Description

General Description

Smiths Property Experts are favoured with instruction to market this exceptional Grade-II Listed detached cottage in the heart of the desirable Charnwood village of Quorn. The White House has been lovingly restored and modernised to an exceptional standard. The property dates back to circa 1658 and is understood to be one of the oldest buildings in the village. Heaped in character throughout and with an abundance of original period features, including timber beams, exposed stone and brickwork, and sliding sash hardwood windows. The walled gardens to the rear offer good privacy, and there is a gravel driveway with newly installed electrically operable gates to the right-hand side. This property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a fully restored fine period home in one of Leicestershire’s prime residential locations.

The Property

The accommodation is set across 2.5 floors. In brief, expect to find an entrance hall, a formal sitting room with a wood-burning stove, and an open-plan kitchen and a snug area that leads to a fully glazed dining area with direct garden access via French doors to the rear. There is also a home office/playroom. The kitchen has a high-quality finish, with in-frame shaker-style units, granite work surfaces and integrated appliances. Of note is the original fireplace with a wood-burning stove inset and stove to the side, and the original well in the dining/garden room, which is glazed with feature lighting.

Upstairs and accessed from the character-filled landings are five double bedrooms. On the first floor are three characterful double bedrooms, the family bathroom, and the guest suite with an en-suite shower room and two built-in wardrobes. On the second floor is the principal bedroom suite with a bathroom and dressing room. This space is flexible and may also suit accommodation for teenage children or a nanny.

The Outside

The property affronts Meeting Street, a sought-after and historic location in the heart of the village. To the right-hand side are electrically operable gates opening onto a private driveway that will home up to three good-sized vehicles. The rear gardens are landscaped and accessed from the main living accommodation to the rear. Lawned with a large paved seating terrace, the gardens are private and relatively low maintenance.
