Set well back from the lane, The Lodge is a substantial five-bedroom Georgian house on nearly an acre of mainly walled gardens. Its long driveway, detached double garage and mature landscaping create immediate privacy and a peaceful setting, while Oakham town centre and both state and independent schools are within comfortable walking distance.
Inside are elegant period features — high ceilings, bow bay windows and generous reception rooms — alongside practical family spaces: an AGA kitchen with pantry, utility room and a study. Three good-sized bedrooms plus a large master suite give flexible family living; two bathrooms serve the five bedrooms.
A useful range of outbuildings and additional space offer scope to reconfigure or extend the living accommodation, subject to planning. Note the property is oil-heated with boiler and radiators, the stone external walls are likely uninsulated, and the council tax band is relatively high — all factors to budget for when updating.
This is a rare offering for buyers seeking a substantial period home close to Oakham’s amenities, Rutland Water leisure and commuter routes. Two nearby applications for development opposite the property have been refused recently; those decisions are a material planning context to be aware of for future proposals.
