A detached 3/4-bedroom bungalow with development potential sitting in a completely unique setting on a plot of approximately 2.5 acres offering breath-taking views over the neighbouring countryside.

Accommodation - Enter the property into a spacious hallway giving access to the living and bedroom accommodation. There is a large L-shaped dining kitchen with windows to three elevations and sliding glazed doors providing ample light and views over the surrounding gardens. There are a range of floor-standing and wall mounted units, an eye-level double oven, gas-hob with extractor over and sink with mixer tap over. Just off the kitchen is a useful utility room with further storage, an additional sink, space and plumbing for white goods and a door out to the garden.

The focal point of the property is the large sitting room, accessed off both the entrance hall and dining kitchen. This room has a feature fireplace with open fire and large glazed sliding doors opening out to and providing wonderful views over the garden and countryside beyond.

The property has three/four bedrooms depending on how an occupier chooses to utilise them. Bedroom one sits on the west side of the property with built-in wardrobes and stunning views through a large picture window. Bedrooms two and three are good size double rooms both with built-in cupboards. Bedroom four is a single bedroom with built-in storage however has historically been used as a study. All the bedrooms are served by a shower room with a large corner shower, low flush WC and wash hand basin.

Although the accommodation would benefit from a program of modernisation the living space is generously sized and flows well.

Outside - There is ample off-road parking and plenty of space to build a garage subject to the necessary planning consent and building regulations.

The gardens for the property are wonderfully mature with a wide array of fauna and flora as well as some stunning mature trees to include several magnificent Canadian redwoods.

The property is as much about the gardens and plot size as it is about the house itself and we believe it offers a huge amount of potential for a buyer that wants to extend or build their own home on an incredibly unique plot and location within the country, subject to the necessary planning consents and building regulations. This property is a rare offering to the open market and must be viewed to be appreciated.

Location - Cold Overton is situated on the Leicestershire/Rutland borders in some of the countys most scenic countryside. Cold Overton is a small rural village with easy access to the popular market towns of Oakham, Uppingham and Market Harborough, the latter providing mainline rail access to London St. Pancreas in just over an hour. The area is particularly well served by popular schooling in both the state and private sectors with primary schools nearby in Somerby, Langham and Oakham itself and high performing secondary schools in both Uppingham and Oakham.

Directional Note - Head out of Oakham on the B640 towards Barleythorpe, take the first exit at the roundabout to Langham, once in Langham take the Cold Overton Road. As you approach the village of Cold Overton you will see Gates Garden Nursery on your left, continue on a little way and you will find a driveway on your right-hand side.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
