Description

Primrose Cottage, Melton Road, Burton-on-the-Wolds
Set within the sought-after village of Burton on the Wolds, this beautifully restored period cottage has been finished with an exacting attention to detail, balancing its historic character with considered contemporary upgrades. The village itself is well served, with a local shop, a much-loved pub and an Ofsted ‘outstanding’ primary school, alongside excellent road connections to Loughborough, Melton Mowbray, Nottingham and Leicester. Loughborough station also offers straightforward commuter links further afield.

Inside, the house is rich in texture and warmth. Exposed ceiling beams, a log-burning stove and a striking brick staircase create a sense of heritage, while underfloor heating in the kitchen and dining space introduces modern comfort. The entrance hallway forms a practical and welcoming threshold, with access to the sitting room, a W/C and a stairwell descending to a versatile ground-floor study. There is also space here for a discreet utility area, alongside the central heating boiler.

The sitting room is a calm, generous space arranged around the log-burning stove, with a window overlooking the front aspect and an easy flow through to the dining area and kitchen beyond. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with quartz work surfaces, a range of base and wall units, and a breakfast bar with integrated wine storage. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, drawing in light and connecting the interior to the outdoors. A Rangemaster cooker and integrated fridge/freezer complete the arrangement.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged off the landing, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobe space. The family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary four-piece suite, including a walk-in shower, separate bath, low-flush W/C and wash basin; a fitted television adds a quietly indulgent finishing touch.

Outside, the cottage is set behind a landscaped frontage with off-road parking. To the rear, a south-facing garden has been carefully arranged with a patio and lawn, alongside outdoor taps and a useful outhouse for storage. It is a private, sunlit setting, particularly suited to the warmer months.

Why Burton-on-the-Wolds

Burton on the Wolds is a village that rewards those looking for a slower, more grounded pace of life without losing everyday convenience. Surrounded by open countryside yet exceptionally well connected, it offers a strong sense of community alongside practical amenities. A well-regarded local pub and village shop sit at its heart, while the Ofsted ‘outstanding’ primary school makes it particularly appealing to families.

The village’s position allows for easy access to Loughborough, Melton Mowbray, Nottingham and Leicester, whether by road or rail, making it a popular choice for commuters who value rural living without compromise. Footpaths and lanes extend into the surrounding landscape, offering space to walk, cycle and unwind, while nearby market towns provide a broader mix of shops, cafés and services. It is a place defined by balance: quietly rural, well connected and deeply liveable.
