Berridges Lane, Husbands Bosworth, LE17

A Charming Period Cottage with Versatile Annexe

Tucked away from the road and accessed via a private walkway, this charming period cottage offers a wonderful combination of character, modern comfort and exceptional versatility. Quietly positioned in the heart of the highly regarded village of Husbands Bosworth, the property is particularly well suited to those looking for a home that can adapt to changing family needs, with three bedrooms in the main house complemented by a separate annexe with its own shower room.

The annexe provides an especially useful additional space for families with teenagers who would appreciate a degree of independence, for those looking to accommodate a parent or other dependent relative, or simply for anyone wanting separate guest accommodation, a home office, studio or hobby space. This flexibility, combined with the character of the main cottage, makes the property particularly appealing for multigenerational living.

Dating from the pre-Georgian period, the cottage retains a wealth of character throughout, complemented by a number of significant improvements in recent years, including a complete new slate roof in 2024, a modernised kitchen and bathroom, and underfloor heating throughout the main accommodation.

The accommodation extends to approximately 1,191 sq ft and is arranged over two floors, with three bedrooms to the first floor, alongside the separate annexe and office, providing a level of flexibility that is rarely found in a period cottage.

The main house opens into the welcoming Kitchen/Dining Room, which combines modern fittings with a wealth of period charm, including exposed timber beams, a feature chimney breast with stone hearth and an attractive open staircase. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, integrated oven, hob, extractor and dishwasher, with plenty of space for a dining table. Underfloor heating adds to the comfort of this characterful space.

The Living Room is equally appealing, featuring reclaimed slate flooring, exposed character features and a feature multi-fuel burner with solid oak mantle. A generous storage cupboard provides useful additional space.

To the first floor are three bedrooms, including two good-sized doubles, together with a stylish modern bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and additional storage, while the bathroom has been updated with contemporary fittings and underfloor heating.

A particular feature of the property is the separate annexe, positioned away from the main accommodation and currently arranged as an additional bedroom/living space with its own shower room. Its independence makes it ideal for a teenager wanting their own space, a guest staying for longer periods or a dependent relative seeking some privacy while remaining close to the main family home. Alternatively, it could be used as a home office, studio, hobby room or additional living space, subject to any necessary permissions.

Alongside the annexe is a separate office, providing further dedicated workspace away from the main living accommodation. Together, the annexe and office create an unusually versatile arrangement, offering the flexibility to suit a wide range of family circumstances.

Outside, the property benefits from a delightful enclosed garden with areas of lawn and patio, mature planting and useful outbuildings, including a shed and an outside bar. The setting is a real highlight: set back from the road and accessed via a walkway, the property enjoys a remarkably peaceful and secluded feel despite being located close to the centre of the village.

Husbands Bosworth is a particularly attractive and well-regarded south Leicestershire village, offering a strong sense of community alongside a useful range of everyday amenities. The property is conveniently positioned for access to the village centre, with local shops, a pub, church and primary school all within walking distance.

The village is surrounded by attractive countryside and provides an appealing balance between rural village living and accessibility. Market Harborough is readily accessible by road, while the M1 and A14 provide excellent connections for those commuting further afield.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful period cottage with three-bedroom main accommodation and a genuinely separate annexe, offering an adaptable arrangement that could work particularly well for growing families, teenagers, multigenerational households or those simply wanting additional independent space. Combined with the separate office, secluded position, new roof and underfloor heating, the property offers a particularly versatile home in the heart of this popular village.
