There is a wide range of schooling within easy reach of the village including independent schools in Uppingham, Oakham, Stamford and Oundle with a healthy mix of both state and private schooling options available.
DESCRIPTION
Upon entering this exceptional family home, you are greeted by an inviting open-plan entrance hallway, filled with natural light and exuding a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The limestone flooring extends throughout, complemented by underfloor heating that creates a sense of comfort and style.
To the left of the entrance, an old stone doorway, brimming with character, leads into a spacious utility room. This thoughtfully designed space combines practicality and style, featuring exposed wooden beams, sleek marble countertops, and built-in cabinetry offering ample storage. The limestone flooring continues, enhancing the seamless flow of the home. There is plumbing for a washing machine and dryer with a deep sink, perfect for all household needs.
Off the utility room is a convenient downstairs WC, tucked beneath the stairs along with a handy storage cupboard. From here, a staircase leads to a large double bedroom, a tranquil retreat with a vaulted ceiling and built-in wardrobes. With views over the driveway and a stylish en-suite shower room, this bedroom combines rustic charm with modern luxury.
Steps from the utility room lead down into the expansive living room, a space designed for relaxation and comfort. A striking wood burner, set within a beautiful stone surround, provides a cozy focal point, while the limestone flooring continues to create a cohesive aesthetic. The room benefits from built-in storage and a TV unit, ensuring it remains both practical and clutter-free. Large windows overlook the front driveway, and a back door offers easy access to the outdoor space.
Adjoining the living room is a charming office space, perfect for working from home. This room boasts another wood burner set within a stone surround, ensuring a warm, welcoming feel. Large windows offer picturesque views over the village, adding to the serenity of the space.
Next to the office is the formal lounge, a grand and elegant room filled with light from its dual-aspect windows, which frame views of both the village and the driveway. The exposed beam overhead adds a rustic touch, while the large wood burner with its marble surround and stone hearth serves as a focal point, creating a cozy atmosphere in the cooler months.
A staircase off the living room rises to a charming first-floor landing, where exposed beams lend warmth and character. Here, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom. The first bedroom boasts a partially vaulted ceiling with exposed stone walls and a large window offering views over the village street. The second bedroom is generously sized, with built-in wardrobes and a cozy window seat overlooking the driveway. This bedroom also enjoys a private en-suite shower room with sleek, modern fixtures. The third bedroom is a lovely, double room with charming beams and village views. The family bathroom is a true highlight, featuring stylish tiling, exposed timber work, a large shower, a freestanding bath, and dual sinks, all set against dual-aspect windows that flood the room with natural light.
At the heart of the home lies the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area—a bright, airy space designed for family life and entertaining. The kitchen itself is a masterpiece, with marble countertops, a large central island that doubles as a breakfast bar, and top-of-the-line integrated appliances including a double oven, microwave, and induction hob. Skylights overhead stream natural light into the space, enhancing its airy, welcoming feel, while large windows and French doors offer views of the garden and easy access to the dining terrace. An exposed stone feature wall adds a touch of rustic charm to this contemporary space, and a walk-in pantry area provides additional storage.
Off the open plan kitchen – dining – living room, is the luxurious principal suite, a private sanctuary that exudes tranquillity. High ceilings and large windows create an open, light-filled atmosphere, while a walk-in wardrobe provides ample storage. The en-suite bathroom is beautifully appointed, featuring a freestanding bath, a wet-room style shower, and a vanity unit. Adjoining the master bedroom is a peaceful office space with large windows, high ceilings, and a cozy wood burner, perfect for quiet work or relaxation. A separate door from the en-suite provides convenient access to the driveway.
The property features a full fibre 1GB internet connection and is fully equipped with CAT5 cabling, providing reliable internet access in every room, including The Doghouse.
OUTSIDE
The outdoor spaces of this property are equally impressive. The south-facing lawn enjoys sunlight throughout the day, while the dining terrace, accessed via French doors from the kitchen, is perfect for al fresco meals.
A converted outbuilding, currently called, ‘The Doghouse’, serves as a fantastic entertaining space or guest annex. This unique area features a mezzanine-level bedroom, a fitted bar with a dishwasher, ice maker, and drinks fridge, and a large log burner nestled beneath exposed timber beams. Bi-folding doors open onto a separate dining terrace, complete with a wooden pergola and a pizza oven, creating the ultimate outdoor entertaining area. The terrace also includes a marble countertop for pizza preparation, along with outdoor heaters, electrics, and a tap for added convenience.
Additional outdoor features include a separate bike shed with plumbing and electrics, ideal for storage or as a utility space, and an outdoor WC with a boiler. At the rear of the garden, two sheds provide further storage, along with a composting area. The beautifully landscaped grounds are planted with fruit trees, including apple, walnut, and damsel trees, adding to the idyllic country feel of the property. A garden gate provides access to nearby footpaths that lead to scenic quarry and woodland areas, perfect for leisurely walks in the surrounding countryside.
The front elevation of the property features a well-maintained gravel driveway, complete with a fitted wooden bike rack. Ample parking is available, and the overall presentation of the home from the outside reflects the careful attention to detail seen throughout.
This exceptional property blends traditional character with contemporary luxury, offering a perfect retreat in the heart of the picturesque Ketton village.
