Description

Nestled at the end of a quiet dead-end lane in the sought-after village of Billesdon, this delightful three-bedroom cottage offers a wonderful blend of period character, modern improvements and peaceful countryside surroundings.

Believed to date back to 1858, the property retains a wealth of character, including attractive fireplaces and a log burner, while having been thoughtfully updated over the years to provide comfortable modern living.

The ground floor comprises a welcoming kitchen, lounge and useful storage space. The kitchen benefits from a range cooker, bespoke storage and a practical layout, while the lounge features beautiful wood flooring, creating a warm and inviting space with the log burner providing a cosy focal point.

To the first floor are three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite and attractive wood flooring. One of the bedrooms also features built-in storage, providing valuable additional space. A separate shower room serves the remaining accommodation, while bespoke storage has also been incorporated into the hallway.

The property has benefited from a number of improvements, including a new kitchen and boiler approximately five years ago, a new bathroom around seven years ago, and replacement radiators carried out over the last five years. The house has also been recently redecorated, allowing the new owner to move in and enjoy the home straight away.

Outside, the property benefits from a driveway providing parking for up to three cars. The garden enjoys a particularly peaceful setting, backing towards a field and featuring a bank planted with established shrubs and flowers. The garden has also previously been used as a productive vegetable garden, offering excellent potential for those with green fingers.

The location is a real highlight. Positioned at the end of a quiet lane and close to open countryside, the property enjoys a tranquil village setting while remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities. Billesdon is a community-oriented village offering a primary school, village shop and post office, community centre, pub, playground and wildlife preservation area, together with a strong sense of community.

The village is conveniently positioned for access to Leicester and the surrounding Leicestershire countryside, while Market Harborough and Uppingham are both approximately 20 minutes away by car, providing further shopping, dining and leisure opportunities.

This is a truly characterful home, combining period charm dating from the mid-19th century with thoughtful modern improvements. With its peaceful position, countryside outlook, generous parking, original features, versatile accommodation and welcoming village community, this charming cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy village living in a beautiful Leicestershire setting.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size and potential of this property.

Buyer Process: Our customers use British Homebuyers to either purchase or assist in selling properties quickly and reliably. Therefore any new applicants to purchase are subject to vetting to ensure they meet strict criteria.

Exclusivity Fee:
You can secure the purchase by paying an exclusivity fee of £2,000. This grants the buyer exclusive rights to proceed with the purchase for the duration of the conveyancing process, during which time the seller agrees to remove the property from the market and not negotiate with other parties.

The exclusivity fee is returned to the buyer upon successful completion of the purchase.

A processing fee of £250 is required in order to draw up an exclusive legally binding contract between the buyer and seller. This fee also covers the buyer identity verification checks required under UK Anti-Money Laundering Regulations, which are carried out by our independent third-party provider. The agreement sets out the terms of exclusivity and seller commitment but does not constitute an exchange of contracts.
This arrangement provides buyers with reassurance that the property is secured exclusively for them, reducing the risk of gazumping and unnecessary aborted costs.
