Main Street, Thurnby, Leicestershire

A charming Grade II Listed 19th Century cottage, beautifully constructed in striking red brick with sections of exposed stone beneath a traditional Swithland slate roof.

Now in need of some modernisation, the house is rich in character and period appeal, and offers accommodation including a welcoming sitting room, spacious dining kitchen, generous bedroom, dressing room and large bathroom. The property benefits from off-road parking via a private driveway and an extensive garden, all enjoying a delightful setting with views towards St Luke’s Church.

Location - Thurnby is an extremely popular village lying to the east of the city, located on the edge of the some of the County's finest rolling countryside and offering amenities catering for most day-to-day needs.

Accommodation - The property is entered via a charming dual aspect sitting room with a door and window to both front and rear elevations, quarry tiled flooring, ceiling beams, a bult-in corner dresser and an open fireplace with wooden surround; stairs rise from here to the first floor. The dining kitchen has a continuation of the quarry tiled flooring and ceiling beams, along with exposed feature stonework, windows to the front and rear and a range of base level units, a sink, wall mounted boiler, ample white appliance space, and a useful pantry cupboard.

To the first floor, a small landing provides access to the generous bedroom, with a window to the front, a dressing room off and a very large bathroom with a front window providing a three piece suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.
