Main Street, Barton Under Needwood, DE13

A CHARACTERFUL VILLAGE COTTAGE WITH PLENTY OF POTENTIAL AND A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA!

Our Agent Alice Says:

“If you’ve been looking for a home with original character, a great village location and the opportunity to make it your own, I think this three-bedroom cottage in the heart of Barton-under-Needwood is well worth a look.

Right on the High Street, you’ve got village shops, pubs, schools and everyday amenities close at hand, with some lovely walks nearby too. It’s a brilliant spot if you love village life and want to be able to step out of your front door and have everything within easy reach.

Inside, the hallway leads into a spacious living room where the wooden beams really give the space plenty of character. It’s one of those rooms where you can really picture the potential, bringing the original features to life and creating somewhere lovely to relax.

From here, you’ll find a useful utility area leading through to the kitchen. It’s a modest but modern space, with plenty of cupboard and worktop space, plus room for a small table if you fancy somewhere to sit with your morning coffee.

There’s also something a little different about this home. A door from the hallway, currently boarded up, originally led into a further reception room. This space is now used by a small business, creating an opportunity to generate rental income or perhaps even run a business of your own. If you’d rather bring the room back into the main house, the original opening is still there, so there’s scope to explore that option too.

Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious double bedrooms, making this a practical layout for couples and families. There’s also a family shower room, which, along with the kitchen, has been modernised in more recent years.

Outside, your own outdoor space is just a short walk away, tucked behind some beautiful neighbouring cottages. Enclosed by fencing, it’s a lovely little blank canvas. There’s plenty of scope to make it your own, whether that means creating a garden to enjoy on sunny days, somewhere to entertain friends or simply a peaceful spot to escape to.

What I really like about this cottage is how much it has to offer beyond the obvious. You’ve got a High Street location in a lovely village, original features that give the home real character, three bedrooms, a separate outdoor space to make your own and the added possibility of a business or rental opportunity. There’s work to do, but for the right buyer, this could be a really rewarding project with the potential to create something special.”

Our Sellers Thoughts:

“The property has been in the family for over 75 years and I have lived here over 50. The time has come for me to down size and to relocate to be near my family in Cornwall.
It’s a wonderful family home with three good sized double bedrooms, ideal for a growing family. The cottage offers buyers the potential to put their own mark on it.
Location is fantastic, close to the local Co op, chemist, GP surgery and John Taylor high school. Barton Marina is only a short walk away and there’s lots of local walks for families with pets.”
