Description
Whether you are a first-time buyer, downsizer or keen to combine commuter convenience with country living, this delightful, three bedroom period cottage that has been lovingly refurbished and extended, seamlessly blending contemporary living with period charm, represents an idyllic dream home in a rural village setting with excellent commuter links by both road and rail.
Accommodation - A solid oak, Gothic-arched door opens into a striking porch with a vaulted ceiling, offering ample space for benches and shoe storage. From here, the inner hall rises with a staircase and links the two reception rooms.
To the left lies the sitting room, beautifully appointed with bespoke shelving, exposed floorboards and beams, and a firebox set within an exposed brick chimney breast, creating an inviting focal point for relaxation. A Gothic-arched window floods the room with natural light, enhancing its character and charm.
Across the hall, the snug centres around a multi-fuel burning stove, also set within an exposed brick chimney breast, flanked by bespoke cabinetry and shelving. A useful storage cupboard is tucked neatly beneath the stairs, while internal feature windows and a glazed door offer glimpses into the kitchen/dining room beyond.
This kitchen and dining space, created as part of a two-storey extension, is both light-filled and expansive and the true heart of the home. A flagstone floor, handmade deVOL cabinetry, and stone worksurfaces combine to create a striking yet practical room. There is space for a range-style cooker with extractor hood, a double Belfast sink with integrated dishwasher, and room for a fridge/freezer. Double doors open directly to the garden, while a glazed side door leads to the utility room. Here, full height deVOL cabinets house a laundry and pantry area, with plumbing and space for a washing machine and dryer, alongside ample storage for household essentials. Beyond lies a ground-floor shower room, featuring a contemporary Aston Matthews suite with a luxury walk-in shower, WC, and wash basin.
Upstairs, the landing is enhanced with floating display shelves and leads to three generous double bedrooms. Two include built-in storage at the front, while the third, created within the extension, boasts a vaulted ceiling and a log-burning stove, and is currently arranged as an additional sitting room. The family bathroom has been refitted with a stylish suite, including a tongue-and-groove panelled bath with shower attachment, WC, and wash basin.
Outside - The wrought iron gate into No. 4 The Bank's private front garden is accessed via a shared path from Bosworth Road and leads you into an idyllic leafy garden surrounded by mature bedding areas and fruit trees.
The private rear garden can be accessed from the side of No. 1 by following the path round to the back of the neighbouring cottages, and through the gate where you will find several outbuildings providing handy, secure storage and a former brick potting shed/greenhouse with glassed paned vaulted ceiling which is been fashioned to create an eye-catching al fresco dining/seating area. The tranquil, rear garden features an extensive lawn bordered by hedgerows, with several fruit trees, small pond and fields beyond.
