Description

This charming character property is believed to be one of the oldest in Great Glen with parts dating back to 1596 and although not Listed, is steeped in history, having once been two buildings, home to the village blacksmith and boasting exposed oakwork believed to be from 15th Century warships.

In recent years the house has been carefully updated and now provides a two bedroom cottage with a one bedroom self-contained apartment/annexe thought suitable for generational living, as a shorthold let or as an AirBnB.

Great Glen lies approximately seven miles south east of the city centre and offers a range of facilities including a Parish church, GP surgery, village store, post office, hair and beauty salon, library, local primary school and three public houses. A wider range of facilities can be found within nearby Oadby and Market Harborough.

There is space for an American style fridge-freezer, inset ceiling spotlights, grey tiled flooring and a fantastic original wooden ledge and brace door.

The sitting room is a spacious yet cosy space with beautiful exposed beams and brickwork, housing the staircase to the first floor with a useful understairs storage cupboard (the former front door), a multi-fuel cast iron burner set within a brick surround and hearth with a wooden mantel, a small window one side and a built-in display cabinet to the other, a further window overlooking the garden and double doors to a study with two Velux windows a window to the side and a patio door leaning back to the sitting room.
