Charming period cottage in sought-after Rutland village with private courtyard.
Three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 1,378 sq ft
Wayside Cottage is a quintessential Rutland village home, arranged over two floors with generous rooms and original period character throughout. Exposed timbers, wooden shutters and dual wood-burning stoves create a cosy, characterful atmosphere while high ceilings keep rooms feeling airy.
The ground floor offers two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and a ground-floor shower room with stained glass detail. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom with rolltop bath and separate shower. The property extends to about 1,378 sq ft and includes a private, low-maintenance courtyard garden with a useful workshop.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric room heaters, mains services are connected, and the EPC is rated F. The property has a flying freehold element and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated). Broadband speeds are reported slow — relevant for regular home-working — though mobile signal is excellent. Overall, this is a well-presented period cottage suited to buyers who prioritise character, village life and proximity to Rutland amenities, and who are comfortable addressing energy-efficiency improvements over time.
