Lutterworth Road, Bitteswell, LE17 4RX

Tucked away in the heart of the highly regarded South Leicestershire village of Bitteswell, this charming semi-detached cottage is a wonderful example of a period home that combines character, warmth and modern-day practicality.

Enjoying a particularly attractive position with views towards the handsome 15th-century St Mary's Church, the property has been extensively improved and refurbished by the current owner and is now offered for sale with the added benefit of no upward chain.

From the moment you step inside, there is a real sense of character, with the welcoming reception and dining hall featuring attractive half-height wood panelling, oak shelving with feature lighting and views stretching through to the rear of the property.

The generous lounge is a lovely, comfortable space with a bay window overlooking the front and a feature fireplace with a decorative log burner, while the refitted breakfast kitchen provides a sociable and practical heart to the home.

There is plenty of room for everyday dining, with a range of wall and base units, space for a cooker and further appliances, as well as a charming ornamental fireplace with oak mantle.

Upstairs, there are two good-sized double bedrooms, both retaining period charm, with the principal bedroom featuring a particularly attractive Victorian-style fireplace.

The refitted bathroom is well appointed and complemented by a useful separate utility room, providing additional storage and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The property benefits from a Worcester Bosch combination boiler installed in 2021, with the remainder of its transferable 10-year guarantee, as well as Hive smart heating controls and smart thermostatic radiator valves.

Outside, the property has a surprisingly private feel. The front garden is enclosed by a wall and laid with decorative slate, mature shrubs and roses, providing an attractive approach to the cottage.

To the rear is a low-maintenance, south-facing courtyard garden, ideal for enjoying the sunshine and making the most of the outdoor space without the upkeep of a large lawn.

Two useful brick-built outbuildings and a log store provide excellent additional storage, with the larger outbuilding benefiting from power, lighting and water and the smaller having lighting connected.

There is also a rear gate providing convenient access onto Manor Road.

The current owner has carried out a number of important improvements during their ownership, including a new roof in 2021, with approximately 15 years remaining on the transferable guarantee, updated drains and sewers in 2022 and updated electrics, with a recent EICR available.

The property is also offered with no onward chain, allowing for a potentially straightforward move.

Bitteswell itself is a much-loved village, offering a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently placed for access to Lutterworth and the surrounding countryside, with excellent road links providing access to Leicester, Market Harborough and beyond.

For those looking for a home with genuine period charm, a lovely village setting and the reassurance of substantial improvements already carried out, this is a property that deserves to be viewed.

The combination of character, manageable outdoor space, useful outbuildings and the attractive outlook towards St Mary's Church makes this a particularly appealing cottage and early viewing is highly recommended.
