Bowling Green Lane, Market Overton, Rutland

The Hatchings, originally built in 1982 is a limestone and brick, detached four-bedroom home with deceptively spacious and flexible accommodation and a sunny, west-facing garden, sitting in the heart of the popular village of Market Overton.

Ground Floor - The Hatchings offers extensive and flexible ground floor accommodation with generously proportioned and light-filled rooms throughout. Although the property was built in the eighties, it is full of character features from exposed stone to exposed beams. In brief, there is a dining kitchen, three large reception rooms, a study and two double bedrooms sharing a shower room and separate cloakroom.

The dining kitchen sits to the front of the property with ample space for dining furniture. The kitchen itself has a comprehensive range of modern units with a variety of integrated appliances and a breakfast bar. Accessed from the kitchen is a utility room providing further storage and space for white goods. The main living room and the dining room sit to either side of the patio, both with doors opening out. The living room sits adjacent to the kitchen, an impressive 33 ft. room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed stone walls and beams, an incredible fireplace with a log burning stove inset and patio doors opening out to the patio. The dining room again vaulted and with a full elevation of glazing and a French patio door creating a wonderful feeling of space and allowing plenty of light.

The main entrance hall gives way into an inner hallway providing access to the bedroom and bathroom accommodation plus, the third reception room. The third reception room has a French door opening out to the rear garden and a door into a home study. Both bedrooms are large double rooms with built-in wardrobes and are served by a shower room.

First Floor - Stairs rise from the inner hallway to a light and airy landing that gives way to two further double bedrooms. The primary bedroom covers approximately 390 ft², a fantastic master suite complete with a dressing room and ensuite shower room. The second bedroom offers built-in storage and is served by a separate first-floor bathroom. Both shower and bathroom benefit from underfloor heating and dual fuel (gas/electric) radiators.

Outside - Externally, a five-bar timber gate with a side pedestrian gate opens onto a large, gravelled driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to the double garage with EV charger and up and over door. A courtyard leads to the front door and down a gated covered passage that leads to the rear garden.

The south-west facing rear garden is made up of a mixture of patios, lawn space and mature planting offering a fantastic outdoor space to enjoy throughout the seasons. A large patio sits directly off the living and dining rooms providing a wonderfully private seating area, ideal for outdoor entertaining. From the patio, a timber pergola walkway leads through well-established soft planting to the main garden.

The garden itself is predominantly laid to lawn with an array of mature soft planting and specimen trees creating year-round interest. A further patio area sits to the most southern corner of the garden with an ornamental pond stocked with specimen Koi carp and goldfish plus, a useful double door large timber shed.
