The Wheel House has 18th Century origins. It was then extended in the 19th Century when it was run as a pub known as The Wheel Inn. It is Listed Grade II. The property makes a characterful home with attractive and versatile accommodation, set over two floors. Many original timbers and other features are on display adding to the wonderful atmosphere within.

The front door opens to the hallway, which in turn provides access to each of the ground floor rooms. The dining room, currently used as a snug, has exposed floorboards and window to the south with a window seat beneath. The wood burning stove makes a cosy focal point. Across the hall is the kitchen /breakfast room which offers ample space for family mealtimes. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with hardwood worksurfaces and inset ceramic sink. The oil-fired Aga is set into the inglenook. The quarry tiled floor, beams to the ceiling and the window seat, each add character to this hub of the home. A porch provides access to the garden. The main living room offers great proportions with plenty of light, with windows overlooking the garden. From the hall, steps lead down to the cellar which offers great storage.

The first floor is reached via stairs from the hallway. The character continues on this level, with original, exposed joinery. There are three comfortable bedrooms, two to the front and a third overlooking the rear garden. The walk-through study or playroom serves as a fourth bedroom occasionally, and is sufficiently large to split to create a separate room. The bathroom offering WC, wash basin and bath with shower above, completes the accommodation. The Wheel House is one of the few properties on West Street with parking and a garage. The garage is a modern construction with cavity walls, a water supply and a WC set to one corner – enabling easy conversion to ancillary accommodation. Windows and a door open to the garden. The drive, in front of it, provides parking. High gates ensure great privacy from the roadside. The garden is a wonderfully secure and secluded haven surrounded by high stone walls. The lawn runs away from the house and has raised flower and shrub beds to two sides. In the corner is a raised terrace, set to capture the sunshine throughout the day.

King’s Cliffe is a very popular village with an ancient heart to it. West Street has many fine, traditional homes built on either side. The village offers a useful shop and a public house, as well as a primary school and a great sports / activity facility. Footpaths and bridleways provide access to the gently rolling countryside that surrounds the village. The historic market towns of Oundle and Stamford are within easy reach, both providing good leisure and shopping facilities, as well as restaurants and schooling. Peterborough is about 12 miles away and offers extensive facilities, as well as main line rail travel to London King’s Cross, with journey times from 48 minutes.
