Church Street, Cottingham, Market Harborough

Lucas Estate Agents are pleased to be offering to the market this substantial grade II listed property situated in the beautiful Welland Valley village of Cottingham. Sitting on a plot of around 3/4 acre, the main features include a 5 bedroom house, a one bedroom annex, 2 garages, 4 separate gardens with outbuildings, and a recently installed, fully air conditioned and heated garden office. The main house dates back to the 17th century and is packed with features directly from this era. However since then, it has been carefully renovated and updated to make it a wonderful, modern family home. Set over 3 floors, the property has been in the same family for over 60 years. On the ground floor you will find 3 reception rooms plus a large kitchen/diner with downstairs accessible shower room and WC. Up the ornate stair case you will find 3 double bedrooms and the family bathroom. On the 2nd floor there are 2 further double bedrooms and a landing that is big enough for a study or playroom. The annex is laid out on one level and includes a large bedroom, lounge, kitchen and bathroom. The ground floor of the annex would make a fantastic renovation to turn the whole building into a 2 or 3 bedroom detached property. For more information about this property please speak with the agent or check Rightmove for a more detailed description.

Further Information - Entering through the front door you are lead straight into an airy, large reception area with doors that lead to all other downstairs rooms, and a beautiful ornate staircase leading to the first floor. The inglenook open fireplace makes this space cozy and welcoming and has room for plenty of sofas and other furniture.

To the left on the ground floor you will find a large reception room that has been used as a study/playroom but also a secondary TV room. This room has very recently been re plastered and decorated throughout. The rear lounge features a wood burning stove that sits within a brick fireplace and windows with views onto the main house garden. Through the door next to the fireplace you will find the utility/boot room with a further door to the garden. This room has plenty of storage and space for white goods with a large sink. Next to this is the downstairs WC/shower room with shower cubicle, separate toilet and sink.

The kitchen/dining room brings together the whole ground floor with it’s large open plan, family room feel. There is plenty of space in the dining area for a large 14 person table plus sofas and chairs to create another reception area. The kitchen is a lovely feature of the house with it’s vaulted ceiling and roof window bringing in vast amounts of light to the whole area. The double doors onto the garden bring an airy feel to the kitchen allowing an indoor/outdoor flow to this room.

The 1st floor has 3 bedrooms all double in size with the master measuring 240 square foot alone. The large family bathroom has a bath with shower over and separate toilet and sink. Each side of the family bathroom has walk in cupboards which are currently used as overflow walk in wardrobes. The space in the bathroom would easily stretch to a separate shower cubicle as well as bath if needed.

Up to the 2nd floor you will find a fantastic landing area big enough to be used as a play room or more office space. Each side of the landing there is a large double bedroom with space for a double bed and wardrobes and each having fantastic views of the village and the Welland Valley.

The annex is set on one level above the garage and stable. The apartment consists of a large bedroom which features dual aspect windows looking out over the plot each side, a recently fitted shower room, kitchen and a large lounge. The property is perfect as a commercial rental or as a granny annex. One big feature of the annex is the solar panels on the roof that are owned outright. For more details on running costs for the annex ask the agent. The ground floor of this annex is ripe for a full conversion to make this annex into a 2 storey house all subject to local planning consent.

There are 4 separate gardens within the plot:
Main House Garden - this is fenced off from the driveway that leads all the way through to the annex.
The Barn Garden - This is a smaller laid to lawn area that leads to access of one of the Barns
Annex Garden - Right at the far end of the plot you will find this large laid to lawn garden which houses the newly fitted garden office.
The Vegetable Garden - Situated behind the annex is this large vegetable plot that has been a very successful vegetable growing garden.

There are 2 garages on the property, one is underneath the annex and the other is a stand alone building with a storage room to the rear. In addition to the garages there are 2 further barns which could quite easily be converted into accommodation subject to local planning consent.

The garden office was built in 2023 and is an insulated building complete with air conditioning and heating.

This is a unique opportunity to purchase a property that hasn’t been available to the open market for over 50 years and oozes opportunities for the new buyer. There is so much potential within the whole plot that to the current vendors it feels like a wholesome country way of life.
