Nestled in the centre of a picture-perfect village surrounded by rolling countryside with local pubs, shops, and eateries nearby, this delightful holiday cottage is perfect for space-seeking couples and small families with two dogs in tow. If you don’t fancy cooking on the first night, then amble through the village to the local Michelin Star restaurant (1 mile) for an indulgent evening, on the way home, enjoy the tranquil scenery that you can call home for the next few days. For a nearby day out, head to the market town of Loughborough where you’ll find a popular theatre as well as wide range of buzzing pubs, restaurants and shops. For the ultimate family day out, visit the Great Central Railway (2 miles) and fill a day with all things steam trains and outdoor adventure. For more outdoor memories, set out on riverside walks within 200 metres of the property or discover Bradgate Park (8 miles) which is perfect for wildlife walks and cycling. For rainy days with the kids, head to the National Space Centre (8 miles).
Built in the 1830s, this cottage is full of character and charm. Original cottage features like the exposed brick walls and overhead wooden beams combine seamlessly with modern comforts, offering a delightful and spacious base for your Midlands getaway. The heart of the home is the open-plan lounger/diner which is bathed in natural light thanks to the many windows and the patio door that you can leave open to let the fresh countryside air flow in. In the lounge space, kick back in the sumptuous seating as you flick on the Smart TV and catch up on your favourite series or film. When stomachs start to rumble, walk through to the well-appointed kitchen in the next room and find all you need, including charming design features, to whip up a holiday feast, to be enjoyed back in the lounge/diner or out in the courtyard garden al fresco-style. When day turns to night, let the open fire in the lounge fizzle out and head upstairs where two charming bedrooms await. Both featuring calming, neutral tones and pretty views, the bedrooms include a double and a twin room. Serving the bedrooms and completing the interior is a stylish and well-equipped family bathroom featuring a roll-top bath for indulgent, post-walk soaks.
As well as the expansive outside space for parking at the front of the property, at the rear guests will find a peaceful courtyard garden equipped with outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ – the perfect ingredients for an al fresco breakfast or evening meal together. Enclosed and offering both sunny spots and shade, this is a perfect space to let the dogs unwind in peace.
