The Square, Newton Harcourt, LE8

Located on The Square in the highly regarded village of Newton Harcourt, this charming three-bedroom cottage has been thoughtfully extended to create a home that effortlessly blends traditional character with contemporary comfort.

Beautifully presented throughout, the property enjoys a pretty cottage-style front garden and a striking Mediterranean-inspired garden to the rear. Additional features include off-road parking, a security alarm, Nest heating system, gas central heating, and uPVC double glazing.

A composite stable door opens into a welcoming hallway with solid oak flooring and access to a ground-floor cloakroom.

The sitting room is a delightful dual-aspect space filled with natural light. It features a multi-fuel stove set within a brick fireplace, exposed painted beam, and oak flooring that continues throughout the ground floor, adding warmth and character.

Positioned at the back of the house is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that enjoys views over the rear garden. Bifold doors open directly onto the terrace, ideal for seamless indoor-outdoor living during warmer months. The generous dining area features an exposed beam and a second multi-fuel stove, creating a cosy focal point. The kitchen is fitted with painted oak cabinetry, Corian work surfaces and integrated Neff appliances.

At the front of the property is a versatile room currently used as a utility and boot room, with pleasant views over the garden. With its own external access, this flexible space would also work well as a study or home office.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms served by a modern four-piece family bathroom. The main bedroom is a bright, dual-aspect room with views of both the front and rear gardens. There is also a further double bedroom and a single room presently arranged as an office. The refitted bathroom includes a freestanding bath, separate shower, vanity unit and WC.

Drop-down ladders from the landing lead to a generous loft area, providing valuable storage and potential for future conversion (subject to the necessary consents).

Outside, the front garden is beautifully arranged with mature planting, a wildlife pond, vegetable beds and a choice of seating areas. A gravel driveway with electric point provides parking for two cars, with additional discreet storage beyond.

To the rear, a west-facing Mediterranean-style garden captures the afternoon and evening sun. There is a paved terrace beside the house, gravelled areas with raised beds, and a circular feature planted with a mature olive tree. Two outbuildings, both with power and lighting, offer useful storage, complemented by a bespoke powered greenhouse and a covered potting/lean-to area.
