A terraced cottage in a "desirable" Leicestershire village sold at auction. The two-bedroom property in Main Street, Markfield, was among the latest lots offered by SDL Property Auctions.

The double-fronted home, which comes with two reception rooms in the form of a dining room and lounge, also features a "mature" rear garden. Auctioneers had previously revealed the property was in need of "some modernisation".

The cottage was marketed as being in a prime location, with SDL Property Auctions highlighting the village's "excellent" transport links, including the nearby M1. The home also boasts a number of period features.
