Description

Nestled along a sought-after lane in Rothley, this Grade II listed cottage represents a unique investment opportunity with significant renovation potential. Accessed via a tree-lined driveway, the property offers a serene and secluded atmosphere while being conveniently close to local amenities. The cottage is designed on a single level, showcasing original features such as an inviting reception area with an arched window that frames charming garden views. The separate dining hall enhances the entertaining space, and the kitchen, complete with exposed beams and direct garden access, has ample room for informal dining. Three generously sized double bedrooms provide flexible accommodation options alongside a family bathroom. Outside, both front and rear gardens enhance the overall appeal of the property, complemented by a private driveway suitable for two vehicles and a detached garage featuring a slate roof that complements the cottage's historical charm. Dating back to around 1800 as part of the former Rothley Temple Estate farm buildings, this home carries rich historical significance within Rothley Garden Suburb. While currently requiring modernisation throughout, this property offers immense potential to blend its period character with contemporary comforts. Rothley itself combines picturesque country living with essential conveniences including shops, cafes, and reputable schools. Proximity to beautiful parks and forested areas provides abundant opportunities for outdoor activities, while excellent transport links make commuting straightforward. This rare opportunity to transform a historically rich property into your dream home should not be overlooked.
