Oakthorpe is perfectly placed for all the leisure pursuits that the National Forest offers, including Conkers, Hicks Lodge and Moira Furnace. There is excellent commuter links into Ashby, Burton on Trent and Swadlincote, with the M42 a stones throw away. A former mining village with a strong local community, you will enjoy an excellent local village primary school, village shop and more local facilities at nearby Measham about 1 mile away.
The cottage has been freshly carpeted and decorated throughout and comes with the benefit of no upward chain, solar panels, garden cabin and the very unusual benefit of double width driveway to the side providing off road parking for two vehicles.
An attractive cottage style door with an inset lead effect glazed pane opens to reveal the first of two well proportioned reception rooms. This dining or sitting room has wall mounted electric heater, and at the focal point is an open fireplace.
Next is an inner lobby with understairs storage cupboard and beyond that the second reception room which would make a lovely dining room or sitting room too. The focal point of this room is the solid fuel stove which provides hot water for the solid fuel partial central heating system, it has a surround with raised hearth and charming feature Alice in Wonderland themed tiled back.
From this reception room a glazed sliding barn style door opens into the kitchen which has base mounted cabinets running alongside three sides of the room with complementary work surfaces, inset stainless steel sink with mixer tap and ceramic tile splashbacks. There is space for a cooker, space for fridge freezer and uPVC double glazed window overlooking the side utility porch, and a large feature glazed skylight floods the kitchen with natural daylight. Leading off the kitchen is a utility porch with space for washing machine, windows to the rear and door taking you to outside.
Take the stairs to the first floor and you will find a corridor landing which has radiator and cottage style ledge and brace latched doors leading off. Bedroom one is a lovely size double bedroom with a front facing window. Bedroom two is again double in size and has the benefit of built-in wardrobes and a uPVC double glazed window offering views over the surrounding countryside. The bathroom is well appointed and has attractive tiling to two sides of the room, WC, pedestal wash hand basin and a wet room style shower area with electric shower above. From the window there are panoramic views over the surrounding countryside towards Moira and Donisthorpe in the distance.
Outside: Lovely cottage garden to the fore with driveway to the side providing double width off road parking. Gated side access leads onto the rear where there are long cottage style gardens sectioned into lawns with borders, vegetable garden area with raised beds and a lower area with expansive patio, greenhouse, storage shed and lovely views over the fields to the rear. The gardens have the benefit of a purpose built garden cabin room with multiple aspect windows and double French entrance doors. The room has light and power making an ideal garden room, hobby room or study. Adjoining the garden room is a useful garden store measuring 2.7 x 1.4 metres.
