Situation:

The village of Lyddington is highly attractive, set on the Rutland border and yet providing easy access to neighbouring conurbations, lying on the northern edge of the valley of the river Welland, where a stream, the Hlyde, from which the village is believed to take its name, forms a tributary valley. Lyddington is home to two public houses, The Marquess of Exeter and The White Hart, both of which provide food and accommodation. The 14th century Grade I Listed St. Andrew’s Church houses concerts during the summer from renowned artists. The Lyddington Manor History Society meets for monthly talks in the Village Hall where a film night is also held once a month. Also of historical note is the beautiful English Heritage, Grade I Listed Bede House, which was originally a medieval wing of a palace.

The surrounding area is rural with many scenic walks and bridleways. Eyebrook Reservoir, located approximately one mile from the village, has lovely walks by the water, bird watching, and seasonal fly fishing. Lyndon Nature Reserve lies on the south shore of Rutland Water and is home to the Rutland Osprey Project and is a fantastic place for bird watching and nature trails. Rutland Water provides sailing, fishing, scenic walks, windsurfing, and a cycle route. Golf is available at Luffenham Heath and Greetham Valley golf clubs.

Communications in the area are excellent with A47 trunk road connecting the cities of Leicester and Peterborough, some three miles to the north, whilst one mile to the west lies the A6003 providing good road access to the town of Kettering, where mainline rail services connect with London St Pancras in under the hour.

The nearby market town of Uppingham, with a weekly market, provides a good range of everyday shopping facilities whilst the market towns of Oakham, Market Harborough, Stamford, and Oundle, which provide excellent state and private schooling, are also within easy reach.

Description:

Raised from the road by a grassy bank and built from handsome ironstone, 29 Main Street is a delightful, quintessentially chocolate-box, cottage with a plethora of original features throughout. The property has recently undergone a scheme of renovation.

From the reception hall to the left is the dual aspect sitting room complete with window seats, feature beams, exposed stone, and an inglenook fireplace with ESSE multi-fuel burner.

Moving through to the rear of the home is the kitchen-breakfast room featuring the original bread oven. Triple aspect with high ceilings, the traditional shaker-style kitchen comprises a built-in; Belfast sink, hob and extractor, oven-grill combi, slim dishwasher, and fridge-freezer. There is ample preparation space on the granite worktops and island, which also has bar seating to it. The side door provides access to the courtyard garden and outbuildings.

Completing the ground floor of 29 Main Street is a separate dining room cum library with built-in, floor-to-ceiling book shelving and a large understairs cupboard.

Rising to the first floor the cottage characteristics continue with deep-set windowsills and feature beams. The Principal bedroom benefits from a built-in bank of wardrobes and there is a further double bedroom. The family bathroom has a beautiful, exposed stone feature wall and a bath with a shower overhead.

From the landing, there is also access to an airing cupboard and the loft. The loft is boarded and has windows as well as being divided into two rooms. Subject to relevant planning permissions the loft has the potential to be converted into further living accommodation.

OUTSIDE

The rear garden can be accessed from either the side gate or the kitchen door, where both open onto a small courtyard with outside taps and electrics.

Opposite the kitchen are two red brick outbuildings, one is currently utilised as a utility with plumbing and electricity, whilst the other outbuilding is generous storage.

The fully enclosed, raised, gravel garden features mature herbaceous beds with an array of roses, alliums, eryngium, verbena, salvia, and sedum.
