Summary - Childs Cottage, Melton Road, Burton Lazars LE14 2UR
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large private plot with paddock potential near Melton Mowbray.
Detached four-bedroom period cottage with character features
Childs Cottage is a substantial four-bedroom detached period cottage set in an impressive 3.22-acre plot of gardens and pasture, offering rare room for grazing, paddocks or extensive family gardens. The house retains character features and benefits from central heating and double glazing while providing panoramic countryside views and privacy with no immediate neighbours.
Internally the layout is flexible — two front doors lead to a large kitchen, sitting room and separate lounge, with a pantry, boiler room and ground-floor WC. Upstairs are four bedrooms served by a bathroom and a separate shower room; two staircases rise to the first-floor landing, reflecting the cottage’s former two-cottage arrangement and giving scope for reconfiguration.
The property is sold freehold with immediate vacant possession and is well placed for Melton Mowbray amenities, local schools and road links to Leicester, Nottingham and Grantham. Energy rating C is favourable for a house of this age, and the plot size is the main attraction for buyers seeking equestrian, smallholding or large-family outdoor space.
Important: the cottage requires modernisation and some upgrading, with dated internal finishes throughout and signs of wear in living areas (carpets, fixtures). The seller has reflected this in the price guide. Solid brick walls have internal insulation and buyers should budget for planned improvements and a full survey to confirm condition and any remedial work.
