Main Street
Market Overton

A Grade II listed former forge dating from the mid nineteenth century, with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a superb open plan living space opposite Market Overton’s village green.

Converted during the late twentieth century and winner of both regional and national architectural awards, The Old Forge is full of character. Large south facing windows flood the interior with light, while exposed stone, substantial solid oak flooring, vaulted timbers and a Collyweston slate roof reflect the quality and history of the building.

Meticulously maintained, it would make a fantastic village home or weekend bolt hole. It has also been very successfully operated as an Airbnb.

Accommodation: Open plan kitchen and living space, snug or office, walk in utility and pantry, downstairs cloakroom, two double mezzanine bedrooms and ensuite bathroom.

Outside: Although there is no conventional garden, an area to the side is owned by the property and could potentially be enclosed to create a more private seating area, subject to the necessary consents.

Location: The Old Forge stands directly opposite the village green in the heart of Market Overton. The village shop and post office, The Black Bull public house and parish church are all within a short walk. Oakham is approximately six miles away and Stamford around thirteen miles away, with the A1 and railway services from Oakham, Stamford and Grantham readily accessible.

Agent’s note: The property is Grade II listed and offered with no onward chain.

In accordance with current legal requirements, all prospective purchasers are required to undergo an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) check. An administration fee of £40 per property will apply.
