Are you a cat person? If so, please consider staying in our lovely home to take care of our sweet cats while we are away for 8 days.
We are in the pretty village of Billesdon, which is about nine miles east of Leicester and 11 miles north of Market Harbourough, just off the A47 heading to Uppingham and Peterborough. Billesdon is surrounded by lovely rolling farm land. In the village there are a number of ironstone and thatched roof buildings dating from the seventeenth century.
We are on a quiet no through road about 100 yards from the village green where there is a small shop, hairdressers and a doctors’ surgery. The local pub is another two hundred yards, where they serve good food at lunch time and in the evenings. The post office is just across from the pub. The parish church is a short walk further.
There is a bus that travels into Leicester/Uppingham regularly and stops at the village green.
Our property dates from around 1805 and was originally two terraced cottages that were converted into one. It has recently undergone substantial renovations and featured in the February 2021 issue of 25 Beautiful Homes. It has a small back garden with BBQ and large seating area, which we are currently renovating (we extended the sitting area and have yet to plant the top bit of the garden). Happy to share photos if interested.
Now for the best part--we have four cats, two boys and two girls. Our cats make us a truly international family, with two (Muscat and Bishop) from Australia and two (Abby and Rupert) from France. They get along well most of the time, but Rupert and Bishop have the occasional argument. They all have access to the garden as they like.
We hope to find a true cat person (or cat people) to do this housesit, as they are all used to being treated in the manner to which they should always be!!
