What the Owner Told Us...

"I hope the next owners love this house as much as I have. The garden is my favourite place. It's peaceful, private and such a lovely place to spend time. The neighbours are wonderful, the road is very quiet, and the bungalow has been a fantastic home for our family."

Our Thoughts...

Some homes just feel comfortable from the moment you walk through the door.

This beautifully presented detached bungalow on Aveland Road is one of them.

Lovingly improved by the current owner and immaculately maintained throughout, it's a home that offers generous living space, a wonderful private garden and the kind of practical layout that makes everyday life easy. Whether you're looking to downsize without compromise, enjoy the convenience of single-storey living, or simply find a home you can move straight into and enjoy from day one, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

Set back from the road behind a generous driveway, the property immediately feels welcoming. Step inside and you'll find a spacious entrance hall with a large built-in storage cupboard, perfect for coats, shoes and all those everyday essentials that never seem to have a home.

The living room is a lovely space to relax. Dual aspect windows allow natural light to flow through the room throughout the day, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. It's easy to imagine spending a quiet evening here with a good book, enjoying time with family, or simply unwinding after a busy day.

The kitchen sits at the heart of the home and is modern, stylish and practical, it offers plenty of workspace along with a central island that naturally becomes the hub of daily life. Whether you're preparing meals, catching up with friends over coffee or hosting family gatherings, it's a space designed to be enjoyed. The adjoining dining area provides plenty of room for entertaining and everyday living alike.

Beyond the kitchen, the conservatory adds another wonderful reception space. Overlooking the garden, it's a room you'll find yourself drawn to throughout the year. Somewhere to enjoy your morning coffee, read the newspaper, or simply sit and admire the changing colours of the garden.

The bedroom accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged. The principal bedroom was extended by the current owner and now offers a generous retreat complete with fitted wardrobes, dual aspect windows and a modern en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is a comfortable double bedroom with its own built-in wardrobe, while bedroom three provides flexibility as a guest room, hobby room, study or occasional bedroom depending on your needs.

The family shower room has also been completely renovated and features a contemporary oversized walk-in shower, vanity unit and WC. Stylish, practical and beautifully finished, it perfectly complements the rest of the home.

"The layout is great and being a bungalow it's all accessible. The garden is a quiet sanctuary and there's ample off-road parking."

Outside is where this home really comes into its own.

Directly behind the bungalow is a raised patio that feels like a natural extension of the living space. It's the perfect spot for summer lunches, entertaining friends or simply enjoying a peaceful afternoon in the sunshine. Steps lead down to a further gravel seating area before opening into a beautifully established garden filled with mature planting, colour and privacy.

Unlike many modern gardens, this one feels wonderfully settled. The planting has matured beautifully, creating a peaceful backdrop and plenty of interest throughout the seasons.

"The garden is my favourite place. It's so peaceful out there."

Adding even more versatility is the garden office located behind the garage and accessed from the garden. Whether you're working from home, pursuing hobbies, running a small business or simply looking for a space of your own, it's a fantastic addition. There is also a further storage shed at the rear of the garden.

The garage sits alongside the bungalow and benefits from an electric garage door to the front, while the generous driveway provides plenty of parking for family and visitors alike.

What really stands out is just how much care has gone into this home. During their ownership, the current owner has extended the principal bedroom, created the en-suite, installed a new kitchen, fitted a new bathroom, replaced the boiler, completely rewired the property, redecorated throughout, laid a new patio, improved the driveway and boarded part of the loft with ladder access.

The result is a home that feels loved, cared for and ready for its next chapter.

"Three words to describe our home? Homely, quiet and cosy."

This is the sort of bungalow that buyers spend months hoping will come to market. Spacious yet manageable, practical yet beautifully presented, and offering the rare combination of village living, privacy and convenience.

If you're looking for a home where you can simply unpack, settle in and start enjoying life, we'd strongly recommend arranging a viewing.

Location...

Ketton has earned its reputation as one of Rutland's most desirable villages, and it's easy to see why.

The village offers a wonderful balance of community spirit, everyday convenience and beautiful countryside surroundings. It's the kind of place where neighbours know one another, where people stop for a chat, and where village life still feels very much alive.

One of the things residents love most about Ketton is the range of amenities available right on the doorstep. Within the village you'll find a well-stocked village shop and Post Office, The Railway Inn, a library, gym facilities, sports clubs, village hall, church and highly regarded primary school. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in village life, while still enjoying the peace and privacy that the area offers.

For wine lovers and those who enjoy supporting local businesses, Rutland Vineyard sits on the edge of the village and has become a popular destination for tours, tastings and events throughout the year.

The surrounding countryside provides endless opportunities for walking and exploring, while nearby Rutland Water offers sailing, cycling, birdwatching and some of the finest outdoor recreation in the region.

Stamford is less than ten minutes away and provides everything you could need for day-to-day living. Frequently recognised as one of the finest market towns in the country, it offers an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, healthcare facilities and leisure amenities. Whether it's a morning coffee, lunch with friends or a leisurely afternoon browsing the town's beautiful Georgian streets, Stamford is always close at hand.

Oakham, Uppingham and Oundle are also within easy reach, giving residents access to some of the East Midlands' most attractive market towns.

For those with family and friends travelling from further afield, Stamford railway station is approximately four miles away, whilst the A1 can be reached within a short drive, providing convenient access both north and south.

For many buyers, however, it's not the transport links that make Ketton special. It's the lifestyle. The combination of a friendly community, excellent local amenities, beautiful countryside and easy access to Stamford creates a way of life that many people dream about but rarely find.

It's easy to understand why so many people move here and never want to leave.
