Summary - 90-92, Main Street, Cossington LE7 4UW
Four double bedrooms plus walk-in dressing room and generous attic potential
A substantial period cottage on Main Street, Cossington, combining character features with family-friendly living space. The house offers four bedrooms, an extended farmhouse-style kitchen, conservatory with underfloor heating and a mature south-facing walled garden ideal for children and entertaining. Original features — exposed beams, cast-iron log burners and oak doors — give the house warmth and charm while the sizeable attic and walk-in dressing room present clear scope for adaptation (subject to consents).
Practical strengths include gas central heating, double glazing, mains services and freehold tenure. The property sits in a very low-crime, affluent village close to a primary school rated Good and several respected independent schools, with convenient road links to Leicester, Nottingham and the M1. A council-run free car park opposite plus on-street parking make parking feasible despite no formal allocated space.
Notable issues are set out plainly: the EPC rating is D and the original solid brick construction is assumed to have no cavity insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements and retrofit insulation are likely if you want lower running costs. There was slight surface water ingress at the front in recent years linked to a council drain failure; flood barriers were installed as a precaution but addressing the external gullies remains outside the property’s control. Broadband is available via fibre but reported speeds may be slow.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking character with room to grow — someone who values original detail and a large garden and is prepared to invest modestly in energy upgrades and cosmetic updating to realise the property’s full potential.
