Set in the heart of picturesque Wilbarston, this 17th-century stone cottage blends period character with useful modern additions. The property includes a self-contained annexe with its own shower room, ideal for guests, multi-generational living or a home office (subject to any necessary consents). High exposed beams, deep-set windows and a feature fireplace create a warm, characterful principal living space.
Practical details suit rural living: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low local crime and an affordable council tax band. The courtyard garden is private and paved between the house and annexe, providing a low-maintenance outdoor space to sit out or entertain. Nearby village amenities — shop, post office, pub, cafe and primary school — are within walking distance; Market Harborough and Corby are a short drive away.
Buyers should note a few material points: the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, and the double glazing was installed before 2002, which may affect thermal performance. Heating is electric-based (air source heat pump, warm air, electric), so running costs and service history should be checked. The plot is small, so landscaping potential is limited but low-maintenance.
Internally there is flexibility: a landing/study area was previously divided to form a second bedroom and could be reinstituted to suit a buyer’s needs. At 674 sq ft the accommodation is modest but well laid-out, and the separate annexe adds valuable usable space for guests or a home enterprise.
