This well-presented two-bedroom end cottage in Smisby combines village charm with contemporary comforts. The living room centres on a log burner and French doors that open onto a south-facing garden and patio — a bright, private outside space ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A bespoke fitted kitchen and built-in bedroom storage add practical, modern touches throughout.
The property sits in a sought-after rural hamlet with local nursery, village hall, pub and easy countryside walks on the doorstep. Commuters benefit from close road links to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, the A42 and A50, while nearby primary and secondary schools have Good Ofsted ratings. Off-street parking for two vehicles and the small, professionally landscaped garden with power and water increase everyday convenience and lifestyle flexibility.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the EPC is E and the main heating fuel is LPG (not mains gas), so running costs may be higher than mains gas alternatives. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, and the plot is small compared with typical suburban gardens. The house dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s and has cavity walls with partial insulation assumed — there may be scope for energy-efficiency improvements.
This home suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a low-maintenance, characterful cottage in an affluent rural community. It offers immediate move-in readiness with scope to add value by upgrading insulation, energy systems or broadband if desired.
