GENERAL
A charming Victorian cottage located in the heart of Desford which is being sold with no upward chain. The cottage has been improved with great sensitivity and style over the years with great care being given to preserve the original character. The beautifully styled accommodation briefly includes on the ground floor a charming dining room with a fireplace, a sitting room with wood burning stove and breakfast kitchen. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms (one connecting) and a family bath/shower room. Outside there is a pretty cottage garden heavily stocked with flowers and shrubs to provide colour throughout the year. There are views from the garden towards St Martin's Church.

LOCATION
Desford is a thriving village with a wide range of facilities including Bosworth Academy, rated as outstanding by Ofsted, a primary school, Nusery, doctors' surgery, dentist and various sports clubs. Desford is on a regular bus route to Leicester and there is excellent access to the motorway network via the M1 and M69. The historic town of Market Bosworth home to the Dixie Grammar School lies to the West.

THE COTTAGE
The Victorian pine doors throughout the cottage all have new Victorian door furniture and fingers plates. "Little Green" and "Farrow and Ball" paint brands have been used and they have recently plumbed in lead-free water pipes. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and the owners as follows. Front door opening into the dining room.

DINING ROOM 4.14m x 3.68m (13'7" x 12'1")
This is a charming room with boarded floor. There is a fireplace constructed of reclaimed bricks with an exposed brick chimney breast, log storage and cupboards to either side. There is a sash window, cornicing to the ceiling, picture rail and door to the inner hall.

INNER HALL
With understairs storage cupboard.

SITTING ROOM 4.09m x 3.71m (13'5" x 12'2")
This is a delightful room with a fireplace housing a wood burning stove and original built in Victorian pine cupboards with drawers to one side. The Victorian style period lighting is from "Broughtons" and the walls are painted with "Farrow and Ball" paint. There is traditional radiator, coving to the ceiling, a large window overlooking garden and opening into the breakfast kitchen.

BREAKFAST KITCHEN 4.52m x 2.21m (14'10" x 7'3")
The kitchen area is fitted with a comprehensive range of timber base and wall units with painted fronts "Farrow & Ball Eggshell" with heavy solid oak work surfaces and upstands. There is a Belfast sink, housing for a washing machine, built-in "Bosch" dishwasher and the boiler, which has recently been replaced, is discreetly housed in one of the wall units. In the breakfast area there is exposed brickwork to the wall, flagstone "Travertine" tiling to the floor with electric under floor heating. A stable door opens from the kitchen into the courtyard.

ON THE FIRST FLOOR
An enclosed staircase rises from the sitting room to the landing. Opening off the landing are the bedrooms and bathroom.

BEDROOM ONE 4.32m x 3.61m (14'2" x 11'10")
An impressive room with period ornamental fire surround, timber boarded floor and traditional radiator.

BEDROOM TWO 3.68m x 3.53m (12'1" x 11'7")
There is a large window overlooking the garden, fitted cupboards and a pretty cast iron fire surround, timber boarded floor and exposed brickwork to one wall. Connecting door to bedroom three.

BEDROOM THREE 3.61m x 2.64m (11'10" x 8'8")
A wonderful room overlooking the garden. There is exposed brickwork to one wall and an impressive range of "John Lewis" fitted cupboards with drawers and lots of hanging space. This room makes a superb home office and, in our opinion, it would be reasonably straightforward to create a passageway through Bedroom Two, so there are, in effect, three separate bedrooms. Central heating radiator.

BATHROOM 3.05m x 2.31m (10' x 7'7")
There is a suite comprising a panelled bath, wash hand basin and lavatory, shower cubicle with tiling to the splashback areas. Central heating radiator.

OUTSIDE
Double doors open onto a covered entrance in which the present owners have some storage.

THE GARDEN
There is a stunning cottage garden with views towards St Martins Church. The gardens are heavily stocked with flowers, typical of a cottage garden including Lilies and Irises, Fox Gloves and Giant Poppies. There is also a mature Wisteria and fruit trees. At the end of the garden there is a terrace and a traditional brick built storage building. Adjoining the cottage, there is a lovely sheltered seating area.

RIGHT OF WAY
It should be noted that there is a right of way favouring the neighbouring property, across the back of the cottage.
