Summary - Rectory Cottage, Main Street, Catthorpe LE17 6DB
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Characterful village home with garage, workshop and landscaped gardens.
Six bedrooms over three floors, flexible family accommodation
Rectory Cottage is a six-bedroom, three-storey period home believed to date from the 1700s, set in the desirable village of Catthorpe. The house retains strong character: exposed ceiling timbers, a large brick-built inglenook fireplace and a conservatory overlooking landscaped gardens. Recent ground-floor Karndean flooring and a bespoke hand-painted shaker kitchen add fresh, usable spaces while preserving period charm.
Practical benefits include a double garage, workshop, carport and block-paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles. The raised, well-planted rear garden and terrace provide private outdoor living, and there is an adjoining allotment area rented via the local church (with conditions on structures and a maintained boundary).
Buyers should note a few material points: the property has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, oil-fired central heating and double glazing installed before 2002. Council Tax Band E is above average and certain services and appliances have not been tested. Any purchaser should verify utilities, planning permissions for alterations and the exact extent and terms of the rented allotment area.
This house will particularly suit families or buyers seeking a flexible, characterful home in a quiet village with good motorway and rail links. It offers immediate comfortable living with scope for sympathetic improvement to increase energy efficiency and longer-term value.
