Introducing this charming two bedroom mews house set within the delightful grounds of Great Bowden Hall, a Victorian country house built in the 1850’s along with a share of 15 acres of neighbouring paddock land and beautifully presented formal gardens. This unique property forms part of thoughtful conversion, designed to maximise the incredible views over the Grand Union Canal to the rear and fields beyond, with the interior retaining a wealth of original features and charm now offering a blend of period character and spacious contemporary living.

Great Bowden Hall completed in 1858, built by the Hays family who were in occupation until the 1960’s! The property was then converted, including the Mews in 1997.

Residents and visitors alike will gain access through the grand wrought iron automatic gates at the front of the development, with sweeping driveway leading around a large lawn and on to the accommodation.

Stepping through the large timber entrance door of this particular mews house, you arrive into the main hallway and instantly gain a sense of quality and character where you will then find two bedrooms, the master with an ensuite, and further main shower room. The impressive timber staircase rises to the first floor where the main accommodation lies, first over the versatile landing space currently used as a pleasant office to work from home, then onto the fitted kitchen and spacious living dining room. The real hub of this home is the living room itself, with pitched roof and exposed beams enjoying the abundance of natural light which floods the room through a window and separate Juliet balcony overlooking the canal! The kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of matching units and has built in appliances.

Steping Outside…

Externally, the property is set within the attractive row of mews houses, located to the rear of Great Bowden Hall itself. Just to the front of the home is a pleasant garden space where the owners are able to enjoy a morning coffee in the sun or tend to the attractive flower beds which lie next to the steps beneath the covered porch entrance. Within the grounds, you have access to formal gardens which are beautifully presented and more recently, a selection of residents have created an enchanting secret garden which leads on to the paddock land! As well as this, there is direct access onto the picturesque tow path alongside the Grand Union Canal offering amazing walks in either direction.

Great Bowden the village itself is thought of as one of the most sought after villages in the area. There is a strong community spirit, village store, St. Peter & St. Paul church and two thriving pubs! Adjacent to the village lies the popular town of Market Harborough, offering a range of more comprehensive amenities, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and there are also fantastic transport links with mainline rail services to London in under an hour.

What Our Sellers Say…

“It is a unique property converted to its current style in 1997. It is perfectly positioned with views over open countryside and overlooking a branch of the Grand Union Canal. It stands alone on the edge of Great Bowden but is well positioned to access Market Harborough with good links in all directions. It is an ideal place to work from home or to travel further afield. It is perfectly situated to enjoy the setting in all seasons whilst enjoying the wildlife in the countryside and around the canal. Beautiful.”
