This handsome early-1800s stone cottage offers large, characterful family accommodation with a self-contained one-bedroom annex. Set on the edge of Morcott village, the property sits on a generous plot with south-east facing gardens and uninterrupted countryside views—ideal for families wanting space and privacy or buyers seeking an annex for guests or rental income.
Internally the house retains original features such as exposed stonework, beams and a stone open fire, with multiple reception rooms including a conservatory and a dining kitchen. The layout is flexible: four bedrooms across two staircases, two main bath/shower rooms and a ground-floor shower room serving the dual-aspect fourth bedroom.
The property requires comprehensive renovation and modernisation throughout: updating heating/electrics, improving insulation (stone walls likely uninsulated), and general cosmetic refurbishment. Broadband speeds are slow, which may affect home-working until improved. Council Tax is above average (House Band E). Despite these practical drawbacks, the building is freehold, chain-free and sits in a very low-crime, affluent rural area with excellent mobile signal and no flooding risk.
Externally there is ample parking, a double garage and mature south-east gardens backing onto fields. The annex has its own entrance, a living-kitchen, conservatory, bedroom and shower room, with a small surrounding garden—useful for multigenerational living or letting. Local village amenities and well-regarded schools are within easy reach, and Rutland Water and market towns are a short drive away.
