Homestead Cottage is a sympathetically extended three‑bedroom detached period property set on the edge of Thorpe Arnold, offering wide countryside views and a sizeable, well‑tended garden. The house retains original character features including exposed beams and a brick open fireplace, while practical additions include a fitted kitchen, utility and an en‑suite to the principal bedroom. A detached garage, workshop and sauna add useful outbuildings and flexibility for hobbyists or storage.
Practical considerations are clear and should be factored into any offer. Heating is by oil‑fired boiler to radiators, glazing dates are unknown, and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated as built; the EPC is rated E. Broadband speeds are currently very slow and there is a stated medium flood risk. There is no planning permission to build at the rear of the garden, and part of the kitchen was previously underpinned.
This cottage will suit buyers wanting village life with easy access to Melton Mowbray and local amenities, families seeking nearby good primary schools, or purchasers looking for a character home with scope to improve energy efficiency and modernise services. The property is freehold, set in an affluent, low‑crime rural area with excellent mobile signal and straightforward parking via garage and drive.
