Brooke Road, Braunston, Rutland

Manor Farm is a four-bedroom detached village home offering an abundance of space and natural light and sitting on a generous plot with a private driveway, outbuildings, a paddock and far-reaching countryside views.

Ground Floor - The ground floor in brief comprises a breakfast kitchen, three reception rooms, a study, utility room and a downstairs cloakroom. The dual-aspect breakfast kitchen spans the depth of the property with a bay window looking out to the garden and a useful pantry. The kitchen itself has a good range of fitted units with space for free-standing appliances, a breakfast bar and an oil-fired AGA. Beyond the breakfast kitchen is a large utility room providing further storage, space for white goods and a door into a rear hallway that provides access to the property’s driveway.

The main reception room sits off the main entrance hall, a well-proportioned and south-facing room, filled with natural light and featuring an open fire, a bay window taking advantage of the views and a French door opening out to a patio and walled garden.

The two further reception rooms sit adjacent to the kitchen, a good-sized dining room and a snug with a log burning stove. Both rooms have large windows overlooking the garden. The property also features a study with stairs leading down to a useful cellar, ideal for storage.

First Floor - To the first floor there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom is generously sized and complete with a dressing room and ensuite bathroom plus the added bonus of beautiful south-facing views over the garden and countryside beyond. The further three bedrooms all offer built-in storage and are served by a family bathroom. The family bathroom comprises a shower bath, wash hand basin, low flush lavatory and heated towel rail.

Outside - Manor Farm sits on a wonderful and incredibly private plot with mature grounds and glorious views of the Rutland countryside. The property is accessed via a sweeping, tree-lined driveway passing the paddock on the right and leading to a tarmac parking area providing ample off-road parking and access to a double carport and outbuildings. The outbuildings offer a brilliant amount of space for storage and a functioning squash court!

The garden space is split into several areas, a more formal lawn, a walled garden and a working vegetable patch. The formal garden sits beyond the driveway, predominantly laid to lawn with mature soft planting and bounded by post and railing fencing. The walled garden sits directly off the main living room, a secluded suntrap with mature borders, a swimming pool, a large green house and patio area.

Location - The idyllic village of Braunston is just two miles from the pretty market town of Oakham, the capital of Rutland (the country’s smallest county), voted one of the best places to live in England by the Sunday Times. Oakham and the surrounding area benefits from great transport links (Inc. A direct rail link to Kings Cross/St Pancras), excellent public and private schools and stunning countryside including Rutland water with its extensive range of outdoor pursuits.

Services & Council Tax - The property is offered to the market with all mains services and oil-fired central heating.
