Property description
Enjoying a tucked away position off the Loughborough Road, in the popular village of Mountsorrel, this charming, chocolate box cottage boasts an abundance of stunning character features as well as modern fixtures and fittings, to include a refitted gas combination boiler and refitted shower room. Offered to the market for the first time in nearly 20 years, the property has been renovated to a high specification and is in 'ready to move into' condition. Having latched doors, a log burner and exposed beams, the layout then in brief comprises lounge diner, fitted kitchen with Farmhouse style tiled flooring, granite and solid wood worktops and a ceramic sink. To the first floor, the landing provides access to the master double bedroom, a further single bedroom and a modern shower room. Outside, there is off road parking for two vehicles to the side, a small patio rear garden with exposed feature brick wall as well as a larger than average, low maintenance, garden beyond the parking.
