Tucked away within the idyllic grounds of The Grange and in the highly sought-after village of Woodhouse Eaves, this charming two-bedroom stone cottage dates back to the 1840s and was originally converted from former stables and groom’s quarters. Offered to the market with no upward chain, this unique home effortlessly combines period character with peaceful countryside living. Approached via a picturesque setting surrounded by nature, the property immediately evokes a sense of tranquillity. Internally, the accommodation is both spacious and inviting. The generous living room features attractive wooden flooring and a striking convection open fireplace with brick surround, creating a warm and cosy focal point. This leads seamlessly into a substantial conservatory, offering delightful views over the beautifully maintained courtyard garden. The kitchen diner has been thoughtfully designed to complement the character of the home, providing ample space for appliances including a washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge-freezer, alongside room for a dining table. A standout feature is the beautiful brick fireplace which forms a focal point of the room, offering period charm, though it is presently decorative only. From here, access is provided to the rear entrance hall, which benefits from a useful understairs storage cupboard and a traditional stable-style door. To the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive in size and includes a built-in wardrobe. Bedroom two is equally generous, enjoying a dual aspect that floods the room with natural light, and is fitted with built-in wardrobes, drawers, and shelving. A well-appointed shower room completes the first floor, featuring a large shower enclosure. Externally, the property continues to impress. The rear courtyard garden is a true highlight, brimming with cottage-style planting and offering a peaceful space to relax or entertain. There is off-road parking for two vehicles, along with a single garage. Retaining a wealth of original features throughout, including cast iron radiators, high ceilings, and deep windowsills, this delightful cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of true character in a serene countryside setting. The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, with local wildlife frequently spotted nearby (including recent sighting of muntjac deer!), further enhancing the appeal of this special home. Located within walking distance of Woodhouse Eaves, which is a quintessential Charnwood Forest village, highly regarded for its blend of charm and convenience. The village offers a range of local amenities including independent shops, cafés, and traditional pubs, along with well-regarded schooling. Surrounded by rolling countryside, scenic walks, and bridleways, it is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with Beacon Hill and Bradgate Park just a short distance away. Despite its rural feel, the village remains well connected, with easy access to Loughborough and Leicester, and convenient links to the M1 and East Midlands Airport, making it an ideal location for commuters seeking a balance between countryside living and accessibility.
