** ATTACHED PERIOD COTTAGE ** IN THE REGION OF 860 SQ.FT. OF ACCOMMODATION ** 2 DOUBLE BEDROOMS ** SPACIOUS HALLWAY ** 1ST FLOOR BATHROOM ** WEALTH OF CHARACTER ** OFF ROAD PARKING ** ENCLOSED SOUTH FACING COURTYARD GARDEN ** HEART OF THE VILLAGE LOCATION ** VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED **
An excellent opportunity to acquire a really interesting, individual, character cottage situated on a manageable plot at the heart of this highly regarded Vale of Belvoir village, literally yards from the wealth of amenities and services.
The property is laid out over two floors and offers a deceptive level of accommodation, lying in the region of 860 sq.ft., tucked away behind a block set driveway providing off road car standing and benefitting from an enclosed south facing courtyard style garden at the rear.
Internally the property offers a wealth of character and features with many rooms offering beamed ceilings and attractive fireplaces as well as the majority UPVC double glazing and gas central heating.
The accommodation comprises a well proportioned entrance hall leading through into a dining kitchen fitted with a range of integrated units, finished in heritage style colours, which links through to a pleasant sitting on the southerly side, giving access out into the garden. To the first floor, leading off an initial L shaped landing, are two double bedrooms as well as a well proportioned bathroom with a four piece suite.
The property would be perfect for a wide range of prospective purchasers and although large enough to accommodate a small family would probably, in the main, appeal to single or professional couples or those downsizing from larger dwellings, appreciating its central village location.
In addition the property benefits from no upward chain and viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
