General Description
Smiths Property Experts are favoured with instruction to market this beautifully extended and renovated former working cottage set in private grounds extending to circa 1/3 of an acre in the sought-after village of West Leake. The property enjoys far-reaching views to the front and rear across beautiful open countryside, with three double bedrooms and a centrepiece ‘open-plan living kitchen’.
The Property
Expect to find accommodation comprising, in brief, an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first-floor landing, a sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a boot/utility room, a downstairs WC, and a wonderful centrepiece kitchen, dining, and living area with direct garden access. Upstairs are three double bedrooms. There is a beautiful four-piece family bathroom with a walk-in shower and slipper bath, and the main bedroom has en-suite facilities.
The Outside
The property occupies wonderful grounds extending to circa 1/3rd of an acre, with mature front and rear gardens. There is a generous private gravel driveway with a gated area to the right-hand side. This currently leads to a lovely seating area directly to the side of the main house. There are two substantial timber outbuildings, one a studio/craft room which is insulated and has power and plumbing, and the other a workshop, both extremely useable spaces. The Location
West Leake is a pretty and well-thought-of village settlement in South Nottinghamshire. There is a lovely public house, The Star, and the village has a beautiful street scene and stunning protected countryside around. Either way, just 1 mile by car are the villages of Sutton Bonington and East Leake. East Leake hosts many local amenities, including a doctor's surgery, a supermarket, and a bustling Main Street with eateries and cafés.
There is excellent local schooling at primary and secondary levels, and commuter access to Nottingham, Leicester, and Birmingham is excellent via the M1/M42 motorway link. East Midlands airport is 5 miles away, and there is direct rail access to London St Pancras from Loughborough or East Midlands Parkway.
