Stamford Road, Oakham

The house is perhaps relatively unusual in the locality. There are six bedrooms and two bath/ shower rooms to the first floor topped off with a large storage loft. To the ground floor there are three reception rooms, two cloakrooms, a utility /boot room, and a kitchen dining room of almost 37 feet (11.23m) in length. The flow is good, the windows large and all rooms look or open out into this home’s expansive verdant setting.

The grounds too are rather special. To the front a spacious gravelled driveway with ample parking for multiple vehicles passes beneath tall pine, larch, cedar, cypress, holly and yew, which with other plantings provide privacy and grace to this location. Gates and hedging each side of the house enclose the rear south facing patios and gardens enjoying their own and neighbouring grand former parkland trees with pretty garden side gate and farm style vehicular gates beneath.

The grounds’ rich foliage and the fact that to three sides lie Stamford Road, Catmose Park Road (a no through private road) and Rutland Farm Park means overall this property benefits from a particular sense of tranquillity, space and privacy

This large house and gardens afford space with permissions where relevant for personalisation by reinstatement of multigenerational living arrangements, by the addition of external facilities for cars, office, fitness and such like, with additional boundary planting, or by opening and enlarging the rear southward views.  The property is also a short walk to town, the train station, schools and Rutland water with multiple sports clubs and leisure facilities for all ages in the area. It is practical and convenient for all ages.

There may be future potential for a plot to the rear, subject to the necessary planning permission, as the land benefits from access off Catmose Park Road and has been previously used for parking.

Oakham is a thriving and sought-after market town, offering a wide range of amenities including boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, and four major name supermarkets. The area is well regarded for its excellent schooling and has convenient road connections such as the nearby A1, A47 and M1. The town’s railway station provides travel to Leicester and Birmingham (west) and Peterborough, Cambridge and Stansted (east) making access really convenient to UK train routes north and south, and to many towns, universities and major airports.
