4 bed cottage for sale

Station Road, Ullesthorpe, Lutterworth LE17

Engine Inn Cottage is a superb character home set in a delightful village location. Believed to be over 200 years old and formerly a local inn, the property is steeped in history and showcases an abundance of exposed timbers and charming period features throughout. The current owner has sympathetically restored the cottage, including renewing the windows and applying traditional lime wash, ensuring the home retains its authenticity while offering comfortable living. An internal viewing is essential to appreciate the quality and atmosphere of this unique property.

On entering the hallway, the sitting room is immediately to the right, featuring a log-burning fire and French doors that open onto the garden, creating a warm and inviting space. The ground floor also includes a separate dining room, a snug, and a downstairs WC. The kitchen opens into a relaxed dining area and provides access to the utility room. It features a quarry-tiled floor, ceramic sink, space for appliances, and a Rangemaster cooker, blending rustic style with practicality. The cellar, accessed externally, offers an exciting opportunity for conversion or additional storage.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four bedrooms, each with its own charm, along with a family bathroom that includes a freestanding claw-foot bath, adding to the cottage’s traditional appeal.

Externally, the property is a true gem. Set on a generous plot, it benefits from double gates to the side that lead to cobbled and gravelled parking, as well as the former stables, now used as a garage and workshop. The mature garden features established perimeter planting, a good-sized lawn, and provides a private and peaceful setting-ideal for outdoor enjoyment or simply relaxing in this wonderful village environment.
