2 bed cottage for sale

Cranoe Road, Glooston LE16

Set in the heart of the picturesque and incredibly peaceful village of Glooston, Brookfield Cottage is a beautifully presented two bedroom character home, sympathetically renovated with an interior designer’s eye for detail. From bespoke joinery and carefully chosen architectural hardware to the landscaped gardens overlooking open countryside, there is a lovely consistency to the finish throughout. A cottage with plenty of original charm, driveway parking and an equally impressive setting.

You arrive at the front of the plot, framed by a pretty cherry tree, where a pathway leads up to the original entrance door beneath its canopied porch. Stepping inside, you enter directly into the welcoming living room, centred around a feature fireplace housing a large cast iron log burner. Engineered oak flooring, a traditional style radiator and a decorative cottage alcove all sit comfortably alongside the soft, neutral colour palette, with coat paints used throughout the home.

Moving through to the inner hallway, there are stairs rising to the first floor and access off to the ground floor bathroom. This is fitted with a bath with a shower over, wash basin and WC, continuing the carefully considered presentation found elsewhere.

To the rear, the kitchen occupies a sizeable extension, with views out towards the garden and countryside beyond. Howdens cabinetry is complemented by oak worktop surfaces and engineered oak flooring, with an integrated fridge, freezer, washer dryer and dishwasher keeping the space practical and neatly finished. There is also a breakfast bar, whilst a quaint stable door opens directly onto the garden.

Heading upstairs, the landing provides access to two bedrooms, both enjoying outlooks over the surrounding countryside. The main bedroom sits to the front, where bespoke fitted wardrobes by Interiors By Design are finished with Corston architectural hardware. Morris & Co wallpaper, Rowen & Wren door hardware and a traditional style radiator add further detail. To the rear is the second bedroom, a single room which also lends itself well to use as a dressing room or home office.

Bespoke double glazed wooden windows by Paul Felton Joinery are a sympathetic addition to the cottage.

When outside, the garden is every bit as considered as the interior. Rising in carefully landscaped tiers, this mature, southerly facing space combines established planting with terraced seating areas, offering different places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. At the top, a sun terrace makes the most of the views straight out over open fields and the rolling Leicestershire countryside. A particularly peaceful spot, and a fitting extension of the home itself.

Glooston offers a lovely sense of village life, with countryside walks on the doorstep and a welcoming community centred around local events and the village hall. Market Harborough is within a short drive for a wider range of shops, restaurants and amenities, whilst Kibworth and Great Glen offer further options nearby including fantastic schooling.

A home where the care taken by the present owners is evident in every room, and one best appreciated in person.

“Living here has felt like an absolute privilege.
