This Grade II listed ironstone cottage blends 18th-century character with generous modern living space. The ground floor offers an expansive layout — a breakfast kitchen with oil AGA, five reception rooms, utility and a ground-floor shower — making it flexible for family life, home working or hobby use.
Set on approximately 0.33 acres, the west-facing garden, mature borders and sizeable stone outbuilding create strong outside appeal and privacy, with uninterrupted countryside views to the rear. A private gravel driveway and single carport provide off-street parking while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support remote working.
The outbuilding is suitable for conversion to an office or annexe subject to necessary planning consents, presenting an obvious value-add. Nearby Rutland Water and highly regarded schools make this a convenient village base for families wanting country living with good local amenities and transport links.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: any alterations will require listed-building consent and may limit structural changes. Heating is oil-fired and, although the house has been modernised, ongoing maintenance and listed-property responsibilities are a factor to budget for.
