Summary - 1, MAIN STREET, OAKHAM, THORPE BY WATER LE15 9JQ
4 bed 1 bath Character Property
Spacious period home with extensive grounds close to Oakham and Uppingham.
Approximately 1.6 acres of gardens, lawns and paddock
Set on about 1.6 acres in the peaceful village of Thorpe By Water, this Grade II listed stone cottage blends period charm with flexible family living. Original features such as leaded casement windows, chimneys and an Ingle Nook fireplace sit alongside a modern farmhouse kitchen with an AGA and island, creating a comfortable heart to the home.
The house offers four bedrooms across two main storeys plus attic space, multiple reception rooms and a detached garage with a useful studio above. Grounds include mature gardens, open lawns and a paddock, giving scope for gardening, hobby equestrian use or private outdoor living. Off-street parking is generous thanks to a large gravel driveway.
Buyers should note the listed status: any alterations will be subject to listed building controls and may complicate renovation. There is a single main bathroom plus several WC facilities, so larger families may find bathing arrangements limited without adaptation. Council tax is above average for the area.
Overall this property will suit buyers seeking a substantial character home in a prosperous rural setting who value original features and outside space. It presents opportunities for sympathetic updating internally while already offering a high degree of presentability and usable ancillary accommodation above the garage.
