Property description
Tucked away in the charming village of Greetham, this striking four/five-bedroom home is constructed from beautiful Clipsham stone, giving it timeless kerb appeal. Set across three thoughtfully designed floors, it blends traditional character with modern comfort, offering spacious accommodation, landscaped gardens, and a private, gated driveway with oversized garage. Recently enhanced with high-quality upgrades, including new acoustic-glass double-glazed windows, plantation shutters, and a newly installed boiler with hot water tank in the first-floor airing cupboard, the property has been lovingly maintained and is ready to welcome its next family. With gas central heating and an EPC rating of C, it also offers excellent efficiency.A Welcoming EntranceArriving through the rear entrance, you step into a light and airy hallway, finished with engineered oak flooring. Built-in storage under the staircase provides a practical touch, while the layout flows easily through the principal ground floor rooms. To one side lies the dual-aspect living room, an inviting space with a central log-burning stove, perfect for gathering around on cooler evenings. Opposite, the dining room exudes traditional charm with exposed beams and a view to the front, setting the scene for relaxed family meals and more formal entertaining alike.Heart of the HomeThe kitchen is a true highlight — designed with both function and style in mind. Shaker-style units are complemented by solid oak worktops and a ceramic sink, while space is provided for a range cooker and modern appliances. Subtle lighting and tasteful finishes make this a room to be enjoyed every day, whether preparing family meals or hosting guests. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the conservatory/garden room is filled with natural light and opens directly to the rear garden, creating a wonderful year-round connection between indoors and out.A versatile utility room completes the ground floor. Currently fitted with a wash hand basin, it retains the original plumbing, giving buyers the option to reinstate a downstairs cloakroom if desired.Flexible Family LivingThe first floor is home to three well-proportioned bedrooms, including the principal suite. The main bedroom, positioned at the front of the home, features its own modern en-suite shower room with stylish fittings. Another of the bedrooms is currently arranged as a dressing room, with fitted wardrobes and a built-in cupboard, but can easily be returned to use as a bedroom if preferred. The remaining bedroom on this floor is served, along with the others, by a smartly presented family bathroom with a corner bath and shower.The second floor adds two further double bedrooms and a convenient W.C. One is currently configured as a study, benefitting from additional power points, making it perfectly suited as a dedicated home office. Both rooms enjoy charming skylight windows, natural light, and flexible use as bedrooms, guest spaces, teenage retreats, or work-from-home areas. Useful eaves storage ensures practicality is not compromised.A Garden for All SeasonsStep outside, and the home continues to impress. A secure, gated driveway provides parking for up to three vehicles, alongside a detached oversized garage. Equipped with power, lighting, a personnel door, and side window, the garage offers excellent potential for use beyond parking — whether as a workshop, hobby space, or secure storage. The rear garden, north facing yet wonderfully bright, has been beautifully landscaped to balance ease of maintenance with areas to enjoy. A newly decked seating area makes an ideal spot for summer entertaining, while a neat lawn and well-stocked borders add greenery and colour. The garden is not overlooked, offering complete privacy and a peaceful backdrop, with a nearby stream adding to the tranquil atmosphere. To the front, the property faces directly onto the main road but sits behind a stone wall, giving both presence and separation.Life in GreethamGreetham is a welcoming village with a strong sense of community, offering two well-regarded pubs, a community centre, and a church. Its location is particularly prized, with the A1 just moments away, giving fast access to nearby towns and cities. Oakham is just 10 minutes away, Stamford 15 minutes, and Melton Mowbray around 30 minutes by car. Grantham and Peterborough both offer mainline rail links to London Kings Cross in approximately an hour.A Home to TreasureThis is a property that offers much more than generous square footage. Originally designed as a five-bedroom home, it has been carefully updated and thoughtfully styled by the current owners, with one room adapted as a dressing room and another as a study. With its blend of traditional stone craftsmanship, practical versatility, and a location that combines tranquillity with convenience, it represents a rare opportunity in one of Rutland’s more desirable villages.
