Description
This charming and generous cottage would make a superb home for those seeking character, swift commuter access and easy care gardens! With a rich history dating back to the reign of Henry VIII, this property has been lovingly restored to retain its heritage features while offering modern comforts. The Grade II listed accommodation is versatile and would suit a growing family, a professional couple, or even a retired couple looking for a home with space for visitors.
Entering through the front door, you are greeted by a dining room with an original exposed brick floor and a cozy corner with an Inglenook fireplace. The lounge features original exposed wooden floorboards and a central electric fireplace, with the option to install a log burner. A study/snug offers additional space and access to the driveway, leading to one of two staircases that ascend to the first floor and the domed cellar.
The kitchen is a standout feature with bespoke shaker style units, a Belfast sink, solid wood and tiled work surfaces, and a cast iron log burner. A utility room serves as a large pantry, with space for appliances and another Belfast sink.
The bedrooms are full of character, with the master boasting exposed vaulted A-frame ceiling beams, and bedroom two featuring an open-style free-standing bath and a Georgian fireplace. Bedroom three, ideal for children, offers views of the paddock.
The property's layout is unique, with the principal shower room positioned halfway between the ground and first floors, featuring a walk-in shower, chrome heated towel radiator, and underfloor heating.
Set on a broad plot, the front garden is instantly appealing with climbing Wisteria, while the rear courtyard is perfect for summertime entertaining, complete with a detached brick-built two-storey garden "Gin Bar." A garden studio offers potential for a home office or workshop.
Parking for three to four cars is available on the gravelled driveway at the rear, leading directly into the kitchen. The village of Hoton, though quiet, has an active community with regular events, a country pub, and access to tennis courts, playing fields, and a children's park.
The property is well-positioned for commuters, with Loughborough railway station just 3 miles away, providing easy access to Leices
