This Grade II listed period cottage combines historic charm with unexpectedly generous internal space. Over 1,500 ft² of accommodation includes two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a dramatic 12ft vaulted artist’s studio that could serve as an open-plan family/kitchen/dining area. Character features are strong: exposed beams, inglenook and feature fireplaces, high ceilings and a striking contemporary farmhouse bathroom.
The layout suits a range of buyers looking for character and space in a village setting—downsizers seeking single-level flexibility, couples wanting a home office or studio, or creatives requiring dedicated workspace. The kitchen is refitted with quality surfaces and a central island; practical additions include a cellar with services, pantry, utility room and converted outbuilding utility.
Note the property’s Grade II listing: external and internal works will be subject to listed-building consent and conservation requirements. The small, walled plot and limited off-street parking via timber gates mean outdoor space is private but modest. Council tax is band E, and historic thatch/rendered elements will need ongoing, specialist maintenance.
Set on Main Street in Kibworth Harcourt, the cottage sits in a prosperous, well-served village with excellent schools, local amenities and good rail links to Leicester and Market Harborough. The secluded west-facing walled garden and traditional features such as a well and water pump enhance the cottage’s appeal while retaining a low-maintenance feel.
