Hillborough House is a beautifully presented Grade II listed stone house dating from the 1600s, extended in the 1800s, and offering more than 2,600 sq ft of adaptable family space across three floors. Period features — exposed beams, original fireplaces and tall sash-style windows — combine with modern comforts such as solar panels and a double garage. The ground floor living rooms with wood burners and a conservatory give practical, comfortable hubs for family life and entertaining.
The house provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an original fireplace and a guest bedroom with an en-suite, plus an upstairs shower room. There is clear potential to modernise or reconfigure areas to suit changing needs; this scope for further improvement will appeal to buyers looking to personalise a historic home. The large, well-kept gardens, greenhouse lean-to and gravel drive creating multiple parking spaces complement the rural setting in an affluent village with an outstanding primary school and local amenities.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and likely require specialist consents and contractors; prospective buyers should allow time and budget for listed‑building compliance. There is a medium flood risk for the area and council tax is noted as quite expensive. The property is offered with no forward chain and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, useful for commuters or home-workers.
Overall, this is a rare, character-filled family house in a prosperous Rutland village, suited to buyers who value historic charm and are prepared for the responsibilities and costs associated with a listed rural property.
