This rare Grade II thatched cottage sits in the heart of Market Bosworth, offering authentic 17th‑century character and award‑winning gardens. The house is compact (approximately 964 sq ft) but cleverly arranged over two floors with cosy reception rooms, exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces that preserve its historic charm. The principal bedroom is generous with an en suite, while a modern country kitchen provides practical daily living.
The garden is a standout asset: thoughtfully planted and widely recognised with regional and RHS awards, creating an unusually private and evocative outdoor space for a central village property. The location places you moments from the market square, independent shops, monthly farmers’ market and good local schools, with fast road and rail links to Leicester and Birmingham.
There are practical considerations buyers must accept. Listed status means repairs, alterations and insurance can be more costly and will need listed‑building consent. The thatched roof and historic fabric demand ongoing specialist maintenance; walls appear to lack cavity insulation and the EPC is D. Some rooms have low ceilings and smaller proportions by modern standards.
For someone seeking a distinctive, characterful home in a very affluent, well‑served small town, this cottage offers rare atmosphere and a memorable garden — provided you budget for listed‑property upkeep and accept the compromises of historic construction.
