A rare, characterful thatched home dating back to the 16th century and recently renovated throughout. The house blends period features — exposed beams, brick fireplaces and a striking brick archway — with modern touches including a refurbished kitchen, new double glazing (post-2002) and a recently renewed thatch ridge (18 months ago). Interiors are atmospheric and compact, with two principal reception rooms and a useful conservatory/office off the utility.
Five well-proportioned bedrooms sit upstairs alongside a stylish family bathroom. Note that there is a single main bathroom for five bedrooms, which may be a consideration for larger families. Heating is by LPG boiler with radiators (not a communal supply); walls are solid brick with internal insulation.
Outside, a decent plot has been thoughtfully landscaped over two levels, with terraces for seating and entertaining and a brick-built outdoor oven — ideal for summer dining. The property sits on a quiet no-through road in a friendly village with very low crime, average mobile and broadband connectivity, and convenient bus links. Melton Mowbray and Syston stations are the nearest rail options; Market Harborough offers a mainline service to London.
Practical points: the home is freehold and newly modernised, but council tax is described as expensive. The village location and historic thatch will appeal to buyers seeking character and countryside living; those needing very high-speed connectivity or multiple bathrooms should factor these constraints into their decision.
