Ivy Cottage, Cooks Lane, Wigston, Leicestershire

SITUATION
The property is approached via an attractive tarmac driveway which leads from Cook Lane through open fields to the property and further on to the rear garden and several outbuildings. The driveway passes a parking and turning area and provides full access to the property.

Ivy Cottage comprises an attractive residential country house which offers several reception rooms, three double bedrooms and a single bedroom. The property has many original features throughout including open fireplaces and a traditional kitchen which overlooks the adjoining paddock and pond. There is opportunity to modernise throughout and extend the dwelling with ample space in the rear garden. Ivy Cottage has a light and airy feel in all rooms and provides countryside style living whilst being close to amenities and conveniences.

The large garden to the rear offers mature shrubs, trees and privacy on all sides and there is a gravelled area adjoining the house which offers al fresco dining and a pleasant outside seating area.

Immediately to the rear of the garden are the outbuildings which offer secure storage or alternative uses (subject to relevant planning permission). One of the buildings is steel portal framed construction with brick and corrugated sheet walls and roof and measures approximately 35 ft x 15ft. This building also offers a secure roller shutter door, pedestrian side access door and a concrete floor throughout. The other buildings are of timber construction and offer basic storage only.

The property as a whole extends to approximately 0.5 acres and offers an extremely rare opportunity to own a unique family home in this sought after area. Viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

Wigston and Oadby are close by which provide a wide range of amenities including schooling, medical facilities, shops, restaurants and public houses. Leicester also has train mainline services to London St Pancras and the area is also convenient for the wider travel network with easy access to the M1, A47, A6 and M69.
