Apple Tree Cottage is a charming early-20th-century terraced home tucked into central Quorn, offering period character and a highly convenient village location. The house feels cosy and well-loved, with two reception rooms, a log-burning stove in the snug and original features that create immediate warmth and personality. A practical shaker kitchen overlooks the landscaped rear garden, and a converted outbuilding provides useful utility and WC facilities.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom currently used as a study and a loft studio ideal for hobbies or home working. The house is an average-sized terrace (approx. 1,120 sq ft) with traditional solid-brick walls, double glazing and mains gas central heating from a boiler and radiators. The rear garden is a standout asset: thoughtfully landscaped with mature planting, patio and lawn, offering a private outdoor space for dining and play.
Buyers should note this is a period property that will benefit from targeted updating. The solid brick construction likely has limited cavity insulation, and external images indicate some maintenance needs and potential damp risk in places — a survey is recommended. Accommodation is compact by modern standards (single bathroom), so the layout will suit a small family, couple or buyer seeking an attractive village home with scope to personalise and improve.
For purchasers wanting village convenience, character and a ready-to-enjoy garden, this cottage represents a strong proposition. It offers immediate charm with clear potential to increase value through sympathetic modernisation and ongoing maintenance.
