Regent Street, Thrussington, LE7 4UB

A Cottage with Character, Charm and a Few Centuries of Stories to Tell
Sam Cable of Taylors Estate Agency, Rothley is delighted to bring to the market this truly exceptional period cottage. If you've ever dreamt of owning a quintessential English home with exposed beams, a crackling stove, beautifully established gardens and a history stretching back centuries, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

Dating back to the late 1700s, this beautifully maintained three-bedroom cottage occupies a prime position in the heart of the highly desirable village of Thrussington. Rich in original character yet thoughtfully updated for modern living, it effortlessly blends period features with practical family accommodation and impressive energy efficiency, thanks to owned solar panels.

Step inside and you'll quickly realise this is no ordinary cottage. Behind the charming façade lies a surprisingly spacious home, with each room revealing yet more character as you explore.

The living room is everything you hope a cottage living room will be. Exposed timber beams? Tick. Original parquet flooring? Tick. A fabulous multi-fuel stove creating the perfect focal point for cosy winter evenings? Absolutely. French doors open onto an attractive front terrace, making it just as enjoyable with a morning coffee in the sunshine as it is with a glass of wine on a crisp autumn evening.

The kitchen is equally full of charm and practicality. Oak-fronted cabinetry, a traditional Belfast sink, natural slate flooring and a beautiful range cooker, included within the sale, combine to create a space designed for everyday family life as much as entertaining. With generous storage and plenty of workspace, it's a kitchen you'll genuinely enjoy spending time in.

Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen is a wonderfully bright dining room, where French doors open onto the garden and windows on multiple elevations flood the room with natural light. Whether hosting family celebrations, Sunday lunches or relaxed evenings with friends, this is a space that naturally brings people together.

Practicality hasn't been forgotten either. A spacious utility room and separate boot room keep day-to-day life organised, while the ground-floor bathroom offers a touch of luxury with its elegant Victorian-style roll-top bath—perfect for unwinding after a long day.

Upstairs, the sense of character continues. Three generous double bedrooms each offer their own individual charm, with the principal bedroom benefiting from fitted wardrobes and an abundance of space. The second bedroom retains the character of an original period fireplace, while the third is currently arranged as a beautiful library and reading room, equally suited as a guest bedroom, home office or creative workspace. A contemporary shower room completes the first-floor accommodation.

Outside, the gardens are nothing short of exceptional.

Lovingly landscaped over many years, they're arranged across a series of attractive terraced levels, creating a wonderfully private and tranquil setting. Mature planting, lush ferns, architectural palms and colourful seasonal borders ensure there's something to admire throughout the year, while paved seating areas, a summer house and a garden store offer numerous places to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Completing the outside space is off-road parking for two vehicles—a valuable feature for a property of this age.

The location is equally special.

Thrussington remains one of North Leicestershire's most sought-after villages, perfectly balancing rural charm with excellent connectivity. Popular village pubs, local amenities and beautiful countryside walks, including scenic routes towards Ragdale, are all within easy reach, while Leicester, Loughborough and major road networks are conveniently accessible.

Properties of this calibre rarely become available. Combining timeless character, generous accommodation, beautiful gardens and an enviable village setting, this is far more than simply a house—it's a home with nearly 250 years of history, ready to begin its next chapter.
