Smithy Cottage is a deceptively spacious three-bedroom detached home in the heart of Pickwell, set on a large plot with private front and rear gardens. The property combines traditional red-brick cottage character with modern open-plan living: a dual-aspect living room with a feature fireplace, and a generous L-shaped kitchen/dining/living area that opens onto a patio. The 27 ft master suite with vaulted ceiling, dressing area and ensuite gives the house a distinctly roomy, comfortable feel.
Practical advantages include off-road parking, a gravel driveway and a double garage, plus a large utility room and downstairs cloakroom. The southerly-orientated front garden and rear patio create pleasant outdoor living spaces and strong kerb appeal in this quiet village setting between Oakham and Melton Mowbray.
Considerations: the property is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators and has an EPC rating of D, so heating costs may be higher than gas alternatives. Council Tax Band G reflects local tax levels. Double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. The house dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s, so buyers should note usual maintenance for a modern-rustic detached home and check specifics of fittings and services during survey.
