Main Street, Dunton Bassett, LE17 5JH

Set in the quietly picturesque village of Dunton Bassett, this enchanting one-bedroom cottage is a fine example of vernacular rural architecture, its whitewashed façade softened by areas of exposed brick and punctuated with elegant sash-style windows. It sits comfortably within its surroundings, offering a gentle introduction to village life.

The internal arrangement is both intuitive and carefully considered. The sitting room, positioned to the front, is an inviting space where a wood-burning stove forms a natural focal point, lending warmth and atmosphere. Light filters in through a generously sized window, illuminating a palette of simple, tactile materials. To the rear, the kitchen is composed of classic shaker cabinetry, timber worktops and a butler sink, its understated design both functional and enduring. Beyond lies a dining area, quietly oriented towards the courtyard garden.

Upstairs, the bedroom is calm and restorative in character, while the bathroom is notably spacious, appointed with a roll-top bath and timber flooring underfoot. Throughout, the house retains a gentle sense of its history, balanced by a freshness that makes it immediately liveable.

A walled courtyard garden extends from the rear of the plan, enclosed and private, with established planting that brings softness and seasonal variation. It is a quietly atmospheric space, well suited to both morning and evening use.

The cottage lies within easy walking distance of the village pub and surrounding countryside, with the nearby market town of Lutterworth a short drive away, along with convenient connections to the wider road network.

A rare and considered offering, this is a house of modest scale but enduring appeal—equally suited as a primary residence, a retreat from the city, or a carefully chosen first home.
