For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in Market Overton£585,000

A beautifully restored 17th-century cottage in the popular village of Market Overton sits behind impressive gates and overlooking its charming garden.  As you approach Tod Cottage, the timeless charm of this historic home reveals itself through original stonework, weathered by centuries yet still solid and striking, and a distinctive Collyweston slate roof that speaks to the cottage’s late 17th-century origins. Every detail has been lovingly preserved or thoughtfully updated.  Upon entering the hallway, the ambient textures and colour palette sets the tone for the entire home. To the left, the study / bedroom 4 offers a versatile space, with solid oak French windows filling the room with natural light. Just beyond this room you'll discover a conveniently located shower room where modern fixtures harmonise with traditional materials. The stone flooring, enhanced by underfloor heating, offers comfort and style, while the bespoke twin marble sink washstand adds a touch of luxury. Next down the hallway you enter the stone-floored living room. The exposed stone wall, anchored by a period-carved limestone fireplace with a wood-burning stove, forms the heart of the cottage. The character-rich aged beams overhead evoke the home's deep history. Continuing off the hallway, solid oak flooring leads to the dining room, perfect for family gatherings. The living flame gas fire, set within a period-carved oak fireplace, creates a warm, intimate setting for meals and gatherings. The kitchen is situated behind the dining room, in a wing which was added around 50 years ago. Here, bespoke solid oak double-glazed windows and a stable door maintain the cottage’s countryside appeal. The free-standing kitchen units allow for a flexible layout, while the stripped-back design gives the space an endearing, inviting ambience. Tod Cottage also offers a variety of further development opportunities (subject to planning permission). Upstairs, the main bedroom offers an idyllic haven with soft new carpeting, large windows framing views of the garden and village, and neutral decor inviting personal touches. The adjoining shower room adds convenience. Additionally, two more bedrooms with new carpeting and radiators provide flexible family spaces, enhanced by neutral tones and textured surfaces. In addition to the internal layout, there is a beautiful detached home office / studio / gym. With two large windows and double doors, this 133 sq ft area maintains the property’s aesthetic continuity.  Outside, the home's character continues, offering intimate seating areas for relaxation and a connection to the natural beauty surrounding Tod Cottage. At the rear, a quaint garden features a pond with a water feature, stone accents, summer house / storage cabin, and log storage.
