Description
Windmill Cottage is a beautifully presented and deceptively spacious family home, offering a perfect blend of period charm and modern living. Set in a desirable location, the property has been thoughtfully extended and tastefully finished throughout, providing versatile accommodation across three floors.
Location - Tugby is a charming and sought-after village nestled within the rolling Leicestershire countryside, perfectly positioned between Uppingham and Billesdon. The village offers a wonderful sense of community, with a well-regarded primary school, a traditional country pub, and easy access to beautiful rural walks.
Accommodation - The entrance hallway is accessed via a glazed front door and features a wide staircase with an understairs storage cupboard. There's also a generous fitted area currently serving as a shoe rack and book storage (easily be repurposed as a small home office if desired). The sitting room offers a welcoming, cosy atmosphere. A UPVC sash window overlooks the front, while a painted wooden beam and brick fireplace with a slate hearth and log burner creates a charming focal point. Spotlights and wood panelling complete the inviting feel.
The kitchen features tiled flooring and a bright, airy layout with double-aspect windows, a sash to the front and two UPVC double-glazed windows to the side. This versatile space is currently used as an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Exposed wooden beams highlight where the property has been extended, and the kitchen itself is fitted with white units and black worktops, with an AEG double oven, a Neff induction hob with extractor, a stainless-steel sink with drainer, space for a fridge and plumbing for a washing machine. A small lobby off the kitchen, which houses the boiler cupboard, leads to a ground floor WC that features a chrome heated towel rail, WC and wash hand basin. A further door opens out to the rear garden.
Upstairs, to the right is a double bedroom with lovely exposed wooden floorboards, a sash window to the front and spotlights. Further along the hallway is another generous double bedroom with dual-aspect windows and fitted sliding wardrobes. A third double bedroom overlooks the side of the property. The family bathroom is well-presented with a tile-effect floor and houses the airing cupboard. It includes a bath with an electric shower over, full wall tiling, a vanity sink with storage beneath, WC, chrome heated towel rail, and an obscure glazed window to the side.
From the landing, stairs rise to a loft room (possible bedroom four, subject to formal building regulations) which offers excellent versatility. It features two beautifully painted white beams, UPVC windows to the side and a dormer to the front, providing stunning field views. This room has previously been used as a reception space and would make a wonderful home office, studio, or occasional guest room.
Outside - To the front of the property, there's a charming hedgerow with steps leading up to the front door beneath an open canopy porch. The frontage is finished with attractive stone detailing, and there is private parking for one vehicle, enclosed by a stone wall to the side. A side gate provides access to the rear garden - a beautifully designed outdoor space. Fully enclosed with a mix of fencing and brickwork, it features a lovely pergola seating area and a patio, creating the perfect spot for evening relaxation, barbecues, or entertaining guests.
