3 bed cottage for sale

Manor Road, Medbourne LE16

Arguably one of the best cottages to hit the market in Medbourne this year, this beautifully presented home sits on a truly special plot, backing directly onto rolling open fields. Dating back to the mid 1800’s, thoughtfully extended and offering three genuine double bedrooms, it blends generous living space with original period charm in a way that feels effortless. From the setting to the finish, Nevill Cottage is a rare opportunity in one of the area’s most sought-after villages.

Tucked away along Manor Road, this period cottage is full of warmth & character, lovingly cared for by the present owners, the property offers a rare blend of period charm and the practicality of space.

From a pretty front storm porch entrance, you arrive in to the welcoming dining reception, with high quality carpentry forming bookshelves, a slate floor, attractive timber staircase and large opening through to the living room, setting the tone for the homes quality and practicality really well. The living room itself is an inviting space centred around a wood-burning stove beneath a timber mantle. Both of these rooms enjoy aspects to the front and are the original reception rooms of this old workers cottage.

The living kitchen diner spans across the rear of the property and is therefore of excellent size! Offering a fantastic main room, especially for families, the space is equipped with a classic Aga, parquet flooring, various freestanding units offering ample worktop space, a character cupboard providing further storage, and sink overlooking the garden. There's also a handy boot room / utility with downstairs cloakroom tucked to the side where this space provides access into the extensive gardens.

Upstairs, you will find three generous double bedrooms which offer peaceful retreats. Each room enjoys its own unique outlook, whether it's across rolling fields to the rear or over a neighbouring paddock at the front adorned with blossom and fruit trees. The main bathroom is a standout feature, both this and the main bedroom enjoy vaulted ceilings being in the extension. Bright and spacious with a free standing bathtub and separate shower.

Moving outside, this is where the property really stands out from anything else on offer within Medbourne of late. To the front, it’s neat and cottagey with roses and shrubs. But it’s the rear garden that steals the show, deceptive in size, beautifully planted, and with plenty of room to unwind or entertain. There are fruit trees, raised beds, and at the far end, a west-facing summer house that’s ideal simply for use as a garden room or making use of its lighting / power as a home office. Directly beyond the garden as mentioned are the most spectacular views over rolling fields.

Living in Medbourne is something many from other nearby villages or the town of Market Harborough (just 7 miles away) strive for. It is one of the Welland Valley’s most sought after locations to live. Of course for the community within it, but centred around the amenities it offers such as it’s own store, reputable pub & restaurant, church and more. Being so close to the thriving town of Market Harborough with it’s direct access to London within an hour, also makes it a popular setting with commuters too.

What Our Sellers Say...

”We have loved living in Nevill Cottage, from spending summers enjoying the beautiful Welland Valley views to spending the winters cosied up by the woodburner. We’re incredibly lucky to have great facilities in Medbourne, with the Nevill Arms a short walk away. In the summer, we enjoy growing our own pears, apples, plums, damsons, raspberries and rhubarb.”
