Set well back on a very large plot in Hickling Pastures, Lea Cottage is an immaculately presented four-bedroom detached family home with generous reception space and a strong flow to the garden. The ground floor offers a formal dining room with a bay window, open-plan living with French doors to the rear, a sizeable kitchen and conservatory, plus a large utility/boot room and downstairs WC — practical everyday spaces for family life. The principal bedroom has an en-suite and the remaining bedrooms share a five-piece family bathroom, useful for busy households.
The property occupies roughly half an acre of grounds and benefits from a long gravel driveway, gated frontage and a large double carport providing covered parking and abundant off-street spaces. Planning permission has previously been granted for a single-storey dwelling in the grounds, creating clear potential for an annexe, home office or development subject to checks and permissions. Newly renovated throughout, the house combines modern fixtures with period character such as a front bay window and chimney.
Important considerations: the home is heated by an oil-fired boiler (not a community supply), the walls are solid brick with assumed no built-in insulation, and the EPC is a D rating. Council Tax sits in Band F. These are factual running costs and improvement opportunities buyers should factor in — insulating solid walls and updating heating could improve comfort and efficiency.
This property will suit families seeking space, privacy and countryside living with convenient road links (A46) to Nottingham, Leicester and the M1. The nearby villages offer local amenities and good primary schools; the plot and interior layout also appeal to buyers seeking scope for modest extension, an outbuilding or ancillary dwelling subject to permission.
