2 bed cottage for sale

Smeeton Road, Kibworth Beauchamp LE8

A charming and historical two-bedroom old weavers cottage, nestled in the heart of Kibworth set within walking distance of local shops, cafés, and amenities. This characterful home has been sympathetically updated to enhance it’s original features, including exposed timber beams, solid oak woodwork, and cast iron fireplaces. The handsome row of cottages dates back to the early 19th century and are notable for their unusually larger first floor windows, a design feature that would be common when originally intended to accommodate knitting frames on that floor, reflecting the area's historical involvement in the framework knitting industry, as weavers cottages.

Stepping inside, you are greeted by a cosy living room, where the warmth of an open log fire takes centre stage, framed by exposed ceiling beams and built in cupboards. Located at the rear of the property is the bespoke kitchen which has been thoughtfully designed, featuring a Belfast sink, solid oak worktop surfaces, a range of fitted cabinetry, and an electric oven with hob. Plumbing for a washing machine is under the worktop and space for a fridge freezer lies beneath an oak staircase leading to the first floor. There is also a window and stable door to the rear, both overlooking the garden.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is positioned to the front, of excellent size with a lovely aspect over greenery. It enjoys an exposed brick chimney breast with feature fire, solid wood flooring, and built-in wardrobes. A second bedroom is at the back overlooking the garden with airing cupboard housing the combination boiler. A tastefully refitted shower room has been carefully thought out and completes the internal accommodation.

Outside, a passageway leads through gated access onto the courtyard garden which offers a tranquil setting with low-maintenance planting and a charming patio to the bottom, ideal for al fresco dining or entertaining. A further outbuilding provides excellent storage.

This characterful home offers an excellent opportunity for any first time buyer, investor or downsizer and offers no onward chain.
