This handsome ironstone home occupies a central High Street position in Uppingham, offering six double bedrooms across four floors and generous living space totalling about 2,950 sq ft. Period features such as Minton tiles, bay windows, high ceilings and original fireplaces give the house strong character and immediate kerb appeal. A private walled garden and a substantial outbuilding at the rear extend the footprint and create practical scope for storage, a studio or separate workspace.
The property is a clear renovation project: it requires updating throughout and currently offers only one family bathroom plus a separate WC for six bedrooms. Construction details indicate solid stone walls with no assumed insulation, glazing not defined and heating by a mains-gas boiler and radiators — buyers should budget for thermal upgrades, possible redecoration and modernisation works. The cellar adds useful storage but may need attention in any refurbishment plans.
For families, the town-centre location places shops, cafés and highly regarded schools within easy reach, while fast broadband and good road links make commuting feasible. For investors or developers, the size, outbuilding and private garden present potential to reconfigure living space (subject to consents) to add value. Note the property is offered freehold and chain free, but council tax sits at Band F which reflects running costs.
This home suits a purchaser seeking to create a distinctive period residence in a highly desirable Rutland market town. Be realistic about the scope and cost of improvements: the house rewards sensitive restoration but is best viewed as a substantial refurbishment opportunity rather than a move-in ready home.
