A unique proposal close to the National Forest; this characterful cottage built in 1880 has two acres of land with multiple opportunities.
General Description - Alexanders of Ashby are delighted to introduce to the market a unique offering in the village of Acresford; a three bedroom semi-detached cottage built in 1880 with approx. two acres worth of grounds.
Accommodation - Internally, the current owner has made subtle changes to the property whilst maintaining its character and charm. The ground floor is focused around a double sided log burner with kitchen/breakfast room and sitting room either side. The conservatory houses the dining table and leads onto the garden. The main entrance into the property is accessed via a porch which leads off the conservatory. There is also a downstairs w.c.
The first floor has two double bedrooms and a family bathroom, and the top floor houses the largest bedroom with en-suite. This room is centred around the chimney and has the original beams running through. On the top floor you have beautiful views over towards the land and forest.
Outside - Outside, the rear gardens are laid mainly to lawn and there is a home office/cabin which is fully insulated(44 mm walls), heated and double glazed and has multiple uses. The plot is accessed down a track at the end of Brookfield Cottages where you have parking for three vehicles directly next to the property. There are two further brick under tile stores, one of which is currently being used as a utility room. Behind the stores there is a further seating area with veranda and herb garden which looks back towards the house.
Land - The land measuring circa two acres was purchased by the current owner in 2020 and is situated to the north west of the property. Expect to walk up a slight gradient and then the majority of the land is levelled off. At the furthest point you cannot see another building around you, only the fields and forest surrounding you. The land could have many different uses, subject to planning and depending on the new owner's desire. Ramblers have access along the track which leads directly into the Nation Forest and towards the Hoborough Brook. There is also further parking available if required.
Location - Acresford occupies a most accessible location positioned within 2 miles of Junction 11 of the M42. The village is within an easy drive of both Tamworth (10 miles) and Birmingham (26 miles), and the market towns of Ashby-de-la-Zouch (5 miles) and Market Bosworth (12 miles) are close by. The National Forest sits close by with Hick's Lodge and Conkers visitor centre all within easy reach.
