Dating back to circa 1700, this detached period house offers generous family accommodation and unmistakable character close to Oakham town centre. High ceilings, sash windows, original tiled hallway, oak staircase and multiple fireplaces create an authentic period atmosphere while an open-plan kitchen/dining/family room and separate office meet modern family needs. The property includes five bedrooms (attic room used as bedroom/study), a conservatory, utility and useful outbuildings, set on a large town plot with a gated gravel driveway and enclosed rear garden.
Practical strengths include off-street parking, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, triple glazing and a layout that suits multi-generation or home-working families. The house is within easy walking distance of Oakham School, local shops and transport links, making it convenient for school runs and town amenities.
Buyers should note material considerations: the EPC rating is E, council tax band is high (expensive), and the area records higher local crime levels. The listing records only one principal bathroom for a five-bedroom house, which may be restrictive for large families and could prompt reconfiguration or extension. The house is unlisted but period fabric means maintenance and sympathetic repairs are likely to be needed over time.
Overall, this sizeable, characterful home will suit buyers seeking a prominent, flexible family residence in central Oakham who are prepared to invest in updating energy performance and adapting internal layout to their needs. Its plot, proximity to schools and multiple reception rooms offer clear long-term family appeal.
