Set on Grantham Lane just outside Empingham, this detached four-bedroom cottage sits on a generous plot with open countryside views to front and rear. The house blends traditional character—feature fireplace, chimney, sandstone/limestone walls—with practical modern updates such as a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a Rayburn. Mature, well-stocked gardens include raised vegetable beds, a patio and useful outbuildings, while private driveway parking accommodates up to three cars.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple floors and works well for family life. The ground floor offers a welcoming reception room, spacious open-plan kitchen/dining area with walk-in pantry, and a cloakroom/WC. Upstairs are three good bedrooms and a family bathroom; the top floor is dedicated to a light principal bedroom with an en-suite (underfloor heating) and eaves storage. A versatile fourth bedroom can double as a study, nursery or guest room.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low crime and easy access to Stamford, Oakham, the A1 and Rutland Water. Local schooling options range from highly rated primaries to independent senior schools, making the location especially appealing to families.
Notable considerations: the stone walls are assumed uninsulated and main heating is via room heaters with dual fuel (mineral and wood), so energy performance and insulation upgrades may be needed. Glazing type is not defined. The property is traditional and will suit buyers happy to retain period character or to invest in thermal improvements and further modernisation where desired.
