Comment:
LOCATION - The residence is a two-bedroom Victorian country cottage dating back to the late 1800s in a terrace of just three properties in a dark-sky area without artificial light pollution on a tranquil single-track lane running through undulating farmland midway between Waltham on the Wolds and Eaton in the Vale of Belvoir near Melton Mowbray (6 miles) and Grantham (10 miles). Grantham offers a high-speed rail link to London King`s Cross in 58 minutes. Nottingham is 20 miles north and Leicester 20 miles south. The terrace and a nearby former station-house were built by the Great Northern Railway to house railway employees. The mid-terrace brick and slate cottage comprises a lounge with restored original Victorian pine flooring, a professionally installed and maintained 9KW log-burning stove set into the chimney breast, and storage under the staircase. Adjacent is a large dining kitchen with terracotta tile floor, dual-fuel range-type cooker set into the former chimney breast, black granite countertops, a central island with a butler sink, dimmable LED down-lighters, and French windows and a stable door opening onto a large rear garden. There is a vanity room with basin, utility room housing the oil-fired central heating burner, washing machine, and a downstairs WC. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a master bedroom with built-in wardrobe, and a large family bathroom with roll-top bath, shower over, pedestal basin, toilet, and built-in airing cupboard. Additional features include double glazing, oil-fired central heating, included appliances, freehold tenure, no chain, rural location with commuter-friendly access and nearby village amenities.
