Glebe Farmhouse is a substantial Grade II listed detached village house believed to date from the 1600s, offering about 2,567 sq ft of character-rich living space. The property centres on a stunning vaulted kitchen-living area with exposed beams, stone floors, bifold doors and a two-sided log burner — a dramatic family hub for daily life and entertaining. A flexible ground-floor guest suite with shower room makes an excellent annexe, home office or therapy room, while the cellar provides useful additional storage or scope for imaginative reuse.
Outside, the sunny, private garden patio and large lawn create secure outdoor space for children and pets. A gated driveway, carport and plentiful off-street parking are unusual for a village location and add practical value. The house is chain free and positioned in a friendly Rutland village close to Oakham, Uppingham and Rutland Water.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance or upgrades. The stone walls are likely uninsulated (assumed) and the property has low ceilings in places; the EPC is D and council tax is described as expensive. Buyers should budget for ongoing listed-property upkeep and expect limitations on structural or energy-efficiency work.
This home will suit buyers seeking authenticity and space rather than a turn-key modern property. It’s ideal for families wanting flexible rooms and a sociable kitchen-living heart, or for purchasers who value history and village life and are comfortable managing the responsibilities of a listed building.
