3 bed cottage for sale

Long Lane, Billesdon, Leicester, Leicestershire LE7

Nestled at the end of a quiet dead-end lane in the sought-after village of Billesdon, this delightful three-bedroom cottage offers a wonderful blend of period character, modern improvements and peaceful countryside surroundings.

Believed to date back to 1858, the property retains a wealth of character, including attractive fireplaces and a log burner, while having been thoughtfully updated over the years to provide comfortable modern living.

The ground floor comprises a welcoming kitchen, lounge and useful storage space. The kitchen benefits from a range cooker, bespoke storage and a practical layout, while the lounge features beautiful wood flooring, creating a warm and inviting space with the log burner providing a cosy focal point.

To the first floor are three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite and attractive wood flooring. One of the bedrooms also features built-in storage, providing valuable additional space. A separate shower room serves the remaining accommodation, while bespoke storage has also been incorporated into the hallway.

The property has benefited from a number of improvements, including a new kitchen and boiler approximately five years ago, a new bathroom around seven years ago, and replacement radiators carried out over the last five years. The house has also been recently redecorated, allowing the new owner to move in and enjoy the home straight away.

Outside, the property benefits from a driveway providing parking for up to three cars. The garden enjoys a peaceful and private setting, with a retaining wall marking the boundary and established shrubs and flowers adding colour and interest. The garden has also previously been used as a productive vegetable garden, offering excellent potential for those with green fingers. The surrounding area has a lovely semi-rural feel, with open fields situated further up the lane, adding to the attractive setting.

The location is a real highlight. Positioned at the end of a quiet lane and close to open countryside, the property enjoys a tranquil village setting while remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities.
