A rare Grade II listed thatched cottage in Hallaton, this two-bedroom home offers rich 17th–19th century character and a generous overall footprint. Exposed timbers, stone walls and brick fireplaces give immediate period charm, while windows to front and rear flood the principal rooms with natural light.
The property sits quietly on Churchgate with off-street parking to the side and a mature rear garden backing onto open fields — an appealing countryside outlook for those seeking village tranquillity. The layout includes a dining room, living room, historically extended kitchen/utility and two first-floor bedrooms with eaves storage.
Significant renovation and modernisation are required; the cottage will suit a buyer wanting to sympathetically restore a historic home. Thatched roofing, listed status and historic fabric mean repairs/changes will need specialist input and listed-building consents. Council tax is above average and thatch/stone maintenance is an ongoing cost.
This lot is offered by modern auction. Buyers should factor in the reservation fee, auction terms, and the need to consult the buyer information pack and carry out independent surveys. Note practical points: no mobile signal at the property but fast broadband is available, and the village location benefits from low crime and very affluent surroundings.
