4 bedroom semi-detached bungalow

Nestled on the edge of the tranquil Rutland village of South Luffenham, The Periwinkle on Back Lane is a spacious bungalow enrobed in a mature, south-east facing garden. One of just six homes on a private driveway, here is a unique opportunity to create a beautiful home in a private and peaceful location.

Light and Bright Living

Built in 1991, The Periwinkle has so much potential; with generous rooms and a double garage which is ripe for redesign, the possibilities are endless. Stepping into the porch, follow the entrance hallway and make your way into the kitchen. With its dual aspect, this room is flooded with natural light from sunrise to sunset. Easy access to the block paved patio and garden beyond is gained through a fully glazed door. With a conveniently positioned utility room and pantry cupboard, great potential arises to open up these rooms to each other and the garden to create the kitchen of your dreams.

Easy Flow

Returning to the entrance hallway, catch your breath at the size of the dining and sitting rooms, currently divided by glazed doors into two distinct spaces. Original parquet flooring flows across both rooms, making for a seamless transition between the two. With windows to three sides and French doors leading to the garden from the sitting room, the room is filled with light. A gas fire provides a cosy focal point in the evenings as the light begins to fade.

Soak and Sleep

The Periwinkle has four bedrooms which can be found by returning to the inner hallway. The first bedroom, nestled in the centre of the home, could also serve as a home office or snug. A family bathroom serves this and the next bedroom, a good-sized double with window overlooking the garden. A guest bedroom sits at the front of the home, served by its own recently fitted en suite. Finally, discover the principal suite – a magnificently sized room with its own en suite wet room and the potential to be a truly tranquil haven from daily life. Waking up here, open the French doors onto a private corner of the garden with its own terrace, and bask in birdsong.

Garden Glory

With mature trees and deep, cottage garden borders, the wraparound garden of The Periwinkle is a treasure. Block paving hugs the home, providing opportunities for al fresco dining, reclining chairs and play. The south-east aspect gives the chance of sunshine all day. Punctuated with colourful beds and hemmed with hedges and stone walls for seclusion, the garden is an oasis of calm – the perfect place to entertain with summer barbeques or relax with a drink in hand once the day is done.

What the Owners Love

“The lovely village location offers privacy and security. The glorious gardens can be accessed from many parts of the home.”
