This handsome four-bedroom Victorian cottage sits in the heart of South Luffenham and will appeal to families seeking village life with countryside access. Period features — original fireplaces, sash windows and pine floorboards — give the house character, while a south-facing rear garden, fruit trees and a summer house provide secure outdoor space for children and year-round entertaining.
Internally the rooms are well-proportioned across three storeys: two sitting rooms, a generous kitchen with pantry, a principal bedroom with dual-aspect sashes, two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a second-floor study plus a fourth bedroom in the eaves. The property is freehold and regularly used, offering immediate occupation for a family wanting village community life close to Rutland’s open spaces.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property was built before 1900 in sandstone and is assumed to have no cavity wall insulation; the double glazing was fitted before 2002; there is a single bathroom only; and broadband speeds are slow. Council tax is in the higher band for the area. These facts make the house ideal for purchasers seeking character and willing to invest modestly in energy upgrades and modernisation.
Opportunities include reinstating off-street parking via the double gates, improving energy performance (wall insulation, window upgrades) and reconfiguring some living space to add a second bathroom if required. For families the excellent local schools and proximity to Rutland Water make this a compelling village home with long-term lifestyle upside.
