The house offers exposed stone walls, timber beams and a brick fireplace with a log burner — features that give immediate warmth and period authenticity. With four bedrooms including a converted attic, the layout suits a growing family or buyers seeking adaptable space.
Externally the plot is a strong asset: a large rear garden with vegetable plots, open countryside views and a substantial wooden garage. A private driveway provides off-street parking — a valuable convenience in a village setting. Nearby rural amenities, good primary schools and easy road links to Melton Mowbray add practical appeal for everyday life.
Buyers should note the material considerations that accompany an older listed property. Grade II status will restrict certain alterations and could complicate extensions or modernisation. The stone walls are understood to be uninsulated and the double glazing install date is unknown, so improving thermal performance may be required. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators, which involves ongoing fuel costs and servicing.
Overall this cottage will appeal most to families and buyers who value historic character and generous outdoor space, and who are comfortable managing the upkeep and planning constraints of a listed rural home. Where sympathetic updating is possible, the property offers clear potential to enhance comfort and energy efficiency while retaining period charm.
