Mews Cottage is a charming Grade II listed three-bedroom Victorian cottage with generous rooms and a sunny, well-stocked south-facing garden overlooking Ockbrook cricket ground. The property combines period character — high ceilings, sash-style windows and an Adam-style fireplace — with practical moderns including a recently fitted gas boiler and mostly double glazing.
The layout suits family life: a spacious reception hall with cellar access, front lounge, dining kitchen and a large conservatory that serves as breakfast, sitting and utility space. Two double bedrooms and a shower room sit on the first floor, with a large third double on the second floor beneath exposed beams — plenty of flexible space across the house’s substantial floor area.
Outside is a strong asset: block-paved driveway, detached garage, long enclosed car port and established private gardens with patio seating, lawn, ornamental pond, three greenhouses, polytunnel and a summerhouse. The plot and parking make this rare for village living and provide excellent scope for gardening or hobby projects.
Important considerations: the house requires updating throughout so budget for renovation works. Its Grade II listed status means alterations will need consent and may limit changes. Council Tax Band E and the single shower room (no bath) are practical details to note. Sold freehold and chain-free, it offers a solid base for a family wanting a character home in a prosperous village location.
