Property description & features
- Grade II Listed cottage
- Delightful setting
- 2 bedroomed cottage
- 2 bedroomed annexe
- Approx. 2 acre paddock
- Beautiful gardens
A delightful Grade II Listed 17th Century detached stone cottage of immense charm and character, together with a refurbished two bedroomed cottage and a two bedroomed annexe enjoying views over extensive gardens and paddock land of approximately 2.47 acres (1.001 hectares) in total, located in the heart of the picturesque and highly desirable Welland Valley village of Medbourne.
Waterfall Cottage has been sympathetically refurbished, retaining a wealth of period features including beams, inglenook fireplaces, beamed ceilings and oak cabinets, and includes three charming reception rooms, a farmhouse living kitchen, three double bedrooms each with en-suite bath or shower rooms. Adjacent to the cottage is a ground floor annexe consisting of two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, together with an attractive sun lounge overlooking the courtyard.
On the other side of the courtyard is a superb self-contained annexe, beautifully appointed including a spacious lounge with cast iron log burner and French double doors leading out to the gardens, open plan to a fully fitted kitchen with adjoining utility room. Also to the ground floor is a double bedroom and shower room. On the upper floor off a central landing is a further double bedroom and en-suite bathroom. There is a delightful garden immediately to the rear of the cottage.
Both the self-contained annexe and the annexe adjoining the main house have been used in recent years as bed & breakfast business, creating valuable income, but could be utilised for a variety of other uses, subject to planning. The property will be sold with vacant possession.
Outside there is gravelled parking within the courtyard, three beautiful garden areas, a summer house, various garden sheds and greenhouses, to the rear of which is a paddock extending to approximately 2 acres.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
