<p>A Characterful Village Cottage with Beautiful Church Views, South-Facing Garden & No Onward Chain</p><p>Tucked away in the heart of the highly regarded South Leicestershire village of Bitteswell, this beautifully presented two-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers a wonderful blend of period character, thoughtful modern improvements and everyday practicality. Enjoying a particularly attractive outlook towards the handsome 15th-century St Mary’s Church, the property has been extensively improved by the current owner and is offered for sale with no onward chain.</p><p>Stepping inside, the home immediately delivers a sense of warmth and character. The welcoming reception and dining hall features attractive half-height wood panelling, oak shelving with feature lighting and views through to the rear, creating a distinctive entrance to the property.</p><p>The generous lounge provides a comfortable and inviting living space, with a bay window overlooking the front and an attractive feature fireplace with decorative log burner. The refitted breakfast kitchen forms the sociable heart of the home, combining traditional character with modern practicality. There is ample space for everyday dining, a good range of wall and base units, space for a cooker and further appliances, together with a charming ornamental fireplace and oak mantle.</p><p>Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both retaining the character expected of a period cottage. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, featuring an attractive Victorian-style fireplace. The refitted bathroom is stylishly appointed, while a separate utility room provides valuable additional storage and dedicated space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.</p><p>The property has also benefited from a significant programme of improvements, offering peace of mind to the next owner. These include a new roof installed in 2021, with approximately 15 years remaining on the transferable guarantee, updated drains and sewers in 2022 and updated electrics, with a recent EICR available. The Worcester Bosch combination boiler was installed in 2021 and retains the remainder of its transferable 10-year guarantee. The property also benefits from Hive smart heating controls and smart thermostatic radiator valves.</p><p>Outside, the cottage has a surprisingly private and manageable feel. The enclosed front garden is laid with decorative slate and complemented by mature shrubs and roses, creating an attractive approach to the property. To the rear is a south-facing courtyard garden, providing a lovely spot to enjoy the sunshine while keeping maintenance to a minimum. Two useful brick-built outbuildings and a log store provide excellent additional storage, with the larger outbuilding benefiting from power, lighting and water, while the smaller has lighting connected. A rear gate also provides convenient access onto Manor Road.</p><p>Bitteswell is a much-loved village, offering a peaceful setting surrounded by attractive countryside while remaining conveniently positioned for Lutterworth and excellent road connections towards Leicester, Market Harborough and beyond.</p><p>For buyers looking for a home with genuine period character, an attractive village setting, a south-facing garden, useful outbuildings and a substantial programme of improvements already completed, this charming cottage deserves to be viewed. The combination of its character features, manageable outdoor space, attractive outlook towards St Mary’s Church and no onward chain makes this a particularly appealing village home.</p><br/>EPC Rating: D
