'Beautifully restored' Grade II listed thatched cottage on the market
It is believed to date back to the 17th century
A Grade II listed Leicestershire thatched cottage could be yours - if you have nearly £700,000 in your pocket. The “beautifully restored and stylishly extended” four-bedroom cottage is located in Tugby, between Uppingham and Leicester.
On the market with Sheldon Bosley Knight, the property, which is valued at £695,000, is believed to date back to the 17th century offering a “wealth of period features”. This includes a reception hall with a period fireplace and a living room with brick flooring, beamed ceiling and cast iron log burner.
A stripped pine door leads through to a “farmhouse style” kitchen with beamed ceiling and “bespoke built in units” and an Aga. The upper floor is approached via two staircases, rising to a landing/study area that has a high vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a cruck frame.

The principal bedroom has an “impressive ceiling with exposed painted A-frame” and bedroom two has a built-in double wardrobe. Outside, there is a gravelled driveway providing off road parking for up to four cars, which leads to an oak framed detached double garage which has a mezzanine floor above.
The back garden is described as being an “excellent size” by the agents and “includes an extensive gravelled and paved area with steps rising to lawns with a former outbuilding” and a “tiered paved sun terrace and fruit trees”.
