Apple Tree Cottage, Quorn. Built 1908 – A charming period home in the heart of the village. Nestled in one of Quorn’s most sought-after and characterful streets, Apple Tree Cottage is a beautifully preserved early 20th-century home, brimming with period warmth and personality. One of just two original cottages, it enjoys a highly convenient position just a short stroll from the village centre, with its thriving café culture, boutique shops, and welcoming pubs — all while feeling quietly tucked away.
A Home of Character and Charm
Stepping inside, the sense of history is immediately tangible. The front reception room sets a welcoming tone with rich timber floors and feature fireplace — a space that effortlessly combines cottage charm with modern comfort. Beyond this, the second reception room offers a cosy snug lounge, centred around a log-burning stove set within an exposed brick hearth — the perfect retreat on cooler evenings.
The Heart of the Home
To the rear, the kitchen blends rustic warmth with functionality, featuring shaker-style cabinetry, Oak worktops, and natural slate tiled floors. There’s a clear sense of craft and continuity in the finishes, with a window overlooking the garden and thoughtful details that make everyday living both practical and enjoyable. A converted former outbuilding now serves as a utility room with WC, providing ideal space for laundry and storage.
Upstairs Accommodation
The first floor offers two generous double bedrooms, each beautifully presented and filled with natural light, plus a third single bedroom that’s perfect as a study or nursery. The family bathroom is well-appointed with modern tiling, a shower-over-bath, and a sleek vanity unit — contemporary yet in keeping with the home’s tone. From the landing, a pull-down ladder provides access to the loft room, currently arranged as an art studio and study — a versatile area ideal for creative or remote working pursuits.
A Garden Sanctuary
The rear garden is a true highlight — beautifully landscaped with mature planting, raised borders, and a variety of shrubs and trees that bring year-round interest. A paved patio area offers the perfect spot for summer dining and entertaining, while a laid lawn leads down to a large timber shed, offering storage or workshop potential. The garden feels private, peaceful, and lovingly curated — a green oasis in the heart of the village.
Location
Apple Tree Cottage sits within one of Quorn’s most desirable settings, moments from the vibrant village centre yet enjoying a tranquil atmosphere. The village itself is renowned for its strong sense of community, excellent local amenities, highly regarded schooling, and easy access to both Loughborough and Leicester — with convenient links to the A6 and mainline rail connections beyond.
