Summary - Bell Lane, Burton Overy LE8 9DB
3 bed 1 bath Cottage
Chain-free 1600s cottage with south garden and renovation potential.
- Three double bedrooms and two reception rooms
A true period cottage in the desirable village of Burton Overy, this three-bedroom home offers strong character and a sizeable south-facing garden. Built in the 1600s, features include exposed timber beams, brace-and-latch doors, an inglenook with Rayburn and brick outbuildings — all combining to create authentic charm and garden-orientated living. Offered freehold and with no onward chain, it’s ready for a buyer keen to personalise and modernise.
The house provides comfortable, well-proportioned rooms across two stories: two reception rooms, a long kitchen, three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The plot is a highlight — a well-established rear garden with fruit and nut trees, two brick outbuildings and two seating areas give scope for outside entertaining, hobby gardening or creating a home office/studio in one of the outbuildings.
Practical considerations are straightforward and honest: the property needs renovation, has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, secondary glazing and average broadband speeds. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators alongside a traditional Rayburn/multi-fuel stove; some systems or finishes may require updating. For buyers seeking a characterful village home with scope to improve, this presents a rare, chain-free opportunity in an affluent, well-connected rural setting.
