A quintessential English country cottage, restored with sensitivity and restraint, offering a rare balance of heritage character, modern comfort and village living. Boasting a south facing garden and chain free sale.

Occupying a delightful edge-of-village setting within the highly sought-after village of Kirkby Mallory, this three-bedroom traditional country cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of character and enduring appeal. Beautifully restored and sympathetically renovated by the current owners, the property combines period authenticity with the ease and efficiency of contemporary living.

Set within a beautifully established cottage garden, thoughtfully designed to sit in harmony with the character of the house. A cobbled pathway and carefully considered cottage-style planting, leading towards an attractive summerhouse. The garden provides a natural extension of the home.

Internally, the cottage is rich in original detail, with exposed oak beams, open fireplaces and traditional quarry-tiled flooring contributing to a sense of warmth and authenticity throughout. The thoughtfully arranged ground floor comprises two reception rooms, a characterful cottage-style kitchen, a practical utility room and a well-appointed bathroom. Numerous fitted cupboards provide excellent storage throughout. The restoration has been undertaken with evident care, ensuring period character remains at the forefront while modern comfort is fully realised. Practical enhancements include double glazing throughout and modern electric heaters.

The first floor offers versatile accommodation, currently arranged as three potential bedrooms. The generous master bedroom is of particular note, providing a substantial king-sized space with ample room for wardrobes. Bedroom two is also well-proportioned, while bedroom three is presently configured as a dressing room to bedroom two, offering flexibility to be reinstated as a bedroom or utilised as a home office, depending on requirements. All first-floor rooms enjoy pleasant views over the gardens.
