An incredible family home with a fascinating history, believed to date back to the 17th century, this substantial stone-built residence is brimming with quirky features, rich heritage, and unique charm. Situated in the heart of the sought-after Rutland village of Stretton, the property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home with scope for light modernisation, in a location ideal for commuting families thanks to its immediate access to the A1. The property is entered via a traditional porch that opens into a welcoming entrance hall, offering direct access to the principal living spaces. To the right lies a spacious dining room, filled with natural light from dual aspects and complete with period character, making it a warm and inviting family hub. From here, steps lead through to the generous living room, positioned at the front of the home, a perfect layout for entertaining or family gatherings. The kitchen/breakfast room, located adjacent to the dining room, is well-proportioned and practical, with potential for updating to create a modern family kitchen that takes full advantage of the property’s generous footprint. From the kitchen, there is access through to a useful storage facility, before leading into the attached double garage, which also incorporates a WC. This area provides exciting scope for conversion into additional living accommodation, should a buyer wish to expand. A separate office is positioned off the dining room, providing flexibility for home working, a snug, or a children’s playroom — a feature that reflects the versatile nature of this historic home. Via the staircase, the first floor leads to a bright hallway. Here, three well-sized double bedrooms are found, each with their own distinct outlook across the front and rear garden, as well as surrounding countryside. The master bedroom, in particular, enjoys a wonderful sense of proportion and character. A family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation. Outside, the property enjoys both front and rear gardens. The front garden enhances the traditional kerb appeal of the handsome stone exterior, while the rear garden is fully enclosed and well-maintained, offering a private space for relaxation and light entertaining. The double garage and driveway provide excellent off-street parking for multiple vehicles, with further potential for conversion or extension subject to planning. This is a truly rare opportunity to acquire a heritage home with incredible character, adaptable living space, and an enviable village setting. EPC rating: E. Tenure: Freehold,
