2 bed cottage for sale

Long Street, Stoney Stanton, Leicester LE9

Full of character and charm, April Cottage is a true gem in the heart of Stoney Stanton.

Believed to date back to around 1830, this delightful home is steeped in history and is even thought to have once served the village as a sweet shop. Lovingly restored and beautifully presented by the current owners, it blends period features with modern comfort, making it an ideal first home or downsizing opportunity.

Accessed via a side gate, the cottage opens into a private garden of perfect proportions, with a mix of lawn and patio areas bordered by greenery – offering both seclusion and a welcoming outdoor retreat.

Step inside and you are greeted by a small entrance hallway with a handy storage cupboard for coats and shoes. To the rear lies a charming kitchen, fitted with a range of units, solid wooden worktops, a Belfast sink, and space for appliances, along with a stable door leading straight into the garden. The lounge is full of character, featuring a striking log burner fireplace, recently fitted traditional-style radiators, and exposed beams carried through to the staircase.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms. The master benefits from thoughtfully designed fitted wardrobes that complement the period feel, along with an original feature fireplace. The bathroom is a real highlight, finished to an excellent standard with a four-piece suite, including a roll-top bath and feature radiator.

Parking is available directly opposite the property in a council-owned car park, where the current owners comfortably park two vehicles.

Perfectly positioned close to the centre of Stoney Stanton, April Cottage offers charm, convenience and a wonderful sense of history – a truly special home waiting for its next chapter.
