A Victorian Gem in the Heart of Quorn – A Must-See Home Full of Charm and Character

At first you may be mistaken that you have stepped back in time with this elegant Victorian home, dating back to 1878, perfectly blending period charm with modern convenience. From the moment you arrive, the freshly painted rendered façade (2024), complemented by block-paved parking and striking black wrought iron railings, sets an impressive tone. Inside, original features abound—from original mosaic Minton tiled flooring and sash windows to high ceilings, intricate picture rails, and beautiful 1878 internal wooden doors—making this a truly unique property, a modern home that beautifully captures the essence of its era.

Charming Interiors with Original Details

The welcoming hallway immediately showcases the home’s period charm, leading you through to a spacious extended breakfast kitchen that overlooks a private, wildlife-rich garden. The kitchen remains true to the home's heritage with oak cupboards, a deep larder, and modern integrated appliances, including a double oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and induction hob. French doors open out to the garden, while double doors lead back into the sophisticated reception rooms.

The reception space is thoughtfully divided into a formal dining area, complete with a stunning fire surround and brick hearth, and a cosy lounge with stripped wood flooring, a gas coal-effect fire, and a large bay window with shutters that flood the room with natural light.

Versatile Living Space Over Four Floors

The ground floor also benefits from access to a convenient cellar, which houses a well-planned utility area with plumbing for two appliances and a sink, alongside ample storage space.

The fabulous staircase leads to a half-landing where the magnificent family bathroom awaits. This luxurious space boasts a cast iron claw foot bath, double shower cubicle, high-flush WC, and traditional sink, all framed by charming wall panelling and accompanied by a generous airing cupboard.

On the first floor, the wide landing (which the current seller fell in love with at first sight) offers floor-to-ceiling storage that adds both functionality and charm. Three generously sized double bedrooms are found here, two of which feature stunning original cast iron fireplaces. One bedroom also retains its original wood flooring, hidden beneath the carpet.

The second floor offers a versatile space, ideal as a guest bedroom teenage retreat or principal bedroom. This bright and airy double room features exposed ceiling beams, two Velux windows, storage in the eaves, and a full en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath.

A Garden Sanctuary in a Prime Village Location

The rear garden is a true haven for nature lovers, with mature trees, abundant wildlife, and backing onto the grounds of Quorn Country Hotel for added privacy. Two patio areas provide perfect spots for morning coffee or evening wine, while a well-kept lawn and garden shed add practicality to this serene outdoor space.

This remarkable home is just a stone's throw from Quorn’s thriving village centre, offering easy access to local amenities while maintaining a peaceful, private setting. With its unique character, rich history, and beautiful surroundings, this is a property that simply must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
