Hunts Lane, Desford, LE9

Tucked along the stretch of Hunts Lane in the village of Desford, this beautifully renovated two-bedroom cottage presents a considered design. Finished to an exceptional standard throughout, the house has been thoughtfully redesigned in recent years, with every detail carefully refined to create a home that is both stylish and effortless to live in. To the rear, open views across rolling countryside lend the setting a calm feel.

Entry is via a front door that opens directly into the living space, where a multi-fuel log burner forms a warm focal point. Wooden laminate flooring runs throughout the ground floor, tying together the living and dining areas with a cohesive, modern finish. A window to the front elevation allows natural light to filter into the room, while contemporary wall-hung radiators enhance the clean, minimalist aesthetic. Cleverly integrated storage is found beneath the stairs.

Beyond, the dining area forms a continuation of the ground floor, with French doors opening out to the garden and drawing the landscape into the home. The adjoining kitchen has been executed with a striking modern design. Matt-black handleless cabinetry is paired with sleek work surfaces, creating a refined palette. A suite of high-specification appliances by AEG includes an inset electric oven with extractor above and a built-in coffee machine, alongside integrated refrigeration and plumbing for a washing machine. A window to the rear frames the expansive countryside beyond.

A staircase rises to the first floor, where a glass partition and oak balustrade is a distinctive feature on the landing. Subtle spotlights light the space, enhancing the contemporary tone.

The principal bedroom sits peacefully to the rear, enjoying uninterrupted views across the surrounding fields. The second bedroom overlooks the front of the cottage and provides access to the loft, which has been boarded and fitted with lighting, reached via a wooden pull-down ladder.

The bathroom has been beautifully reconfigured as a refined four-piece suite, unified by elegant matt-black fittings. A freestanding bath sits beneath a statement floor-mounted tap with shower attachment, while a separate walk-in shower features a modern Crittall-style glass screen. A pedestal basin with mixer tap is flanked by twin matt-black towel radiators, with a low-level WC completing the arrangement. Partially tiled walls, LVT flooring and inset ceiling spotlights lend the room a calm atmosphere.

The garden unfolds to the rear, where open countryside provides an ever-changing rural backdrop. A gravelled terrace sits closest to the house, offering an ideal setting for outdoor dining before stepping onto a neatly kept lawn. A shared gated passage runs to the side, with an additional gate providing neighbouring access. Boundaries are defined by fencing, creating a sense of enclosure while preserving the expansive views beyond.

Across the road from the cottage is the added convenience of off-road parking, while to the front a low wall frames the approach, completing the home’s charm.
