3 Bedroom Cottage

Primrose Cottage, Melton Road, Burton-on-the-Wolds

A beautifully restored three-bedroom period cottage combining original character, high-quality contemporary finishes and a south-facing garden, set in the heart of the sought-after village of Burton-on-the-Wolds.

Primrose Cottage is a distinctive and thoughtfully renovated home, offering an exceptional balance of period charm and modern comfort. Exposed beams, brickwork and a log-burning stove celebrate the cottage’s heritage, while the stylish kitchen, underfloor heating and contemporary bathroom make it perfectly suited to modern living.

The property also benefits from off-road parking, a versatile study and a private south-facing rear garden.

The Accommodation

The welcoming entrance hallway provides access to the main living accommodation, a ground-floor W/C and stairs leading down to a useful lower-ground-floor study. This flexible room would be ideal as a home office, hobby space or occasional guest area. There is also space for a discreet utility area alongside the central heating boiler.

The sitting room is a warm and inviting space, centred around a characterful log-burning stove. Exposed ceiling beams enhance the cottage feel, while the front-facing window allows plenty of natural light into the room.

From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area, creating an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen has been carefully designed with quartz work surfaces, a generous selection of wall and base units and a breakfast bar incorporating integrated wine storage. A Rangemaster cooker and integrated fridge/freezer are included, while underfloor heating provides additional comfort.

French doors open directly onto the rear garden, filling the room with natural light and creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Upstairs

The first-floor landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes.

The stylish family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary four-piece suite comprising a walk-in shower, separate bath, wash basin and low-flush W/C. A fitted television provides an additional finishing touch.

Outside

To the front, the property is set behind an attractively landscaped frontage and benefits from off-road parking for one car.

The private rear garden enjoys a desirable south-facing position and has been thoughtfully arranged with a paved patio and lawn. It offers an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or relaxing during the warmer months. Outdoor taps are also provided.
