House For Sale £575,000
A rare opportunity to secure a delightful detached cottage offering versatile living accommodation. This property will not be on the market long and early viewing is advised. Mount Pleasant is a delightful cottage that sits in secluded, peaceful grounds and gardens and offers a truly idyllic setting, with stunning views across the Leicestershire countryside. Offering versatile living accommodation, this charming cottage could conceivably provide additional living accommodation or could offer a business opportunity, (with appropriate permissions granted) as there is potential to develop the separate outbuilding that sits next to the house.
Positioned on the outskirts of Claybrooke Magna, with 360 degree views over the South Leicestershire countryside, this charming property is the perfect place in which to watch the rising and setting of the sun due to the fabulous south facing garden to the rear . Two further side gardens also extend down east to west from each end of the cottage. Built in the 1700's, the home has been lovingly upgraded to become the charming three-bedroom cottage you see today. Inside, you'll find a treasure trove of character - from exposed wooden beams and timbers throughout to iron-hinged doors, casement windows and gorgeous fireplaces, all paired with fresh paintwork and cosy carpets.
You enter the cottage via the charming entrance porch that leads directly into the sitting room. This room is the heart of the home and it is from here that all rooms can be accessed. The dining room is partly divided from this charming, beam-filled room by a deep through and through, open brick-built Inglenook fireplace. Warm tones to walls and mounted lamp lights create a lovely cosy atmosphere for those long winter months through all the ground floor reception rooms. And on balmy, sunny days these rooms offer a cool alternative. The characterful atmosphere continues into the dining room and beyond into the spacious lounge; the centrepiece of this room being another charming inglenook fireplace, housing the multi-fuel burner. With the most beautiful views through double doors across the rear garden and over rural countryside, the only neighbours here are the ponies grazing peacefully in the fields beyond. Head back through the dining room to the heart of the home and from here to the side of the cottage, through another charming heavy wooden door, you will find the large ground floor cloakroom and Bedroom three, which is currently used as a study. Pass by the wooden staircase and you will come upon the pretty country breakfast-kitchen. Offering a good range of Shaker-style cabinets, with cream doors and draws that wrap around the room in an L-shape, leaving ample space for a clever built-in breakfast table. Entering the bright garden room, you will be greeted by the most beautiful countryside views over the fields beyond.
Up the Wooden Hill - Wooden lattice stairs from the sitting room rise to a first-floor landing. This connects the two largest bedrooms and master bathroom. Bedrooms one is spacious king-sized room offering fantastic views over the Leicestershire countryside. Bedroom two is an enchanting double bedroom with the added bonus of built-in wardrobes to two walls offering ample storage.
The exquisite and spacious family bathroom lies opposite both bedrooms. Upon the black tiled flooring stands a roll-top bath with Victorian-style handheld shower attachment, pedestal basin, wc and separate shower. In addition, there is a bank of built-in cupboards with large mirror at the centre.
Outside, to the front, enter through the picket gate bearing the cottage name and enjoy the chocolate-box frontage which is bordered by a pebbled passageway. Each side of the cottage has its own separate garden, individually being in excess of 200 feet long. To the rear of the property, there is a quintessential English potted garden that boasts uninterrupted view across open countryside.
Due to the clever layout of the plot, the separate outbuilding, currently used as a garage, lends itself perfectly for development as either an annex that could be connected to the cottage, or if preferred, a completely separate building entirely, with its own private garden (subject to planning permissions)
