Welcome to Puddlestep Cottage, a charming three-bedroom terraced home nestled in the heart of the sought-after village of Mountsorrel. This beautifully presented property offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with a rich sense of history, having been originally built to house quarry workers. The current owners have lovingly transformed it into a cosy retreat, blending modern comfort with timeless character. This delightful Cottage is ideal for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize. With its blend of quirkiness, charm, and convenience, we expect significant interest. Please contact us soon to arrange a viewing.
Inside, the ground floor begins with a welcoming lounge, where a large double-glazed window bathes the room in natural light. The original open fireplace adds a touch of vintage charm, perfect for cosy winter evenings. (Many neighbouring cottages have installed log burners, should you wish to do the same.) The room features tasteful décor, laminate flooring, and a handy fitted cupboard discreetly housing the property's services.
Adjacent to the lounge, a convenient under-stair cupboard offers useful storage before you move into the separate dining room. The dining room continues the same laminate flooring from the lounge and boasts a window overlooking the quaint rear yard. The former fireplace has been replaced by a stylish timber-clad feature wall, adding rustic charm. With ample space for a dining table, this room flows seamlessly into the galley kitchen.
The well-equipped kitchen offers plenty of storage and countertop space, with room for a fridge, freezer, washing machine, and free-standing oven. A wall-mounted Worcester Bosch combi boiler, tiled flooring, contemporary lighting, and a large window complete the space, creating a bright and functional area. Just beyond the kitchen, the newly fitted bathroom is a real highlight, featuring subway-style brick tiles, Victorian-inspired fixtures, a vanity basin unit, and tiled flooring.
Heading upstairs from the dining room, you’ll find the master bedroom to the right. This spacious, tastefully decorated room features wood-effect flooring, a built-in wardrobe with a charming exposed timber door, and a curved chimney breast that adds to the cottage's character. The front-facing window floods the room with light. Bedroom two, a cosy double, offers lovely décor and overlooks the rear of the property, while bedroom three is a versatile single room, ideal as a study, nursery, or walk-in wardrobe. Many homes on this street have converted this space into an upstairs bathroom, creating even more kitchen space below.
Outside, Puddlestep Cottage features a picturesque front garden with a stone wall, gate, and a charming path leading to the front door. A well-tended flower bed and a delightful climbing rose complete the idyllic scene. At the rear, you’ll find a landscaped yard, a parking space, and a garage across the shared drive. Beyond the garage lies a private, traditional English garden, thoughtfully divided into distinct areas. A beautiful archway leads to a secluded seating spot surrounded by mature shrubs, a small lawn, and a kitchen garden complete with raised vegetable beds and a compost pile – perfect for those with green fingers.
The village of Mountsorrel is becoming increasingly popular, with a variety of new and exciting businesses adding to its vibrant community. Within walking distance of the cottage, you’ll find Leicestershire’s only Michelin-starred restaurant, a Waitrose supermarket, the stylish Wilfred Pinsent’s Wine Bar, and serene riverside strolls along the Soar.
