An attractively refurbished 3/4 bedroomed brick and slate cottage of immense charm and character located in the heart of the highly sought after east Leicestershire village of Tugby.

Formerly two cottages built in the 19th Century, the property has been sympathetically renovated retaining a wealth of period features, and includes a dining hall with inglenook having cast iron fireplace with pine fronted cupboards to either side, a snug with attractive fireplace, and a spacious sitting room with brick inglenook fireplace and cast iron burner, together with exposed beams and window seats. The kitchen is fitted with a range of built-in units and appliances, and there is also a walk-in pantry, boot room with side door out and a recently refitted ground floor bathroom with shower over the bath.

On the upper floor off a spacious landing/occasional bedroom four, is a washroom/wc, inner landing with feature boarded floor and exposed beams with access to three well proportioned bedrooms.

Outside, to the rear of the house is a shared courtyard terrace, where there is also a covered log/tool storage area and brick outbuildings.

Accessed via a pathway and wooden gates, there is an extensive rear garden which is isolated from the main house enjoying views over paddock land. This area is mainly laid to grass, but has excellent potential for further landscaping.
