable villages, with an excellent range of amenities including pubs, restaurants, shops, coffee houses and sports clubs covering golf, cricket, tennis and football. The village is surrounded by beautiful South Leicestershire countryside, while London can be reached by train in just an hour from nearby market town of Market Harborough, making it a convenient location as well as a picturesque one. A rare chance to own a property with great potential in the heart of this popular village.
