Three-bedroom family home with huge garden and driveway parking.
Newly refurbished to a high standard in 2012
A beautifully refurbished three-bedroom cottage in the heart of rural Barsby, where period character meets everyday comfort. The house was sympathetically updated in 2012, keeping exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and original charm while adding modern kitchen fittings, double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators.
Set well back from the lane on a very large plot, the cottage offers generous outdoor space, a gravel driveway with off-street parking and a pleasant, manageable garden framed by mature shrubs. Internally the layout works well for family life: a bright reception, a kitchen-diner with stairs to the first floor, a snug with stove and three double bedrooms upstairs.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the property is solid brick as built and is assumed to have no wall insulation, the EPC rating is D, and there is a single three-piece family bathroom for three bedrooms. Ceiling heights vary and some rooms have lower ceilings typical of older cottages. There is potential for further development subject to permissions, which may appeal to buyers seeking extra space or value-add.
Barsby’s peaceful countryside setting, excellent mobile signal and proximity to well-regarded schools and Melton Mowbray make this cottage especially suitable for families or buyers seeking a rural base with good commuting access. Tenure is freehold and mains services are connected.
