A charming and deceptively spacious, two-bedroom character cottage with a private rear garden, ideally located at the heart of the popular village of Knossington.
ACCOMMODATION
The ground floor of this charming home offers deceptively spacious accommodation, comprising a breakfast kitchen, two reception rooms, and a ground floor shower room. The living room, positioned at the front, is generously proportioned and features a log-burning stove alongside built-in storage and shelving. The centrally located kitchen is a large, well-equipped space fitted with a range of units, integrated appliances, a central island, and a useful cupboard beneath the stairs. An archway leads through to the dining room, which benefits from a French door opening onto the rear garden. Completing the ground floor is a shower room.
On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, and one with an ensuite shower room. The roof space is part-boarded to provide additional storage and features power points.
OUTSIDE
Externally, the property features a small front garden enclosed by a low wall, with stone steps leading to a covered porch and the front door. To the rear, there is a private west-facing courtyard garden - an attractive, low-maintenance space that includes a custom-made water feature in the form of a rill running along one wall with verdant planting, while the opposite wall is lined with mature plants, including two apple trees. These frame a York-stone paved outdoor dining area. The garden is further enhanced by power points for lighting and outdoor cooking, as well as hot and cold-water taps. A brick-built outbuilding provides useful additional storage.
A separate, custom-built and fully insulated home office provides an excellent space for flexible working, complete with heating, halogen ceiling lights, full-fibre broadband, a capped water point with sink plumbing, and a long-life aqua-resist roof.
LOCATION
The beautiful village of Knossington lies on the Rutland/Leicestershire border, just four miles West of the market town of Oakham.
