High Street, Bottesford

**GRADE II LISTED 3 STOREY TOWNHOUSE ** ACCOMMODATION IN REGION OF 1.150 SQ.FT. ** 3 BEDROOMS ** OPEN PLAN DINING KITCHEN ** ENCLOSED GARDEN AT REAR ** GARAGE WITH ROOM ABOVE ** HEART OF THE VILLAGE LOCATION ** HIGHLY REGARDED VALE VILLAGE ** VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED **

A really interesting opportunity to purchase a delightful, deceptive, Grade II listed, three storey period townhouse which offers a deceptive level of internal accommodation lying in the region of 1,150 sq.ft., tastefully refurbished throughout and offering a convenient location right at the heart of this highly regarded Vale of Belvoir village. The property also unexpectedly benefits from a private garden at the rear, off road parking and garage with potential office/studio space above.

This is a really unique home, large enough to accommodate families but will probably appeal to single or professional couples or even potentially those downsizing from larger dwellings and looking for a character home literally yards from local amenities.

The property offers three bedrooms spanning the top two floors and a beautifully appointed shower room updated with contemporary fixtures and fittings. To the ground floor, accessed off an initial entrance hall, is a pleasant sitting room with feature fireplace and an open plan dining kitchen appointed with a generous range of integrated units providing a good level of working space. Accessed off the kitchen is an initial small courtyard garden but with the benefit of an additional garden a few yards away which offers a good degree of privacy being well stocked with established shrubs and incorporating a brick built garage. The garage provides secure parking or workshop space with a separately accessed room above which, subject to any necessary consents, would make an excellent home office, studio or storage space.

Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
