****Unexpectedly back on the Market****Set in the heart of the rural village of Bruntingthorpe, this charming, detached period cottage presents traditional village living. Brick-built, with original sash windows, it retains many characterful features.
Built around 1800, the cottage comprises three double bedrooms, lounge, formal dining room, country kitchen, conservatory, garage and a private courtyard garden.
Step Inside:
You enter Rose Cottage through the front door into a generous lounge currently used as a lounge-diner. This room has exposed beams to the ceiling, a wood-burning stove and windows to front and side elevations.
Off the lounge is a formal dining room, currently being used as study, with beamed ceiling, quarry-tiled floor and windows on two elevations. It has a feature fireplace with timber mantle and stone hearth.
The freestanding country kitchen has a beamed ceiling, flagstone floor, Belfast sink and a window overlooking the rear garden. Set in an inglenook, the Rayburn stove provides heating and hot water for the cottage, as well as cooking facilities.
The conservatory opens from the kitchen and overlooks the courtyard. It has a vaulted ceiling and a quarry tile floor. This south facing, light-filled space is the perfect spot to enjoy the garden with a morning coffee or an early evening drink.
From the dining room a curved staircase rises to the first floor landing. Two separate windows make this a light and airy space. Traditional pine doors open off the landing into three double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom features a cast-iron fireplace with timber surround, a sash window to the front elevation and access to a ‘Jack & Jill’ bathroom. The second bedroom is well presented with a sash window to the front elevation and fitted double wardrobes. The third bedroom, currently being used as a second office, has a window to the rear elevation, exposed roof timbers and two inbuilt storage cupboards.
The ‘Jack & Jill’ bathroom connects to the principal bedroom giving an ensuite facility. The second door opens onto the landing, serving the remaining two bedrooms. The bathroom is fitted with natural stone tiles, washbasin, toilet and mirrored wall cupboard. The large corner bath has an overhead drenching shower and an additional tap shower mixer. The window sits to the side elevation.
Step Outside:
The garage is a versatile space currently used as a pottery studio. Once the village reading room, it contains a shelved book cupboard and a fireplace with chimney from that time.
Through the garden gate, you pass below an arch of roses into a charming south facing courtyard. This private space is well stocked with mature plants; roses, honeysuckle and lavender are in abundance, whilst an apricot and a magnolia tree provide shade. This stunning walled garden epitomises country living.
Location:
The desirable, conservation village of Bruntingthorpe sits in southern Leicestershire near to the market towns of Lutterworth and Market Harborough. Well known for its popularity in terms of convenience for London, there are speedy rail links from both Market Harborough and Rugby. The area has good access to the M1, M6 and A14 road networks as well as Birmingham and East Midlands International Airports.
The village benefits from a pub, a noted restaurant and a pretty church.
The surrounding rolling countryside of South Leicestershire offers many delightful scenic country walks, with challenging golf courses available at South Kilworth and Cold Ashby.
