The village has shops, a primary school, medical centre, pubs and bus services to Hinckley, Market Bosworth and Leicester. Road connections include the B582 and routes to the M1, M69 and M6, with rail services available from Hinckley.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £150,000, this four-bedroom village cottage is priced at about £124 per sq ft, well below the local average of £283 — a strong entry point for a buyer looking to create value. Its exposed beams, stonework, fireplaces and generous proportions give the renovation a distinctive character to build around, while the main frontage and roof look broadly intact in the available views.

This is a heavy project rather than a cosmetic refresh: several photographed rooms have worn finishes, the kitchen has substantial wall-surface deterioration, and the rear garden is heavily overgrown. The four brick outbuildings add potential, but their condition and possible uses need checking. The sale is by online bidding; bids can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Restore and highlight the exposed beams, stonework and fireplaces, using the generous proportions to shape characterful open-plan reception spaces.
  • Rework the interior with renewed finishes and flooring, and make good the damaged wall surfaces to create a coherent home.
  • Clear and improve the rear garden, then assess the four brick outbuildings for useful storage or other potential.

Key risks

  • Stripped and deteriorated interior finishes across several photographed rooms, plus a heavily overgrown garden, mean a substantial multi-room programme; plan for a full interior rebuild rather than a cosmetic refresh.
