Meynell Cottage is a Grade II listed period home on a large south‑west facing plot in the heart of Quorn. The house blends retained character—timber‑framed windows, original slate roof and decorative fireplaces—with sympathetic contemporary updates such as an open‑plan kitchen with underfloor heating and integrated appliances.
The accommodation, set over two floors, offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple reception rooms and versatile outbuildings including a summer house/pottery studio and a recently re‑roofed double garage with modern electrics. The mature garden, paved patio and off‑road parking for several vehicles create a practical family setting with private outdoor space and direct access to the garage.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict some alterations and can cause additional costs and delays. The house predates 1900 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, the glazing installation date is unknown, and council tax is above average. There is a medium flood risk for the area — buyers should obtain specialist advice and insurance quotes.
Overall this will suit a family seeking a character home with flexible living and generous gardens, or buyers prepared to invest in heritage maintenance and sensitive upgrades. Surveys and listed‑building consent checks are strongly recommended before committing.
