Summary - CROSS ROADS COTTAGES 4 GRANTHAM LANE EMPINGHAM STAMFORD PE9 4AG
4 bed 2 bath Cottage
Spacious period cottage with gardens, parking and stunning open country views.
Detached four-bedroom cottage with elevated countryside views front and rear
Set on Grantham Lane near Empingham, this detached four-bedroom cottage blends period charm with generous family living and uninterrupted countryside views. The extended, light-filled principal bedroom occupies the top floor and benefits from an en‑suite with underfloor heating; the rear open-plan kitchen/dining room with a Rayburn and pantry is ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. Mature, well-stocked gardens include raised vegetable beds, a patio and greenhouse, while outbuildings and a large shed provide useful storage.
Practical strengths include private off‑street parking for up to three vehicles via a private driveway, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and low local crime in an affluent, village setting with easy access to Stamford, Rutland Water and the A1. Nearby schools receive good to outstanding Ofsted ratings, making the location appealing to families.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the building dates from before 1900 and the external walls are sandstone/limestone with no assumed insulation, which will affect running costs and could require upgrading. Heating is by room heaters with dual fuel (mineral and wood) rather than a modern central system, and glazing type is not defined — buyers should budget for potential improvement works to thermal efficiency and services. There is no flood risk noted.
This cottage suits buyers looking for a comfortable family home in a quiet village who value outdoor space, storage and countryside vistas, and who are prepared to invest in energy-efficiency upgrades to modernise the fabric and heating.
