Rookery Lane, Wymondham, Melton Mowbray

A beautifully presented, character-filled four-bedroom ironstone family home set on a generous quarter-acre plot with off-road parking, garaging, versatile annexe and a south-facing garden on the edge of Wymondham village.

Ground Floor - The ground floor opens into a spacious entrance hall, complete with a thoughtfully fitted utility cupboard providing space and plumbing for both a washing machine and dryer. A door leads to the staircase rising to the first floor. The entrance hall flows into a reception room, currently used as a study, featuring a character fireplace, a front-facing window, and French doors opening directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood the space.

A couple of steps rise to an inner hallway, which provides access to a cosy snug, a downstairs cloakroom, and the heart of the home – a superb open-plan living kitchen. This generous, light-filled room benefits from windows and doors to three aspects. The shaker-style kitchen is fitted with a range of integrated appliances, space for a range-style cooker, and a substantial central island with breakfast bar seating. There is ample room for both dining and relaxed seating areas, making it ideal for family life and entertaining alike. At the far end, a striking brick and stone inglenook fireplace houses a log-burning stove, creating a warm focal point. Folding doors open directly onto the patio, providing that much sought-after flow from inside to out.

First Floor - Upstairs, the property offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features built-in wardrobes, an en-suite shower room, and a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden. The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside - Set on a generous plot of approximately a quarter of an acre, the property enjoys a delightful edge-of-village position and offers ample off-road parking, along with a single detached garage with an electric vehicle charging point. The south-facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature boundaries, offering a high degree of privacy. Thoughtfully planted borders, a pond, and a generous patio immediately adjoining the open-plan living space create an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining.

In addition, the versatile annexe provides exceptional flexibility, whether for accommodating guests, working from home, or creating a dedicated leisure space.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful and beautifully maintained cottage in a desirable village-edge location, offering generous accommodation, versatile outbuildings, and superb gardens extending to approximately a quarter of an acre.

Planning permission is already in place for an additional extension, providing for the creation of a dedicated utility space and the enlargement of two of the existing bedrooms, offering excellent potential to further enhance the home.
