3 Bedroom Cottage

Quietly tucked away within the highly sought-after Rutland village of Market Overton & offered to the market with NO ONWARD CHAIN, this charming three-bedroom stone cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home set within an impressively generous and private plot. Combining period charm with practical accommodation arranged over three floors, the property is well suited to a broad range of buyers, from those seeking village living with space to families or downsizers looking for flexibility and long-term appeal.

The ground floor provides a well-considered balance of reception and practical space. A welcoming entrance hall leads into the property's dining room, offering an ideal setting for entertaining or family use, while the kitchen is complemented by a pantry, ensuring excellent day-to-day practicality. A ground floor shower room further adds to the flexibility of the layout, particularly for visiting guests or multi-generational living. From the kitchen, you enter a thoughtfully designed extension that is modern yet in keeping with the character of the home. This light-filled space benefits from underfloor heating and provides a spacious living room, a further versatile reception room, ideal for use as a boot room and an adjoining utility room benefitting from natural light pods, plentiful storage and space for washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge and freezer.

To the first floor, two well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a central landing and are served by a further shower room. The accommodation continues to the second floor, where a further bedroom provides additional flexibility, equally suited as a master bedroom, guest suite or versatile and flexible space depending on individual requirements.

Throughout the home, original features and traditional detailing contribute to a strong sense of character, while recent redecoration allows the property to be occupied immediately, offering scope for gradual personalisation rather than immediate works.

Externally, the property occupies a notably generous plot, with gravelled frontage providing ample off-road parking for several cars. A car port and detached outbuilding further enhance the appeal, offering excellent storage, workshop potential or scope for alternative uses subject to requirements. The outdoor space provides a valuable extension to the accommodation and reinforces the property's rarity within the village setting.

Market Overton remains one of Rutland's most desirable villages, known for its strong community, local amenities (pub!) and surrounding countryside. The location offers convenient access to Oakham and nearby commuter routes, while retaining the charm and appeal of a traditional village environment.
