Property description
RECTORY LODGE : A CHARMING EXTENDED DETACHED COUNTRY COTTAGE nestled in extensive informal gardens of one third of an acre or thereabouts - enjoying a delightful semi-rural location on the edge of the village with open countryside views. There is a useful brick outbuilding in the southerly-facing rear garden which offers the potential to be converted into an office for someone working from home (subject to the relevant permissions being obtained). Also a garage and off-road parking for two to three cars. The white-rendered family home boasts a superb L-shaped oak dining kitchen (almost 25ft (7.5m) in length), and two reception rooms with feature fireplaces. A look inside the four-bedroomed home reveals: an open plan entrance porch, hallway, good-sized dining kitchen, spacious lounge, cosy beamed snug, a utility room and downstairs toilet, master bedroom with en suite, three further bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. The house benefits from gas central heating, UPVC wood-effect double glazed windows and mains sewage. We anticipate a great deal of interest in this individual, realistically-priced, family home, and early viewing is respectfully recommended. No upward chain.
THE LOCATION
The cottage is situated on the outskirts of the sought-after and desirable village of Coleorton on a quiet country lane just off the A512 which runs between Ashby and Loughborough. Nearby Coleorton Hall, nestled in fifty acres of magnificent landscaped grounds was built for Sir George Beaumont and his wife Dame Margaret and inhabited for the first time in 1808. The house is within easy access of the M42 and M1 motorways via the A512, the international airports at East Midlands and Birmingham, and the East Midlands Parkway railway station.
