Set on a generous, well‑spaced plot in a quiet Empingham cul‑de‑sac, this late‑1960s detached house offers comfortable family living and good privacy. The south‑facing garden backs onto manor grounds, is enclosed and not overlooked, and includes patios, a sunken seating area, summerhouse and large shed — ideal for outdoor entertaining and storage.
Inside, a wide 26ft living room with a multi‑fuel burner and full‑width glazing provides a flexible hub. The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the garden and leads into an enlarged utility room with recent patio doors. A dining room was formed from one original garage, creating practical ground‑floor flow; there is also a downstairs cloakroom.
Upstairs there are four main bedrooms with the former two smaller rooms currently combined to create a larger bedroom (option to reinstate a fifth bedroom). A modern family shower room is fitted; the main bedroom includes built‑in storage. Recent updates include a new oil‑fired boiler and a serviced heating system installed about 18 months ago, plus newer stair and landing carpets.
Practical points to note: the property will suit a family seeking a peaceful Rutland village setting but would benefit from selective modernisation in places. Broadband speeds are slow in the area. Council Tax Band E applies. The single garage is currently used for storage and the driveway offers parking for several cars. EPC rating D.
