A rare Grade II listed thatched cottage set on a generous corner plot in the peaceful hamlet of Saxelby. The house combines genuine period character — exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and stone walls — with spacious, flexible accommodation including a ground-floor guest suite and a large bespoke kitchen. Outside, mature landscaped gardens, a koi pond, double garage and a first-floor home office create a self-contained country home.
The layout suits multi-generational families or those working from home: four double bedrooms upstairs, two bathrooms, a sizable lounge with glazed doors to the terrace and a separate dining hall. Practical features include a utility room, modern fitted kitchen with granite worktops and integrated appliances, plus ample off-street parking on a tarmac drive.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance. The thatched roof has been renewed (re-thatched) but thatch incurs specific insurance and upkeep costs. The home is in Council Tax Band F, which is comparatively expensive, and the site is recorded as having a high flooding risk — buyers should obtain specialist flood and insurance advice. Commuter connections to Nottingham, Leicester and Melton Mowbray are good, while village amenities and several good primary schools are nearby.
