Weir Road, Kibworth Beauchamp, Leicestershire

This delightful, charming three/four bedroom period cottage close to the heart of this historic village, has been reconfigured and refurbished over the years, to form a comfortable cottage with over 1,200 sq. ft of living space. Abundant with period features, this home would suit both growing families and downsizers alike.

Accommodation - This delightful cottage offers an abundance of period features, the traditional front door has been retained for aesthetic purposes, however, your day-today entry is located to the side which leads in to a very handy and practical utility/boot room lobby that has flagstone flooring, plumbing and space for a washing machine and dryer and a fitted cupboard (housing the boiler) and access out to the rear garden.

The living/dining room forms the heart of this home, which has cleverly designed openings either side of the central chimney breast, creating an open flow to the kitchen. It boasts exposed feature beams, a bespoke staircase (with removable balustrades, handy for moving furniture) and a log-burning stove which creates a lovely focal point. Beyond here is the sitting room/snug which could also serve as a playroom or a ground floor bedroom and offers access out to the rear garden.

The breakfast kitchen features a bespoke range of fitted units with natural stone and wood work surfaces that make the most the space and offer ample storage, there is also a two person breakfast bar. There is space for a range-style oven within the feature recess, space for an American-style fridge/freezer, integrated dishwasher to the corner and circular Villeroy & Boch sink. Beyond the lobby is the study/bedroom four with a vaulted ceiling and attractive views of the walled garden. A handy guest cloakroom is discreetly tucked in the corner behind a brace and latch door.

Upstairs the sense of space continues with a long landing serving three double bedrooms. The master bedroom feels spacious, with exposed wooden floorboards and benefits from a fabulous, refitted ensuite bathroom with free-standing bath, separate shower cubicle, wash basin with a vanity unit and low-level WC. The second bedroom features a deep, built in cupboard over the stairs. At the far end of the hall, is the L-shaped shower room with shower cubicle, low-level WC, and wash hand basin.

Outside - The secure, east facing landscaped garden also takes advantage of the southerly aspect with thoughtfully placed paved seating areas amidst the raised bedding borders that enjoy the late afternoon and evening sun during the summer.
