Main Street, West Leake

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 large double bedrooms and a centrepiece ‘open-plan living kitchen’.
