Set on the outskirts of Desford, this three-bedroom mid-1900s terraced cottage offers countryside views, open-plan living and flexible accommodation across three floors. The large sitting/dining room with exposed brick and a lined chimney provides character and scope for a woodburning stove; the kitchen overlooks the rear garden and opens onto a decked area. The third-floor bedroom has restricted head height but benefits from Velux windows and eaves storage.
Practical points include mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, solar panels, and off-street parking opposite the house. The plot is modest and the rear garden is mainly lawn with mature shrubs and included shed. Broadband speeds are reported as slow while mobile signal is excellent.
This cottage is offered with no upward chain and will suit buyers seeking a period property with countryside outlooks and room to personalise. There is clear potential to modernise and improve insulation (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated) and upgrade services if desired. Council Tax sits in an affordable Band B.
Positioned for village life, the house is close to local shops, schools (including Bosworth Academy) and regular bus routes to Leicester, with good motorway access nearby. Buyers looking for a character home in a prospering countryside setting will find practical value here; those needing high-speed broadband or a larger plot should note the modest garden and slow internet speeds.
