Digby Drive, North Luffenham, Oakham, Rutland

“... Flexible Space For Modern Living ...” A substantial detached home in the heart of North Luffenham, with far-reaching countryside views to the front and plenty of space for family life. From the light-filled conservatory opening onto the garden to the generous kitchen/breakfast room, two further reception spaces and versatile loft room, the house has been designed around both everyday living and time spent together. Outside, a landscaped two-level garden, summer house and generous parking complete the picture.

Ground Floor - A sense of space is apparent from the moment you step into the central entrance hall, with the principal living spaces arranged around it and the staircase rising to the first floor.

At the heart of the house, the kitchen/breakfast room provides a sociable hub for everyday life. A central island creates a natural gathering point, while the range cooker sits within a mantel-style surround and the window above the sink looks directly onto the garden. A door leads through to the conservatory, creating an easy connection between the kitchen, garden and adjoining living spaces.

The conservatory is undoubtedly one of the defining rooms of the house. Generously proportioned and wrapping around the side of the lounge, it features a glazed roof, tiled floor and French doors opening onto the patio. Filled with natural light, it is a wonderfully versatile space that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons, whether for relaxed breakfasts, summer entertaining or simply sitting back and enjoying views of the garden.

The remaining ground floor accommodation includes sitting room, offering flexibility for formal dining, family living or a more relaxed snug. A rear lobby from the kitchen provides access to the utility room, study and downstairs WC, together with access to the double integral garage.

First Floor - The principal suite makes the most of the property's elevated position, with French doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking the front garden and enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. The bedroom leads through to a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, creating a natural transition between the bedroom and the rest of the principal suite.

The principal suite is completed by a generous shower room, fitted with twin vanity basins, a large shower and heated towel rail. Accessed from the landing rather than directly from the bedroom, its position alongside the principal bedroom and dressing room allows the spaces to work naturally together as a principal suite, while also making the shower room conveniently accessible to the rest of the household. A separate WC is also accessed from the landing, positioned close to the principal suite.

The principal suite is linked to the rest of the first-floor accommodation by a generous landing, which provides a surprisingly useful additional space with room for a desk, reading chair or quiet study area. It creates a peaceful spot away from the main living spaces, ideal for working from home or simply settling down with a book.
The remaining bedrooms are arranged around the main landing, with two double bedrooms to the front, both benefiting from built-in storage and a further bedroom overlooking the rear garden. The family bathroom is fitted with a corner bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and WC.

A separate staircase from the principal suite landing leads to the versatile loft room above. With its own sense of separation from the main bedroom accommodation, this useful additional space could serve as a fifth bedroom, playroom, hobby room, home office or teenage retreat, depending on the needs of the household.

Outside - The front of the property is approached via a block-paved driveway with parking for three vehicles and access to the double integral garage, while the garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs.

The rear garden features a block-paved patio accessed from the conservatory, with two curved sets of stone steps leading to the upper garden. Here, the summer house/home office provides a versatile retreat, with French doors creating a light and appealing space.
