3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Main Street, Lyddington, Oakham, Rutland LE15

A beautifully appointed ironstone period cottage, which occupies a discreet position in the heart of this popular village, with off-road parking and a fabulous, private garden.

Description
48 Main Street (known as North Cottage) is a pretty semi-detached stone-built cottage which is tucked away in a hidden position, accessed off Main Street, in the core of the attractive Conservation Village of Lyddington, two miles south of the Rutland Market Town of Uppingham.

The property dates from circa 1680 and combines a modern feel, whilst retaining character and period features, including fabulous exposed beams and brick fireplaces, which are beautifully complemented by the modern, country inspired décor and the wood-framed extension to the rear.

The house is well appointed both inside and out and has been lovingly maintained and enhanced, with an oak framed dining room extension in 2011, that floods the interior with natural light thanks to its high vaulted ceiling and full-height glazing.

In addition to the dining room, there is also space for a table within the modern kitchen, which is fitted with a suite that incorporates a variety of integrated appliances, coupled with an Everhot range cooker (not included in the sale) and wood-burning stove.

The full-width sitting room has a timber beamed ceiling and an open fire within a fabulous exposed stone chimney breast, whilst a cloakroom/W.C. Completes the ground floor. At first floor level, the three double bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, lit by skylights, with a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside: A gravelled driveway provides off-street parking to the north side of the cottage, whilst to the east the wonderfully secluded lawned garden has mixed species trees, shrubs and well-stocked borders, with a terrace and vegetable garden. A detached stone under tin outbuilding within the garden is divided into a utility and a storeroom, whilst the building has plumbing and electrics.
