We have pleasure in offering to the market this really interesting, individual, part attached character cottage which offers a deceptive and versatile level of accommodation which approaches 1,500 sq.ft.
The property has been sympathetically extended and reconfigured over recent years, combining both contemporary and traditional elements and retaining much of its original character.
In its current layout the property provides up to three bedrooms, four reception areas including the addition of a garden room at the rear with a large open plan dining kitchen, separate dining room and sitting room with log burning stove. The ground floor study provides the third bedroom and makes use of a contemporary ground floor shower room. The property also benefits from a useful utility with second cloak room off.
To the first floor there are two further double bedrooms, a bathroom and a useful store which would be large enough to accommodate a small study area.
The property is tastefully presented throughout with relatively neutral decoration, many rooms offering beamed ceilings and benefitting from cottage style internal doors and modern kitchen and bathrooms as well as upgraded UPVC double glazing and gas central heating.
As well as the main accommodation there is also planning approved for the addition of a first floor master suite which adds to the onward potential of this interesting home.
The property occupies a pleasant established and deceptive plot tucked away on a quiet backwater at the heart of the village, accessed off a driveway with electric gates and detached brick built garage. The property benefits from a south to westerly garden at the rear which encompasses a useful brick store.
Overall this is a fantastic, individual home within a well thought of Vale of Belvoir village.
