A rare Grade II listed mews cottage set within the landscaped grounds of Great Bowden Hall, offering a compact, characterful home for someone seeking a lock‑up‑and‑leave bolthole near Market Harborough. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen benefits from high ceilings, a large bay with fitted seating and skylights that flood the space with light. Upstairs, a generous double bedroom enjoys dual-aspect and clear countryside views, plus an ensuite bathroom.
Outside, the property sits within extensive communal formal gardens, a secret garden/dining terrace and a 15‑acre shared paddock with direct access to the canal towpath — rare private green space so close to town. The cottage comes with allocated off‑street parking for two vehicles and a useful brick store, making it practical for weekenders or those who travel frequently.
Practical considerations: the home is Grade II listed, which will impose conservation restrictions on alterations and could complicate structural or modernisation works. Broadband speeds are very slow and there is an annual service charge of around £1,250 for upkeep of the communal grounds and paddock. The property is offered freehold and chain free, but buyers should factor in listed‑building consent procedures and potential maintenance costs.
This will suit a buyer seeking character, privacy and countryside views within easy reach of Market Harborough’s rail and amenities — ideal for downsizers, professionals wanting a second home, or someone wanting a peaceful, low‑maintenance base with strong community and attractive grounds.
