The south-easterly facing dwelling was renovated in 2009 when it was reconfigured, electrically rewired, re-plumbed and damp-proofed. The charming house has a fresh feel and is presented with a mix of oak, stone flagged and carpeted flooring and some lovely detail features. The Devol kitchen is impressive, whilst the four bedrooms are served by four modern bath and shower suites. There are beautiful southerly views from all the principal rooms to its garden and, from the first floor, over its land. The conversion of the detached double garage into a studio annexe has also enacted planning consent (re. FUL/2009/1290) permitting a two storey extension wing to the house with a repositioned kitchen and a first floor sitting room. Approached along a sweeping gravelled driveway to the west of the house, a secondary access gateway to the east potentially allows for the creation of an ‘in and out’ driveway. Situation Ketton is an attractive village, 3 miles west of Stamford. The village supports a local shop and post office, a primary school and 2 public houses. There is also a doctor’s surgery and library. In addition to the village’s school, several of the area’s favoured schools, including Copthill, Brooke Priory and Witham Hall Prep and Stamford, Oakham and Uppingham Schools among others, are all within a 12 mile radius. Rutland is England’s smallest county and, in Rutland Water, has its largest reservoir by surface area. Less than 5 miles from the property, it offers a water based playground with sailing and fishing clubs, as well as cycle routes and walks. Stamford is an attractive Georgian Market Town, England’s first Conservation Area and well known for Burghley House. It is well- serviced and a pleasant market town to use as a retail and social base, whilst its railway station offers direct hourly services to Peterborough and Cambridge on the Birmingham Airport to Stansted Airport Midlands Cross Country line. Accommodation The front door opens within an open canopy porch, to an entrance hallway which is flanked by a study and a snug and also accesses a utility room, boot room and a stone flagged shower room. The principal rooms line the southern frontage of the house. The dual aspect study has an open fireplace and, adjacent to the ground floor shower/cloak room, has been used at times as a ground floor fifth bedroom. The snug has double doors from the hallway and an open fireplace. The oak floored Devol kitchen/breakfast room has an extensive range of units beneath granite and solid wood worktops, along with a large central island with breakfast bar seating. Incorporating a double Belfast sink, six-ring double oven Kenwood gas range, an electric double oven and dishwasher, the kitchen is well-equipped, whilst the pantry offers further storage. The dining room, separated by a staircase, has French doors to the garden, whilst the sitting room is a well-proportioned room with a ‘Clearview’ stove and oak dressed shelving units. At first floor, the vaulted and strip wood floored principal bedroom has an airy ‘New England’ feel with exposed timbers and fine views. It adjoins the family bathroom, which has wood flooring, a free-standing roll-topped bath and a separate Monsoon shower. Double bedroom two shares the principal landing and is currently used as a dressing room. From the secondary landing, double bedroom three adjoins a family shower room, whilst double bedroom four has an en-suite bathroom. Outside The gardens adjoin the house to the south with sheltered seating terraces from which to track the sun and enjoy the views towards Ketton Church. Largely lawned, the lower and upper gardens have well-stocked flower and lavender beds and a kitchen garden, whilst the lawns link around the annexe to the driveway. The gardens adjoin the post and rail fenced land, to which a kissing gate and six-bar gateway permit access. The land slopes gently down to the southern boundary with the River Chater, upon which there are riparian rights. There are fine views and vistas from the land and as a whole, the property has a lovely lifestyle feel. Annexe A detached stone built Studio Annexe lies across the driveway from the house with an open plan work room, in which plumbing is in place for a kitchen suite, a shower room adjoins.
