Summary - KINGSTONE COTTAGE, 1 CHAPEL STREET BELTON IN RUTLAND OAKHAM LE15 9JT
3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Grade II listed mid‑1700s ironstone cottage with village and church views.
Kingstone Cottage is a honey‑coloured, Grade II listed ironstone home dating to the mid‑1700s, set in the heart of Belton‑in‑Rutland. The house feels immediately welcoming: a wisteria‑clad façade, bay‑fronted sitting room with an ingle fireplace and a double‑height, beamed kitchen provide authentic period living spaces that suit family life and village entertaining. The garden, orchard and summerhouse extend living outdoors and offer room for children and pets to roam.
Internally the layout combines character with practical spaces: a mezzanine retreat beneath A‑frame beams, a large laundry/utility off the courtyard, and an outbuilding that could be kept as storage or converted with the right consents. The home totals about 1,901 sq ft across three principal levels, giving comfortable bedroom sizes and flexible attic space for a study or guest room.
Buyers should be clear about the property’s constraints. Its Grade II listing and conservation‑area location mean repairs, alterations and energy upgrades will require listed‑building consent and careful planning. The EPC is rated F and heating is oil‑fired via a boiler and radiators; walls are likely uninsulated sandstone, so improving thermal performance will be both necessary and subject to listed‑building regulations. Broadband speeds are slow, and the home sits on oil rather than mains gas — factors to consider for daily running costs and modern connectivity.
For families or buyers seeking a characterful village home, Kingstone Cottage delivers a rare mix of history, garden space and village views. It suits those who value authenticity and are willing to invest time and budget into sensitive upgrading and ongoing conservation of a listed country cottage.
