The hallway passes two versatile rooms, currently an office and gym, to double doors which open into the impressive dual-aspect, open plan sitting/dining room, from which two sets of French doors open to the garden terrace, with an attractive open stone fireplace, with raised grate, within the sitting room.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a bespoke and well appointed shaker style suite, with wall and base units, beneath granite worktops, Belfast style sink and integrated hob and ovens.

A staircase also rises to the second floor attic, which offers excellent storage to which plumbing and electrics have been installed in anticipation of its conversion for further en suite bedroom accommodation, approved as part of the enacted consent, but not carried out.

Ancillary Annex: At the northern end of the garden, adjoining the field access, a detached single storey ancillary annex offers overspill accommodation to the house, or a fabulous working office or games room/gym or indeed a self contained studio. With a fitted kitchen, linking to an open plan living area, and with French doors to the garden, there is a single bedroom and a shower room.

The driveway continues, through double gates, through the garden to the field. A wide stone terrace adjoins the house, whilst lawn sweeps from the house to the annex and post & rail fenced field, past a kitchen garden area and two sets of brick outbuildings.

The paddock is post and rail fenced, with a timber stable shelter and hay store. The property, as a whole, extends to circa 3.52 acres.

Location
The Hambleton peninsula juts out into Rutland Water, a man-made reservoir, maintained by Anglian Water, that was created in 1975 by the damming of The Gwash Valley. The ridge of land that marked the tide line is the Hambleton peninsula, which is a unique slice of Rutland countryside almost entirely surrounded by the beautiful Rutland water.

The peninsula is highly sought after and is a mecca for wildlife, particularly birds, being a tranquil and undisturbed slice of rural England. Rutland Water also provides stunning walks, sailing and fishing.

The Finch's Arms is well known within the village, whilst the county market town of Oakham, is just over 3 miles away and provides for all ones day to day shopping requirements.

Further afield, Stamford, Uppingham, Market Harborough, Leicester and Peterborough provide for more extensive shopping, leisure and entertainment.

The area is renowned for its exceptional schooling with Oakham, Uppingham and Oundle all within striking distance.
