Formerly the village shop in the early 1900's, Pippin Cottage is a delightful period property with warm and characterful living space. The property enjoys delightful, sunny gardens and a private driveway providing OFF-ROAD PARKING.
General Description - Alexanders of Melton Mowbray are delighted to offer to the market Pippin Cottage, a beautifully refurbished cottage that at one time in the early 1900's operated as the village shop.
The cottage was one of three properties renovated by a well-reputed builder around 20 years ago and has been in the same ownership ever since. The property is situated in the heart of Hose, a beautiful East Leicestershire village with a fantastic community feel and a local country pub.
The property is set back and elevated from a quiet lane, with walled front gardens and a pathway to the front door.
Location - Hose is a quintessentially English village settlement positioned in the Vale of Belvoir, 6 miles from the market town of Melton Mowbray. Within easy reach is the market town of Grantham (rail access to London in 1 hour) and the bustling city of Nottingham. Access to Loughborough and Leicester is also within easy reach.
The village has a regular bus service, public house, village hall, and associated playing fields. There is a real community feel and a lovely mix of housing stock. The village has excellent school catchments and there is a range of good private schooling options locally including Ratcliffe College.
Accommodation - The accommodation is laid across two floors and serviced with mains gas central heating and double glazing throughout. There is a floor area of circa 916 square feet providing characterful and well-proportioned living space.
The accommodation includes three bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate family bathroom. On the ground floor, there are three super living spaces, namely a formal sitting room with a feature fireplace and working wood-burning stove, a large fully fitted shaker style kitchen/diner, and a garden room.
The Outside - To the rear, the property offers two private garden spaces enjoying a sunny aspect and landscaped in a low-maintenance fashion with Indian flagstone flooring. The main courtyard is directly to the rear of the property, with a gate and steps down to a second courtyard used by our current vendors as a barbeque area. This also provides convenient access to the private, block paved driveway providing off-road parking.
Tenure - Freehold.
