5 bedroom house for sale
Situated on Main Street in the historic village of Cadeby, this distinguished five-bedroom cottage, once the village post office, presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a home with character and historical significance. The original post office sign, still located in the ground floor cloakroom, serves as a delightful nod to the property's past.
The cottage offers approximately 1,787 sq. ft. of flexible living accommodation, with the potential for multi-generational living. A key feature is the sizable 'secret' garden, providing a private and tranquil outdoor space. A balcony affords countryside views, an ideal spot for morning coffee or an evening drink.
Cadeby itself is a small, quiet village in a conservation area, with a rich history dating back to the Doomsday Book. The village has a strong sense of community, known for its annual church fete and its link to Reverend Teddy Boston, the inspiration for the 'Fat Clergyman' in the beloved Thomas the Tank Engine books. For local amenities, the area is well-positioned for easy access to nearby towns, including the historic Bosworth Battlefield, with wider amenities available in Hinckley and Market Bosworth.
For commuters, the property provides excellent access to major road networks, including the M1, M42, and M69, offering convenient travel to Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingham.
