Description:


An attractive Grade II listed stone and Collyweston house, dating back to 1848, set in the heart of this highly sought-after Conservation Village. Beautifully renovated and reconfigured by the current owner, the home combines period character with a stylish modern finish. The versatile layout flows effortlessly, offering both intimate family living and exceptional spaces for entertaining.

A gated driveway provides off-road parking, while to the rear a private, south-facing walled courtyard garden offers a tranquil retreat. A detached orangery annex adds further flexibility, ideal as a home office, studio or self-contained guest suite.

The house opens through a centrally positioned panelled door beneath a decorative fanlight into a wide stone-flagged hallway. To one side lies a dual-aspect sitting room with stone fire breast, raised hooded grate and distinctive arched gable window, while the other reception room has an exposed stone wall, a wood-burning stove and access to a cloakroom and staircase. Both spaces are dressed with plantation shutters, creating a calm and elegant feel.

To the rear of the house, three interconnecting rooms form the heart of the home. A snug with exposed stone walls, whitewashed beams and a double-sided wood burner links to a light-filled dining orangery with French doors opening to the garden, as well as a contemporary kitchen fitted with wooden worktops, Belfast sink, integrated appliances and a Stoves range cooker. A utility room provides additional storage and garden access, while below stairs, the basement has been converted into a gym.

On the first floor, the landing leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each finished to a high standard. They are served by a stylish family bathroom, complete with a claw-foot rolltop bath and separate shower.

Outside:


Outside, double gates open onto a private driveway to the side of the house, leading through to a south-facing walled garden. Low-maintenance in design, with gravelled terraces and mature planting, this is a wonderfully private outdoor space, accessible directly from both the orangery and the utility. Within the garden stands the single-storey annex, a beautifully appointed building with French doors, atrium glazing and its own shower room, perfect for use as a fourth bedroom, home office or studio.

This exceptional Ketton home is the perfect blend of heritage and modern living, offering charm, comfort and versatility in one of Rutland’s most sought-after villages.
