4 bed detached house for sale

Wakerley Road, Barrowden, Oakham LE15

Summary
Situated in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Barrowden in the picturesque county of Rutland, this four-bedroom bungalow presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property with significant potential in one of the area's most desirable locations.

Description
Approaching the property, a generous driveway provides ample parking and leads to a double garage. To the rear of this sits a useful workshop, ideal for hobbies, storage or practical workspace.

Entering the home through the entrance lobby, you are welcomed into the central hallway which forms the spine of the property. Directly ahead lies the kitchen which flows through into the dining room, a layout that offers exciting potential to be opened up and transformed into one impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space, perfect for modern living and entertaining. To the rear of the kitchen is an extension currently arranged as a WC and utility room, providing practical everyday functionality and convenient access out to the garden.

Returning through the dining room, you step into the spacious lounge. This inviting room is wonderfully bright, with three windows allowing natural light to pour in and creating a warm and airy atmosphere-an ideal space for relaxing or hosting guests.

The property has a well-balanced layout, with the living accommodation positioned to the right-hand side of the home, while the bedrooms are arranged to the left-hand side, creating a natural separation between living and sleeping areas. From the hallway, the bedroom accommodation extends across this side of the property. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the garden and benefits from its own en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms follow along the hallway, one of which features French doors opening directly onto the garden, creating a lovely connection to the outside space. A fourth bedroom across the hallway to the front of the property offers flexibility as another double bedroom, home office or multifunctional room. Serving this area of the home is a generous family bathroom with separate shower and an additional WC.

Externally, the property continues to impress. In addition to the attached garages and workshop space, there is a substantial separate garage/workshop building that has been constructed with planning permission already in place. This offers exceptional flexibility for future owners, whether as additional living accommodation (subject to any further permissions), a home office, studio, or workshop.

The gardens wrap around the entire property, creating a sense of privacy and space rarely found. The grounds open out towards fields beyond, giving the home a wonderfully peaceful and rural outlook while still being part of a thriving village community.

Barrowden itself is widely regarded as one of Rutland's most desirable villages, known for its attractive stone cottages, strong sense of community and excellent village pub. Despite its idyllic rural feel, it is conveniently located just a short drive from three historic market towns.

Uppingham (10mins away), Stamford (15mins away) and Oakham (18mins away) all offer an excellent range of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, along with a variety of local amenities and highly regarded schooling options. Peterborough (25mins away) offers regular direct train links to Kings Cross, London in under 1 hour, making the village of Barrowden a particularly appealing location for families and professionals alike.

Combining an enviable village setting, generous grounds and outstanding scope for development and personalisation, this property represents a truly rare opportunity to create a remarkable home in one of Rutland's most coveted locations.
