An Idyllic and Generously Proportioned Period Home in the Heart of Seagrave. Welcome to Bakers Cottage—a truly exceptional early 19th Century Grade II listed period home, beautifully presented and brimming with character. Located in the picturesque and sought-after village of Seagrave, this charming four-bedroom cottage offers the perfect marriage of heritage and modern living. The property has been sympathetically updated over time, with a recent rear extension that has significantly enhanced its living space and functionality.
As you step through the front door, you’re immediately greeted by a delightful focal point—an original copper and cast iron range, a nod to the cottage’s historical past that sets the tone for the character and warmth found throughout. Combined with exposed beams and original architectural touches, this feature gives an immediate sense of place and authenticity.
The heart of the home is the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, which stretches an impressive 11 metres in length. Designed with family life and entertaining in mind, the space is fitted with a generous range of limed oak base and wall units, integrated white goods, and an original beamed ceiling that enhances the rustic charm. French doors open directly onto a private courtyard and the rear garden, offering seamless indoor-outdoor flow and an abundance of natural light.
To the front of the home, a cosy lounge retains its original wooden beams and features a solid fuel fireplace, making it the perfect spot to relax on colder evenings. Adjacent to this is a well-proportioned dining room with carpeted flooring and an open connection to both the lounge and kitchen for a sociable and flexible layout.
Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with four spacious double bedrooms, all filled with natural light and ideal for family living or home working. A smartly fitted family bathroom and separate shower room offer convenience and comfort, while a ground floor WC adds further practicality.
Outside, the cottage benefits from a private rear garden and charming courtyard, ideal for entertaining or enjoying a peaceful moment outdoors. There is ample off-road parking for several vehicles and a detached double garage with a workshop area—perfect for hobbies, storage, or potential future use as home office or to suit your personal requirement (subject to relevant consent).
Situated in the heart of Seagrave, one of Leicestershire’s most desirable villages, the property is ideally positioned for access to the A46 and major road networks, making it well suited for commuters. The village itself boasts a welcoming community, access to good schools, and is surrounded by beautiful open countryside.
In summary, Bakers Cottage offers: four double bedrooms, an outstanding 11m open-plan kitchen/living/dining space, an original copper and cast iron range, exposed beams, period features, gas central heating, two bathrooms, downstairs WC, a detached double garage with workshop/ potential home office, private rear garden, and off-road parking—all in a charming and accessible village setting. The home is available with NO CHAIN.
Bakers Cottage is a rare opportunity to live in a generously sized, character-filled home that has been lovingly updated for contemporary living, without compromising its historic soul. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting, space, and style on offer.
