Detached cottage-style house on large mature plot
Set on a large, mature plot in peaceful Burton Lazars, this substantial detached cottage offers flexible family living across three storeys. Original character survives in exposed beams and a brick fireplace, alongside practical modern fittings such as a Smeg range cooker, mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown).
Accommodation flows well for growing households: a lounge, home office/dining room, and a generous living/dining kitchen on the ground floor; a first-floor sitting room that could serve as a fifth bedroom, three further bedrooms and two bathrooms; and an additional bedroom on the second floor. The double garage, wide paved driveway behind electric gates and extensive front and rear gardens give strong appeal for families who need storage and outside space.
Energy rating D and solid brick walls (as built, assumed uninsulated) mean buyers should expect some thermal upgrading to improve comfort and running costs. Council Tax Band E should also be considered when assessing ongoing costs. Overall the house combines period charm, useful modern conveniences and significant scope to personalise or update, making it a compelling choice for families seeking a sizeable village home within easy reach of Melton Mowbray and regional centres.
