The Cottage, Drayton, Leicestershire

The Cottage is a Grade II listed property which has been carefully restored and developed and now offers a perfect blend of historic character and modern living.


The cottage stands in glorious gardens with wonderful views.

The property has been sensitively, carefully and beautifully refurbished and extended. A particular highlight is the open plan living space with kitchen, dining and seating areas. With handsome exposed ironstone walls, double height ceiling and under floor heating, this is an impressive and inviting room.
