The accommodation, situated in a village location with good local facilities, offers an ideal base for some quiet R & R or for visiting the numerous attractions that are within easy reach. There are also many enjoyable picturesque walks that are well documented and the village is on the Rutland Cycle Loop.

As its name suggests the property was once the village shop and post office but has since been converted and furnished to a high standard. This spacious property consists of 2 bedrooms (one double and one with bunk beds for two – minimum age 5), a living room, kitchen diner and shower room and benefits from central heating and double glazing. It has its own front door and there is also a patio for enjoying the sunshine!

Amenities nearby consist of a well stocked community shop and a pub, The Black Bull, which serves good food. Also within the village is a bowls club, cricket club, children’s play area, doctor’s surgery, C of E Church, a Free Church and a country cafe. Market Overton is a lively conservation village of approximately 220 houses situated 6 miles from Oakham and 13 miles from Melton Mowbray. It is set within rural Rutland the landscape of which lends itself to walking, cycling and generally exploring Middle England.

Absolutely lovely
The cottage was homely and very comfortable. Good instructions for entry and a lovely welcome letter explaining all we needed to know. The cottage was immaculate. Beds very comfortable and all the facilities you need. Lots of handy leaflets about where to visit and local eateries. We highly recommend the pub around the corner, the food is great and the welcome warm and friendly, even a quiz on Thursday night.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I first bought this property in 1988 when it was the village shop and Post Office. We successfully ran it as that until retirement in 2010 after which time we converted it to residential use, whilst still remaining in our own home adjoining The Old Post Office.

What makes this property unique

The property occupies a central point within the village being close to local amenities – ie the replacement community run village shop, pub, church, etc., and yet is only a few hundred metres to open countryside with brilliant views.
