Summary - 42 MAIN STREET COSBY LEICESTER LE9 1UU
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Charming detached cottage with driveway, garden and ensuite — some retrofit required.
Detached three-bedroom cottage with character features and exposed beams
Tucked on Main Street in the popular village of Cosby, this detached three-bedroom cottage blends period charm with practical family living. Exposed beams and a brick fireplace give the lounge character, while the open-plan kitchen/dining area provides everyday space for family meals and entertaining.
The ground floor layout includes a handy downstairs WC, two reception rooms and a sizable driveway leading to off-street parking. Upstairs the principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite and dressing area; two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation. A private rear garden offers a pleasant outdoor space and a decent plot size for children and pets.
Buyers should note the property’s age and construction: solid brick walls likely have no cavity insulation and double glazing was installed before 2002. The EPC is E. There is recorded surface-water flooding that affected the approach in January 2025 — the house itself has medium flood risk and there are no formal flood defences. These factors may influence insurance and retrofit costs.
Overall this freehold cottage will suit families seeking village life close to good schools and fast broadband, or buyers wanting a characterful home with potential to improve energy performance. A full survey is recommended to quantify insulation, services and any remedial works before purchase.
