Set in a popular Rutland village, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers scope to extend and modernise (STP). The Cottage sits on a decent plot with generous front and rear lawns, mature borders, greenhouse and shed — space for children, pets or a vegetable garden. Its position is convenient for village amenities, a well-regarded primary school, two pubs and a short drive to Stamford.
The accommodation is straightforward and practical: entrance hall, living room with chimney breast, kitchen opening to a dining room, ground-floor WC and useful storerooms. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The house benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002, making it comfortable now while offering clear potential for value uplift through refurbishment or extension.
Buyers should note the property is cosmetically dated and will need modernisation; the stone walls are likely uninsulated and internal works may be required to improve energy efficiency. Off-street parking is possible to create on the front lawn but is not currently formalised. There is only one bathroom and limited built-in storage, so families should consider layout changes or small extensions to increase practicality.
Chain-free and freehold, this cottage will suit a family wanting village life with good links to Stamford, first-time buyers prepared to invest in improvements, or investors seeking a rental in a very affluent, low-crime area. Survey and service checks are recommended before purchase, especially if planning structural changes or insulation works.
