House For Sale £395,000
This wonderful cottage features two fantastic reception rooms, a modern country kitchen diner with fitted Neff cooking appliances, ground floor shower room and separate laundry/boiler room. The first floor is blessed with five great bedrooms - although I would be tempted to convert the fifth bedroom into a fantastic en-suite and use the amazing landing space for an office. Two of the bedrooms take in far reaching views over beautiful Rutland Countryside.
The property also boasts a fantastic courtyard complete with three outbuildings - perfect for converting. The space externally continues with a shingled drive space for at least two vehicles and beautiful countryside or dog walking footpaths on your doorstep.
Location:
Positioned close to Rutland Water and exactly 4.2 miles to Uppingham, 7 miles to Oakham and 79 miles back into central London.
The fast trains into London are located at Corby Station and Market Harborough station and will get you into London within 56 minutes and both are approx. 25 minute drive door to door.
Inside:
Step through the front door into a wonderfully spacious inner hallway where history greets you with gorgeous quarry tiled flooring and beautiful and original inner doors and lots of space to remove wet coats and muddy boots. Continue straight ahead where immediately in front of you, you are greeted by an impressive country style kitchen which is a particularly light room featuring an exposed stone wall, an array of excellent storage units, eye level fitted Neff oven and microwave along with fantastic space for an American style fridge freezer. The space in the kitchen is so great, you can have an eight seater table and still not compromise on the kitchen space.
The country style kitchen also benefits from an attractive deep window onto the inner hall - a particular highlight of the character of the home.
When placed back in the hallway, there direct access into the ground floor shower room complete with WC and half tiled walls and quarry tiled flooring. The handy shower room would be very useful when inviting overnight guests to stay or should you wish to convert one of the fabulous reception rooms to have an older relative to stay permanently.
The best room of the house for me is the sitting room because it's very inviting with the exposed stone chimney breast and wonderful access into the private rear courtyard. This room would be a tremendous entertaining room in the summer!
To complete the ground floor, there is a TV room - or play room should you have children - and further down the large hallway is great space prime for reconfiguring and access into the current boiler room with direct access onto the front elevation. Perfect for wet dogs!
Upstairs:
On the first floor are five double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The fifth bedroom is currently used as an office, but it would be better converted into a tremendous en-suite shower room to the double bedroom next door. Take the steps up from here into two of the four additional bedrooms and enjoy the space, natural light and remarkable views from the bedroom windows. Two further double bedrooms can be found at the end of the hallway along with the family three piece bathroom suite. The landing has great potential to be used as a working home office or study area for the older children.
Outside:
The property offers off road parking for two cars along with direct access into the cottage courtyard Here you will find the appealing low maintenance nature of the outside space long with raised brick borders to add colour into the garden. The space is not particularly large but, is inviting and has several brick outbuilds which could be easily converted or added the current property should you want more internal space.
