A large family dormer bungalow built of brick in the 1960’s with cavity wall insulation and damp proof membrane. The property was originally a bungalow and was extended to two floors by the previous owner including a dormer window front and rear. The latest development by the present owner included insulating and re-tiling the roof and adding an additional bedroom on the first floor with en suite facilities. Re-cladding the dormer windows has also been done together with fitting new bargeboards and guttering.
The accommodation comprises on the ground floor, two double bedrooms, lounge, dining room, breakfast kitchen and bathroom all leading off a central hallway. The upper floor has three further double bedrooms one with en suite, a study / nursery and a separate toilet.
The garage / workshop was built three years ago to living accommodation standards for future change of use to a separate dormer bungalow, subject to usual planning approval. The windows in the bungalow and garage are double glazed UVPC with Velux windows in the roof. The bungalow has full gas fired central heating.
The property stands approximately central to the plot of about ¼ acre and has access all round with great potential for further expansion on all sides. Entrance to the site is via decorative brick splays and illuminated stone capped pillars with block paving between. The property is conveniently situated on the outskirts of town but is still accessible on foot to the town centre in about 15 minutes.
Oakham is the county town of Rutland and is highly sort after being in the top places to live in the country according to recent national newspaper reports. The rural locality of the area gives a wealth of outdoor activities including walking and cycling with tracks around Rutland Water only a mile or so away. Rutland Water being the largest man made reservoir in Europe has its own facilities for sailing and trout fishing with many places of interest on its shores, course fishing is also very popular in the area.
The area is very popular for education with the Oakham Public School in the town and only eight miles away is Uppingham Public School both of which are renown for their academic achievements. Other infant, junior and secondary schools in the immediate area are well respected not to mention the two local collages.
Although very much a rural market town, Oakham is not cut off from the remainder of the country with a local railway station in the town for access to Melton Mowbray, Grantham, Stamford, Peterborough etc., the A1 trunk road is nearby for car users and London commuting from Peterborough or Kettering is now well within acceptable limits of 1 ½ hr from town.
