3 Bed Cottage House For Sale Church Hill, Leicester, LE4

Smiths Property Experts offer to the market this most rare and interesting thatched cottage tucked away behind a private gated driveway in the heart of a conservation area. The property was historically part of a small working farmstead and was modernised and updated in the 1960s to create this special home.

The property affords a wonderful outlook over the Church and a beautiful collection of period and historic buildings within the conservation area of Birstall. There is a private and gated driveway and landscaped south-facing gardens to the rear.

This wonderful and unique home offers a blend of period features and stylish living spaces. The excellent head height across the ground floor is of note for this style of home, and all mains’ services are connected. The current owners have lovingly maintained and styled the property over the past two decades.
