2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Characterful two-bedroom home in Syston ideal for first buyers or downsizers.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with original exposed beams
This Grade II listed thatched cottage on High Street, Syston combines traditional charm with a recently completed high-spec renovation. The property retains period features such as exposed beams and original character while offering a modern interior, gas central heating and a practical layout across two floors. It’s presented as a two-double-bedroom home with a fitted bathroom and a lounge/diner, ready to move into for those seeking a characterful residence.
Practical benefits include a rear driveway providing off-street parking for one car and a low-maintenance rear garden. The roof ridging has been re-thatched and the thatched porch replaced as part of recent works, reducing immediate thatch upkeep. The cottage is freehold and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for working from home or staying connected.
Important considerations: the property’s Grade II listed status means alterations and some repairs will require listed-building consent and may restrict future changes. Thatched roofs can carry higher insurance and maintenance costs over time despite recent re-thatching. The interior rooms are small-to-medium with lower-than-modern ceiling heights in places, which may limit some layouts or furniture choices. The EPC is exempt due to listing.
Overall, this cottage will suit a buyer looking for a characterful first home or a downsizer who values period detail and a low-maintenance garden. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the accommodation and layout. Tenure: Freehold. EPC: Exempt.
