5 bedroom detached house for sale

With its rural backdrop and ease of access to Oakham and Rutland Water, discover the comforts of new build living, in the peace and tranquility of the countryside at Rupple House in Langham.

Fresh and Contemporary

Neatly tucked away along a private driveway off Cold Overton Road, ample parking is available on the block paved driveway ahead of the double garage. Built in 2020, Rupple House retains its modern, box fresh feel within, stepping into the spacious entrance hallway, warmed by underfloor heating and dressed in silky modern shades. Stash your coat and shoes in the understairs cupboard, with a playfully decorated downstairs cloakroom also available.

Savour the Moment

Sun streams in at every opportunity, showering the home in natural illumination, drawn through the rooms via glazed doors. A celebration of light and space, the modern, open plan family kitchen is the heart of the home. Streamlined, handleless cabinetry serves two sides of the room, with a spacious central island breakfast bar seating four. Ideal for entertaining, appliances include double Siemens oven, dishwasher, undermounted sink, induction hob and full-length fridge, with separate freezer in the laundry room. Tucked off the laundry room is the utility room with space for airing washing and housing the underfloor heating tech.

Entertaining Spaces

Wine, dine and unwind, with ample space for a dining table and sofa before a corner of bifolding doors connecting to the private and peaceful garden. Sky blue shades are refreshing in the formal sitting room, where engineered oak flooring extends and wide bifold doors frame verdant views over the rear garden. Estate fencing offers unbroken vistas over the countryside beyond, whilst the bifolds provide instant access to the outdoors in the summertime.

Flair and Flow

Rupple House is home to a thoughtfully designed one bedroom annexe. Accessed from the sitting room, discover a living area and double bedroom with en suite shower room, perfect for visiting relatives. With its own entrance from the driveway, consider the potential to use the annexe for hosting Airbnb stays.

Soak and Sleep

Light pours in through a window on the turn of the stairs, spilling down the solid wood and glass staircase whilst amply illuminating the large landing. Four further spacious double bedrooms await at Rupple House, with one currently serving as a dressing room, highlighting the versatility of the home. The dual aspect guest bedroom rivals the principal suite for size, and boasts a shower room en suite. In the family bathroom off the landing, enjoy a soak in the centrally filling bathtub with showerhead attachment; a separate shower, wash basin and lavatory also feature. The principal suite showcases views out over the Rutland countryside through a dramatic wall of windows and French doors which open to a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden and countryside views beyond. Fitted wardrobes provide ample storage, with a luxurious en suite shower room, warmed by underfloor heating.

Peace and Privacy

Outside, the wraparound garden is mainly laid to lawn, offering versatility and providing a safe space for children and pets. South facing and sunny, the garden with its terrace and seating areas, is the perfect place for entertaining in the summer months. To the front of the home, the double garage has been separated into a home gym with storage room and office space above, making a peaceful place to work or study from home.
