Set on a private half-acre plot in the village of Greetham, this detached four-bedroom house offers significant scope to create a bespoke family home. The property includes three reception rooms, a pantry-style kitchen with adjoining utility, a single garage and ample off-road parking behind double timber gates. A south-facing garden and mature boundaries give a high degree of privacy and generous outdoor space for families or gardeners.
The house is sold chain free and is presented as a renovation opportunity. Key systems are traditional: oil-fired boiler with radiators and secondary glazing; the Energy Performance Certificate is E. The layout includes four bedrooms (three doubles with built-in wardrobes), a family bathroom with shower bath and a separate WC — useful for busy household routines but likely requiring updating to modern standards.
Practical considerations: the property needs renovation and updating throughout, which offers scope to add value but will require time and budget. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average (rural location). Council tax band is above average and local recorded crime is higher than the national average, which should be weighed against the rural setting and privacy of the plot.
Location is a strong selling point for buyers seeking village life with good road links: Oakham is a short drive and the A1 is nearby. Local schools include rated Church of England primaries and independent secondary options in Oakham, while village amenities and two pubs sit within easy reach. For buyers wanting space, privacy and a project to personalise, this property represents a rare half-acre opportunity in Rutland.
