This charming 18th-century south-facing period cottage, nestled in the heart of a picturesque Rutland Conservation Village, boasts a wealth of character and period grace. Formerly the village's bakery, it has been lovingly transformed into a spacious and inviting single dwelling. The grade II listed property is situated at the end of a quiet lane, offering a tranquil retreat with minimal passing traffic, yet is within walking distance to a handful of houses and a well-regarded village shop, post office, primary school, and public houses. The cottage's L-shaped layout features a wide stone flagged entrance hall, leading to a spacious sitting room with fitted bookcases and an open plan family kitchen with stone fireplace and adjoining dining area, both of which open onto the courtyard garden. The first floor offers three charming double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A unique feature of this property is the first-floor Granary, accessed via an external stone staircase, providing an additional characterful office space. The detached studio at the rear, with two creative workspaces and a shower/bathroom, could serve as an ancillary annex (subject to planning). The property benefits from mains water, gas, electricity, and drainage, along with mains gas-fired central heating and superfast broadband. The local authority is Rutland County Council. The village is well-positioned for access to several prestigious private and prep schools, including Copthill, Brooke Priory, and Witham Hall, and is within a 12-mile radius of the Georgian market towns of Stamford, Oakham, and Uppingham. Stamford offers hourly train services to London Kings Cross in about an hour, and the cathedral city of Peterborough is just 18 miles south with East Coast Mainline rail services to London Kings Cross in about 46 minutes. The property's square footage is approximately 1,480 sq ft.
