High-spec five-bedroom listed cottage in Quorn village, character and modern comfort.
Grade II Listed 1658 cottage with extensive period features
Set in the heart of historic Quorn, this Grade II Listed five-bedroom cottage blends 17th-century character with high-spec, newly modernised interiors. Exposed timber beams, original stonework and sliding sash windows have been retained while contemporary underfloor heating and a quality shaker kitchen create comfortable, usable family spaces.
Accommodation is arranged over 2.5 floors and centres on an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area that opens to a private walled garden. A separate formal sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a ground-floor office/playroom and generous bedroom suites — including a second-floor principal with dressing room — provide versatile space for family living, working from home or multi-generational use.
Outside, electrically operable gates open to a gravel driveway for up to three cars, and the rear garden is lawned with a paved terrace for low-maintenance outdoor living. The property’s prime village location places shops, pubs, good schools and Charnwood Forest within easy reach.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II Listed, which preserves its historic features but will restrict alterations and may complicate future works. The EPC is D and the property lies in Council Tax Band G, so heating and ongoing costs should be considered despite recent upgrades.
