House For Sale £425,000
Rare opportunity to purchase a substantial 19th Century Character 3/4 bedroom cottage in Watling Street, a lovely area at the heart of the very well served and increasingly sought after village of Mountsorrel.
This unique property has benefitted from tasteful and sympathetic extensions over the years, providing excellent family living space, including a stunning 11 metre dining kitchen/conservatory, with units by De Vol, and Rangemaster dual fuel range cooker, all combining to provide a bright and extensive entertaining space. Patio doors lead from the conservatory onto the wraparound garden. This is a character property, with original features including an original cast iron Victorian fireplace, lovingly restored several years ago by Heritage Leicester.
From the street, steps lead up and along a cobbled path to the front entrance and small lobby area off which is the first reception room, currently used as a study and library, with feature cast iron fireplace and wood-burning stove. To the other side of the lobby is the second reception room used at present as the sitting-room. From there you are led through to the impressive dining kitchen and conservatory, at the end of which is a useful utility room, with shower, WC and small wash hand basin. There is a good sized pantry and plenty of cupboard space. At the other end of the dining kitchen area is a separate, fourth reception room which has previously been used as a guest bedroom, currently in use as a second office.
Upstairs, are two large charcterful double bedrooms with sloping ceilings and exposed wooden beams as well as walk-in cupboards. There is also a further smaller double, and a large and tasteful fully tiled bathroom with walk-in shower, and claw footed bath.
Outside, in the rustic cottage wraparound garden, there is a grassed area and a pebbled entertaining area, as well as a separate small allotment style area for growing vegetables, with sheds and a greenhouse. There are further areas of garden to the front and side of the house.
Gas central heating and double glazing throughout. On-street parking.
Mountsorrel itself is an increasingly popular, buzzing village in the Soar Valley, well served by regular public transport to Leicester and Loughborough. Sileby Railway Station is just a mile and a half away. It has its own junior school and is handy for Rawlins Academy in Quorn and a mere 5 miles to Lougborough and the popular and well-regarded Foundation Schools. It benefits from a well equipped and newly refurbished Leisure Centre and swimming pool, several supermarkets, including a Waitrose and a Co-op and cafes including the award winning rkd. Mountsorrel is also home to Leicestershire’s only Michelin starred Restaurant, John’s House which is within easy walking distance of this property. There are two riverside pubs, and a micro pub within easy walking distance as well as lovely river and countryside walks straight from the house.
