Melton Road, Langham, Rutland

A charming village house with garage, ample parking and mature garden set in the heart of this desirable village and offering extensive character accommodation.

The Old Bakehouse has been constructed over various periods with the original stone elevation of the property facing towards Church Street, whilst the 1970s extension is to the existing front elevation as the house is used today. The house was originally a single story building, but in the 1800s the thatched roof was removed, the walls built up and the second storey added.

Internally, the property retains to this day much of its period charm and features a large inglenook fireplace with log burner in the sitting room and exposed timbers around the house.

The accommodation has been very well maintained but would benefit from routine updating. The interior has gas fired central heating and double glazing throughout and can be summarised as follows:

GROUND FLOOR: Entrance Hall, Utility Room, Kitchen/Diner, Inner Hall, Sitting Room, Rear Hall, Family Room/Snug, Inner Hall, Cloakroom/WC, Dining Room; FIRST FLOOR: large Master Bedroom with en-suite Bathroom, four further good-size double Bedrooms, one of them with en-suite Shower Room, separate Shower Room.

OUTSIDE: The property is approached either from Church Street via a pedestrian gate or from Melton Road via double electric gates giving access to a large south facing parking and turning area, as well as integral Garage with additional storage space for bicycles and garden equipment.

The fully enclosed rear garden has been laid out to provide a flagstone terrace perfect for summer dining and an adjacent lawn with herbaceous borders.

Tenure: Freehold.
Council Tax Band: G (Rutland).
