Toons Yard, High Street East, Uppingham

A charming two-bedroom stone-built cottage, discreetly positioned in a tucked-away town centre setting within the exclusive secure key entry gated courtyard development of Toons Yard, in the heart of the highly sought-after market town of Uppingham. The renovation of the five properties within Toons Yard was completed approximately 15 years ago, with Crown Cottage uniquely created within this characterful collection.
Blending traditional charm with modern comfort, this freehold home offers a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout, while retaining an abundance of character features, including exposed beams, attractive original tiled flooring in the kitchen and hall, and a Victorian cast-iron fireplace in Bedroom One.
Crown Cottage has recently undergone a further programme of refurbishment and improvement, including the complete renovation of the Victorian sash windows with the addition of sealed double-glazed units, bringing them in line with modern energy-efficiency standards. A new front door has also been installed to further enhance insulation and efficiency, while a new Worcester Bosch combination boiler was fitted approximately eight months ago. Together with a number of additional recent improvements, these works have created a warm, cosy, and energy-efficient home, reflected in the property’s improved EPC rating of C. The property has also been redecorated internally and externally in 2026.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming living room, a spacious kitchen/dining room ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, two generously proportioned bedrooms, and a well-appointed shower room. The cottage also benefits from excellent storage, including fitted wardrobe and overhead storage in Bedroom One, two large storage cupboards in Bedroom Two, and an accessible loft space.
Residents also enjoy access to a delightful communal garden, providing a peaceful shared outdoor space.
Uppingham is a thriving and affluent market town, celebrated for its historic charm, independent boutiques, traditional pubs, and excellent restaurants, all within easy walking distance of the property. Permit on-road parking on the High street is available via Rutland County Council.
