"** DETACHED PERIOD COTTAGE ** SYMPATHETICALLY RENOVATED THROUGHOUT ** HAND MADE KITCHEN ** 3 BEDROOMS ** 2 RECEPTION ROOMS ** GARDEN ROOM TO REAR ** CONTEMORARY SHOWER ROOM ** OFF ROAD PARKING ** DELIGHTFUL ESTABLISHED GARDENS ** HEART OF VILLAGE LOCATION ** NO CHAIN **

We have pleasure in offering to the market this archetypal detached double fronted period cottage, occupying an attractive and generous plot right at the heart of this highly regarded and well served Vale of Belvoir village.

The original double fronted element of the property is understood to date back to the mid 1800s and approximately 100 years later a further extension was added to the rear creating a versatile level of accommodation, which has more recently seen a tasteful programme of sympathetic modernisation.

The property benefits from replacement cottage style woodgrain effect UPVC double glazed windows, gas central heating, hand made Shaker style kitchen and contemporary shower room, all lying behind the attractive double fronted brick elevations beneath a pantiled roof.

Internally the accommodation comprises initial entrance hall with cottage latch doors leading to two reception rooms, both benefitting from solid fuel stoves and the second reception linking into the dining kitchen which benefits from a dual aspect into the rear garden, walk in pantry and additional rear entrance porch.

To the first floor there are three bedrooms, the main two doubles benefitting from hand made wardrobes, there is also a contemporary wet room.

The property occupies a delightful plot set well back from the road behind a walled frontage with off road car standing and established garden.

The rear garden is a particularly delightful aspect of the property being a generous size by modern standards and benefitting from a just off westerly aspect, having central lawn and well stocked perimeter borders with established trees and shrubs.

Attached to the rear of the house is the useful addition of a garden room, which is currently utilised as a studio but would make an excellent home office. A run of brick outbuildings provide a utility room and useful store, as well as gardener s wc.

Overall this is a rare opportunity to acquire an interesting individual home and viewing is the only way to truly appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.

The village of Bottesford is well equipped with local amenities including primary and secondary schools, a range of local shops, doctors and dentists, several public houses and restaurants, railway station with links to Nottingham and Grantham which gives a fast rail link to London s Kings Cross in just over an hour. The A52, A46 and A1 are also close by providing excellent road access.
