Mill Lane, Ketton, PE9

What the owner told us…

“We’ve celebrated life here. It’s been the backdrop to our wedding, countless gatherings and everyday joy. This cottage holds our memories, and now it’s ready for someone new to fall in love with it.”

Our thoughts…

There’s a timeless elegance to Glebe Cottage that’s hard to put into words. Set within the historic heart of Ketton, this Grade II listed home quietly blends heritage and modern luxury in a way that feels both sophisticated and deeply welcoming.

Originally built in 1757, the cottage has had many lives, having served as a village pub, bakehouse, and family home. A sympathetic extension in the 1990s earned the prestigious George Phillips Award for architectural design, and the standard has remained high ever since. Today, the home has been beautifully upgraded and reimagined, with exquisite attention to detail and a strong sense of purpose behind every room.

Decorated in a palette of Farrow & Ball and Little Greene, the interiors are calm, refined and full of charm. There’s a sense of quality throughout, with bespoke cabinetry, joinery and fittings that elevate every corner.

The heart of the home is the vaulted living room. It’s a striking, light-filled space with exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and a glazed door that opens directly onto the south-facing garden. At one end, glass double doors lead to the dining room; a perfect space for entertaining, complete with its own fireplace and built-in drinks cabinet.

At the other end, the sunroom sits separately off the living room and is bathed in natural light. With full-height corner glazing and whitewashed exposed brickwork, it’s a serene space that brings the outdoors in, no matter the weather.

In the kitchen, you’ll find a classic Aga alongside painted cabinetry, a breakfast bar and a pantry. It’s stylish, functional and full of warmth. For the summer months, a separate prep and utility room offers a clever alternative. Once a bakehouse, it now functions as a summer kitchen, complete with its own oven and hob, giving you the flexibility to keep the main kitchen cool when the Aga’s off. It also provides excellent indoor-outdoor flow, with a door leading directly to the garden.

A ground floor bathroom with shower and WC adds further practicality.

Upstairs, there are three beautiful bedrooms, a recently renovated bathroom, and a generous attic room with exposed beams and skylights, ideal for use as a fourth bedroom, home office or creative studio. There’s also an easily accessed attic storage room, providing plenty of hidden space for the things you don’t need every day.

Outside, the garden is a private sanctuary. Set across split levels and landscaped with care, it includes a lawn, patio, vegetable plot, pleached trees and a solid timber greenhouse. It’s tranquil and secure, a space made for enjoying. Beyond the garden, electric gates open onto a private driveway and double garage. The garage is currently configured as three rooms but could easily be reconfigured to suit your needs, with electric roller doors still in place.

Glebe Cottage is discreet from the road but full of surprises once you step inside. It’s a home with history, but also a home designed for modern life; elegant, practical and deeply loved.

And Ketton itself is a village that balances community and convenience. With a shop and post office, pub, primary school, gym, parks and library all within easy reach; and Stamford, Oakham and Rutland Water just a short drive away, it’s no wonder people rarely leave once they arrive.

This cottage is something truly special. If you’re looking for a home that brings together character, comfort and considered design, Glebe Cottage is ready to welcome you.
