An attractive, spacious four-bedroom character cottage, nestled within this leafy east Leicestershire village.

Accommodation - The entrance porch features a striking stained-glass door which leads through to the hallway. Light spills through a large window above the stairs, while there is a handy cupboard for storage beneath the stairs.

The sitting room is situated to the left and feels spacious, yet cosy, with log-burning stove set within an exposed chimney breast flanked by bespoke shelves and cupboards to the recesses either side. Double French doors lead out to the patio terrace and pergola at the front. The dining room is just across the hall and enjoys a dual aspect with plenty of light filling the room. To the corner, a secondary staircase leads up, while through here you will find the kitchen which opens on to a breakfast area. Equipped with an extensive range of fitted wall and base units, you will find ample storage and plenty of work surface space. There is a range style oven, integrated dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer. There is access from the breakfast area through double doors to the garden beyond, while at the front you will find a lobby, which leads outside and through into the garage. Beyond the garage is the utility/boot room which is equipped with fitted units and has plumbing and space for a washing machine. The boiler room, tucked in the corner houses the oil-fired boiler as well as providing further storage space.

Upstairs a small landing provides access to a bathroom which features a three-piece white suite comprising bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin and two good sized double bedrooms, both featuring fitted cupboards/wardrobes and enjoying attractive views of the garden and leafy lane beyond.

Through the guest bedroom is a further bathroom which has "jack and jill" access to the second landing. The bathroom features a suite comprising spa-bath, WC and wash hand basin. The second landing, which can be accessed from the stairs leading up from the dining room, provides access to two further bedrooms, the smallest, currently being used as a study/home office and a separate shower room which features a walk-in shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside - To the side is a gated, blocked pave driveway providing off-road parking and leading to the garage. A gate to the side leads through the private, walled garden. Lovingly landscaped and enjoying a westerly aspect, it's the perfect spot for the whole family to enjoy, with a spacious lawn flanked by a generous paved patio terrace that provides space for al fresco dining and lounging in the sun.

Location - Skeffington is a thriving village with a strong sense of community with many high-quality individual homes of historical interest. The popularity of the area is a combination of east Leicestershire's rolling countryside, excellent schooling and convenient access to Leicester, Market Harborough, Oakham and Uppingham.
