Manor Cottage Main Street
Owston

If you’ve ever fancied living the good life, Manor Cottage could be the one. Completely refurbished by the current owners, this characterful village home enjoys countryside views at every turn, additional land and excellent potential for anyone looking to run a business from home.

At the heart of the house is a stunning open-plan kitchen/breakfast and living space with a vaulted ceiling. There is also a cosy sitting room with a log burner, along with a large utility room, entrance hall and cloakroom.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a beautiful family bathroom. Steps from the main bedroom lead into a useful attic space which, subject to any necessary consents, could create an en suite, dressing room or a combination of the two.

Accommodation – Entrance hall, cloakroom, open-plan kitchen/breakfast and living space with vaulted ceiling, sitting room with log burner, utility room, three bedrooms, family bathroom and attic space accessed from the main bedroom.

Outside – The substantial plot includes a newly fenced garden with a large lawn, stone-paved seating area and an outdoor kitchen created by the current owners.

A driveway to the side provides parking in front of a large detached outbuilding. Formerly a garage, it has been fully boarded, fitted with electrics and used by the current owner to run her business. It could be returned to garaging or, subject to any necessary consents, adapted as a home office, studio, games room or possible annexe. A courtyard separates the building from the main garden, with two former stables to the rear providing useful additional storage.

Directly opposite the cottage are two additional grassed areas, ideal for growing vegetables, keeping chickens or other animals. These are rented from a local trust under a longstanding peppercorn arrangement which the owners advise can be transferred to the new buyer.

Location – Owston is a small and peaceful Leicestershire village surrounded by open countryside, approximately five miles from Oakham and within easy reach of Melton Mowbray.

The village is centred around the historic Church of St Andrew and offers a genuine rural community setting. Nearby Somerby provides everyday amenities including a village shop, primary school, pub and doctors’ surgery, while Oakham and Melton Mowbray offer a wider range of shops, schools, leisure facilities and railway connections.

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. This fee is payable after an offer has been accepted and must be settled before a memorandum of sale can be issued.
