Melton Road, East Langton, LE16

Station Cottage is an attractive and characterful former Station Master’s home, believed to date back to around 1896. This charming property has been sympathetically extended over time to offer the comforts of modern living while retaining a wealth of original features. Presented in excellent cosmetic order throughout, the home has been lovingly maintained and is ready to move straight into.

The accommodation is both spacious and thoughtfully arranged, with a welcoming entrance hall featuring quarry tiled flooring and an understairs storage cupboard. A cosy snug with a cast iron multi-fuel burner provides a warm, homely atmosphere and leads through to a beautifully appointed kitchen, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, an integrated dishwasher, and an electric range-style cooker. Beyond the kitchen is a practical utility/boot room and a formal dining room—ideal for family meals or entertaining guests.

Further ground floor accommodation includes a study, guest cloakroom, and a wonderful dual-aspect lounge with exposed ceiling beams, a wood-effect floor, and an exposed chimney breast with a contemporary gas log burner (which can be adapted for multi-fuel use).

Upstairs, the first floor offers three comfortable double bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom, while the two remaining bedrooms also have fitted storage and retain original cast iron fireplaces. These are served by a stylish and modern shower room.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a stunning southwest-facing garden. The generous plot includes a beautifully maintained lawn, mature, established borders, a brick-built garden store, and a block paved driveway offering ample off-road parking.

A particular highlight is the detached double garage with an electric roller door, which incorporates a self-contained one-bedroom annexe. The annexe includes a ground floor kitchen, with a first floor lounge, shower room, and a spacious double bedroom featuring a Juliet balcony—perfect for guests, multi-generational living, or potential home office use.

In addition, the property benefits from owned 11kW solar panels and an 8kW battery storage system, installed in 2023, providing an excellent energy-efficient solution and helping to reduce utility costs.

Railway Cottage enjoys a peaceful setting just outside the sought-after village of East Langton, with Market Harborough close by offering excellent amenities and rail links. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home full of charm and flexibility in a wonderfully accessible location.
