Squirrel Cottage, Lower Moor Road, Coleorton, Coalville

Full Description

Approaching the property, you’ll immediately appreciate its privacy, set back from the road and enclosed by mature walls and shrubbery. Passing through the arched entrance and into the hallway, a sense of warmth and homeliness welcomes you. The entrance hall is designed with practicality and elegance in mind, featuring two areas — one perfect for coats and shoes, and another currently home to a piano beneath exposed beams that reflect the property’s character.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room form the heart of this home. A stunning curved bay window floods the space with natural light, while bespoke cabinetry, quality stonework surfaces, and tiled flooring exude luxury. The kitchen includes a breakfast island, integrated double oven, dishwasher, electric hob with extractor fan, and stylish LED and under-plinth lighting. French doors open from the dining area to the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Adjacent to the kitchen is a well-appointed utility room with matching finishes, additional storage, and access to the rear garden, along with a convenient downstairs WC. The Kitchen, Dining room, Main Lounge all benefit from underfloor heating.

Leading from the kitchen is the main lounge — a beautifully bright and airy space with high-quality wood-effect flooring and twin sets of bi-fold doors that open onto the garden. The room features tasteful fitted cabinetry, a useful under-stairs cupboard, and is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The second reception room, accessed from the hallway, offers a contrasting atmosphere — a snug and characterful retreat with exposed beams, a box bay window, and an impressive inglenook fireplace housing a roaring log burner. This room exudes warmth and charm, making it a cosy haven for quiet evenings.

Upstairs, four generously proportioned double bedrooms await. Bedroom two features dual-aspect windows, fitted storage, and tasteful décor. Bedroom four is similarly well-appointed, with views over the rear garden. The stylish family bathroom includes a four-piece suite — a walk-in glass shower, vanity basin, WC, and a freestanding bathtub — all complemented by contemporary tiling, LED lighting and underfloor heating. Bedroom three enjoys a skylight window, panelled walls, and air-conditioning, providing both style and comfort.

The master suite is truly impressive, featuring dual-aspect windows, a skylight, fitted wardrobes, plush carpets, air-conditioning, and an en-suite shower room with luxury fittings, modern finishes and underfloor heating. Every bedroom has been thoughtfully designed to offer space, light, and individuality.

Outside, Squirrel Cottage enjoys a substantial wraparound plot with beautifully landscaped gardens. The private rear garden features rendered walls, a manicured lawn, raised sleeper beds with mature shrubs and trees, and a dedicated hot tub area. To the side, a gated driveway provides ample parking, along with a single garage and a converted outbuilding currently used as a gym — an ideal space for a home office or small business setup.
