In addition a ground floor cloakroom leads off a hallway with staircase with half landing rising to a first floor landing above, with attractive part pitched ceiling and access to four double bedrooms, the master of which is particularly generous, offering large walk in wardrobe and ensuite facilities with separate family bathroom.
In addition the property benefits from UPVC double glazed windows, gas central heating, neutral decoration throughout and occupies a pleasant corner plot with off road parking and useful attached store to the front while to the rear an attractive landscaped enclosed garden with central lawn and paved terraces provides a pleasant outdoor space which links, via bifold doors, back into the main living room.
The property is situated within this well regarded Vale of Belvoir village in an attractive position close to the village church and within walking distance of the heart of the village.
Overall this is a really interesting, individual period home large enough to accommodate growing families but would appeal to a wide audience whether it be professional couples or those downsizing from larger dwellings looking for an interesting cottage within an attractive village setting.
Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
