5 bedroom character property for sale

Tudor Cottage, originally built in the 16th century, is a charming and deceptively spacious, five-bedroom Grade II listed cottage that has been beautifully and sympathetically renovated throughout whilst retaining its original character, sitting on a wrap-around plot nestled into the heart of this quiet Rutland hamlet.

Ground Floor - Enter the property via an entrance porch leading into an entrance hall/reception room that's full of character with exposed beams, timber flooring and a wonderful inglenook fireplace housing a woodburning stove and the old bread oven. There are a further two reception rooms, and a study.

The main living room, spanning the depth of the property, sits to the east side of the property with a dual aspect, a built-in electric fire and French doors opening out to the garden. The second reception room, the garden room, sits to the rear with glazing on all sides and another set of French doors opening out to the patio and garden beyond.

A rear hallway runs from the living room across the back of the house providing access to the downstairs cloakroom and flowing into the dining kitchen. The kitchen itself has beautiful exposed stone walls, beams to the ceiling and a comprehensive range of fitted units with space for appliances, a stable door out to the patio and a side porch providing access to the private driveway and double garage.

First & Second Floor - The bedroom and bathroom accommodation is arranged over the first and second floors. To the first floor there are four bedrooms, one with an ensuite and the other three served by a family bathroom comprising a bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and low flush lavatory.

There are two further bedrooms to the second floor, one generously sized with an ensuite shower room, the second, a smaller room that is currently used for storage but could be utilised as a single bedroom.

Outside - The property is approached via a five-bar timber gate opening onto a block-paved driveway providing ample parking and access to the detached double garage. The garden itself wraps around the entire property, mainly laid to lawn with well-established planting and specimen trees throughout and a mature ornamental pond.

To the rear, there is a large block-paved and flagstone patio offering a wonderful outside space for entertaining and enjoying the southerly orientation providing sun for the entirety of the day.

Tudor Cottage is wonderful home that has been sympathetically renovated and beautifully presented by its current owners whilst still bursting with character throughout.
