South-facing garden, solar-plus-battery and integrated garage near Oakham.
Five-bedroom detached family house with extended kitchen/diner
Set in a sought-after Oakham neighbourhood, this five-bedroom detached house balances modern upgrades with family-friendly space. The extended kitchen/diner with bifold doors opens to a south-facing garden and terrace — ideal for summer entertaining. Battery-backed solar panels, a new gas boiler and underfloor-heated bathrooms reduce running costs and add practical value.
Ground floor living flows well: a cosy front sitting room with log burner, generous kitchen/diner, utility room, downstairs WC and internal access to an integrated double garage. Upstairs offers a comfortable master with ensuite, two good doubles, two smaller bedrooms (one used as a study) and a family bathroom — the loft is partly boarded and houses the solar battery.
Practical strengths include a driveway, remote-controlled garage doors, double glazing, new low-maintenance UPVC gutters/fascias/soffits and ultrafast full-fibre broadband. The property sits close to Oakham town and Rutland Water, with a mix of good state and independent schools nearby, making it well suited to family life.
Buyers should note council tax is above average for the area. While the house is well maintained and energy-efficient, some buyers may want to update decorative finishes to personal taste. The plot is a decent size, with established planted borders and a deck that captures the evening sun.
Overall this is a practical, modern family home with strong energy credentials and versatile living spaces, ready for families seeking town-and-country living close to Rutland Water.
