This generous individual period cottage offers almost 2,400 sq.ft. of versatile family accommodation across ground and first floors. The large L-shaped living/dining kitchen with vaulted ceiling and solid fuel stove forms the heart of the home, while a ground-floor suite could work as an annex for teenagers or extended family. High ceilings, exposed beams, fireplaces and bespoke joinery deliver genuine character throughout.
Set on a mature plot of about 0.34 acre, the west-facing garden is well stocked with shrubs, productive vegetable beds, greenhouse and useful outbuildings. A gravelled driveway provides ample off-street parking for numerous vehicles. The village location in Old Dalby is peaceful yet within commuting reach of Nottingham and Leicester, with local primary schools rated Good.
Practical points are straightforward: freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, mains services and no identified flood risk. The property lies within the village conservation area and has solid brick walls with internal insulation and double glazing installed before 2002.
Buyers should note the house has been extended and reconfigured over time, creating a sprawling layout that may suit adaptable households but could need internal updating to modern tastes. A small single-storey element is attached to a neighbouring outbuilding; inspect this relationship during viewing. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent.
