A beautiful archetypal double fronted cottage occupying a deceptive established plot with wonderful southerly aspect to the front across neighbouring paddock, all located at the heart of this highly regarded and pretty edge of Vale village.

This beautiful home offers a wealth of character and features and has been sympathetically renovated over recent years with a great deal of thought and attention to detail in keeping with the original period home but combining the benefits of modern living.

The property offers two reception rooms both with attractive fireplaces and beamed ceilings, leading through into an inner hallway with access into a well proportioned open plan L shaped living/dining kitchen with bespoke units, corian work surfaces and integrated appliances. The kitchen is open plan to a dining area with exposed brick elevation and solid fuel stove with French doors leading out into a courtyard garden. In addition there is a useful utility room with cloakroom off and to the first floor there are three double bedrooms and the family bathroom which also gives Jack & Jill access into the master bedroom.

The property is tastefully decorated throughout in keeping with the period of the property and benefits from gas central heating and majority double glazed cottage style windows, all creating a wonderful homely atmosphere with a wealth of character.

The property occupies a deceptive plot, set back from the lane with initial shared driveway which leads to the private drive at the rear providing a generous level of off road parking and large detached double garage. A walled courtyard garden leads into the dining area of the kitchen and there is a further established well proportioned garden at the foot.

Viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.

Whatton lies on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir and has its own village hall. Further amenities can be found in the adjacent village of Aslockton including outstanding primary school, public house and railway station with links to Nottingham and Grantham.
