Main Street, Cossington, Leicester, LE7 4UW

A truly unique and characterful cottage dating back to the 1700s, beautifully positioned on the edge of a highly sought-after village between Loughborough and Leicester. Once two separate dwellings, this charming property has been thoughtfully converted into a single, enchanting residence brimming with original features, generous gardens, and approved planning permission for further extension. This home is being offered for sale with no chain.
