About this property
Beautiful, renovated 1 Bedroom Cottage, with private yard. Great location.
A bright and warm cottage located within walking distance of the popular Oadby village.
A large double bedroom, a luxury duvet and extra blankets. A spacious bathroom with shower & bath.
A fully equipped kitchen with WM, microwave, air fryer & everything you need to cook & share a meal, make a fresh coffee and enjoy a glass of wine.
The small & cosy lounge has new stylish decor, sofa, Smart TV and a selection of books, puzzles and board games.
There is a small private yard to the rear, with table & chairs and line.
It’s a cute and compact cottage dating back to 1860s.
Ideal for a single person or couple wanting to rest, take a break, or live in-between house sales; it’s warm, clean, cosy, and convenient to the village and wider community of Oadby.
It’s a great location for Oadby village, which is just a short walk. The A6 (London Road) and is on the hospital hopper bus route too.
Stylish fresh decor, with soft furnishings to add a little extra and everything we think you’ll need to not worry about anything else, with a few home comforts as well.
Please note, The stair case is typically narrow for this period property and may not suit those with accessibility constraints.

About the host
Hosted by rebecca smith
Welcome to Leicestershire. As your local host, I extend a warm invitation to experience the heart of England in two distinct properties: a quaint cottage nestled in Oadby and a lodge styled, duplex house in vibrant Wigston.
With over three years of hosting experience, I take pride in curating spaces that exude comfort and style. Whether you're seeking a tranquil retreat or a modern urban escape, both properties offer a unique ambiance designed to cater to your needs.
Beyond hosting, my passions lie in interiors and creating inviting spaces that feel like home. Each room is thoughtfully adorned with touches of character, reflecting my love for design and attention to detail.
When I'm not welcoming guests, you'll find me strolling through the picturesque countryside with my faithful canine rescue dog CoCo or enjoying quality time with my two children; a curious 10-year-old son and an adorable 3-year-old daughter. Leicestershire offers endless opportunities for exploration, from charming village walks to family-friendly attractions, ensuring a memorable stay for guests of all ages.
Whether you're craving tranquility in the countryside or seeking the buzz of city life, I'm dedicated to ensuring your stay is nothing short of the best.
