Details

A stunning example of a traditional cottage located in the highly regarded village of Barkstone Le Vale in the picturesque Vale of Belvoir. 

Formed from what was originally two adjoining cottages understood to date back to circa 1850, this lovely home is the epitome of an archetypal cottage with it’s sandstone, double-fronted exterior (to the front elevation) and pantile roof covering. 

The property is full of charm and character including tiled floors, exposed stone and ceiling beams. Accommodation is set out over ground and first floor levels with a high-standard of presentation. 

A PVCu ‘stable’ door opens up into a reception hallway, currently used as a dining room, where a staircase rises to the first floor and there are doors into both the lounge and the kitchen. The lounge has fitted storage and shelving, and a door provides access into the courtyard garden at the rear. A log burner recessed into the chimney forms a lovely focal point to the room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cupboards and has a built-in double oven, hob, an integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer. There are double doors that provide for secondary access to the front of the property and a further set of double doors lead out to the courtyard garden at the rear. The bathroom has a feature radiator, a freestanding roll-top bath, toilet, wash basin and a shower enclosure with a mains-fed shower fitting. 

Up on the first floor there are four bedrooms. Two are doubles and overlook the front, and both have built-in wardrobe/cupboard space. The remaining two bedrooms have delightful views over adjoining farmland and countryside at the rear of the property. One of these is currently used as a home office. 

Externally, there is a pleasant front garden with lawn but the gardens to the rear of the cottage are a particular feature of this stunning home. The courtyard garden with block-paved and slabbed seating area offers a good level of privacy and is somewhat of a sun trap during the summer months. A brick-built wall with a feature arch leads through into a further ‘walled’ style garden with shed, lawn and outlook over adjoining farmland. 

Previous owners secured planning permission for a new porch, two storey side and rear extension and a single storey rear extension although this was in 2015 and has therefore now lapsed. 

The sought-after village of Barkstone Le Vale has an active community and some fantastic amenities in and around it. The Chequers village ‘hub’ forms an important community facility where social nights, quizzes, coffee mornings, music events and pizza van nights are held. 

For those with young children the neighbouring village is home to Redmile Church of England Primary School; rated ‘Good’ with Outstanding features by Ofsted. 

Other notable amenities close by include fine-dining Restaurant Jericho and The Engine Yard at Belvoir Castle where local food, artisan shopping and the best of country living are celebrated. Of particular note there are The Grange Garden Centre and The Belvoir Farm Shop.
