An elegant and uplifting period home, with lovely gardens and an ancillary flat, within an attractive Conservation Village five miles from both Stamford & Rutland Water
Description
The period house combines character, sought after period features and a lovely flow to its elegant and versatile accommodation.
The house offers three formal reception rooms, with a grand and spacious hallway, and five double bedrooms over two floors, served by two bathrooms. In addition, a self-contained one bedroom flat, know as The Apple Loft, provides ancillary accommodation. Currently let as an Air B n B, it also offers extra accommodation for family & friends or could be used as an office for working at home.
The late 17th century house, with its limestone elevations under a Collyweston slate roof, was originally a Dower House, according to its listing, and it retains the elegance, feel and features of the Georgian era. The landscaped gardens are delightful, extending to approx 0.48 of an acre, and offer space for families and entertaining. There is gated off-road parking from the High Street, as well as secondary vehicular access at the rear of the garden, to the east, off Green Lane.
Accommodation:
The house stands on Duddington's picturesque high street, set back behind an attractive, low stone wall with Regency style porch. Wrought iron gates open to the north side of the house to provide vehicular access to the property’s driveway and generous off-road parking.
From the parking, the house is entered through a side porch into the spacious and symmetrical reception hallway, which occupies the centre of the house and sets the scene to this generous house as a fabulous space to which receive and meet guests.
To the left, rounded steps rise up to a magnificent drawing room. This spacious and dual-aspect room has a particularly high ceiling and sense of grandeur, with a fireplace centrepiece housing a wood burning stove, which is flanked by bookcases. French doors open to the south, to a beautiful courtyard garden, with pergola and vine, whilst there are also attractive views over the gardens.
From the reception hallway, there is a cloakroom/wc, whilst an archway leads to a rear entrance hall, with accesses a utility room, a pantry and the kitchen, with a back door to the courtyard garden.
The dual aspect, family kitchen has character and charm, and ample space for a table for informal family dining. With vaulted ceiling, exposed stonework walls and stone mullioned windows, this is the true ‘heart of the home’, with a fabulous fitted suite, complete with mains gas two-oven AGA and conventional oven and induction hob, aside from other integrated appliances.
The kitchen is directly alongside the formal dining room, so perfectly placed for hosting and entertaining. This elegant room has a period open fireplace and working shutters to its mullioned windows, with a door that connects to the front door’s formal entrance hallway, across which is the sitting room.
The dual-aspect sitting room completes the ground floor accommodation. With fitted shelving and storage, it would also double as an excellent play room or home office. The stone fireplace and wood burner create a cosy feel, whilst window seats provide the perfect spot to relax.
The ground floor W.C completes the ground floor.
