Set in the heart of Ketton, this beautiful Georgian stone cottage was built in approximately 1762, giving it a wonderful sense of history and charm. Inside, it’s warm and welcoming, with original beams, fireplaces, and cosy yet spacious rooms.
The kitchen extension is a real highlight – it’s open-plan with plenty of space for dining and relaxing. There’s a log burner to keep things cosy and patio doors that open onto the garden, making it perfect for entertaining. The dining room/snug, complete with an inglenook fireplace and log burner, is ideal for quiet evenings, while the separate living room, with its open fire and beams, feels full of character yet practical for family life.
Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms with wooden floors and a family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath that perfectly suits the home’s period feel.
Outside, the rear garden is a peaceful retreat. It’s enclosed and private, with a patio and lawn surrounded by mature planting – just right for summer barbecues or relaxing with a book. There’s also a rear gate that leads to off-road parking for one or two vehicles, which is a real bonus.
Ketton itself is a wonderful village. There’s a friendly shop with a post office, a library, a welcoming pub, and even a vineyard where you can enjoy wine tastings or a coffee at the café. If you enjoy the outdoors, there are lovely walking trails nearby. For families, the local primary school is well-regarded, and there are bus routes to secondary schools in the area. Stamford and Oakham are just minutes away, offering more amenities and excellent transport links.
Ivy Cottage is a rare find – a characterful home in a beautiful village that’s ready to move into but still has scope to put your own stamp on it. If you’ve been dreaming of a charming cottage in the heart of Rutland, this could be the one for you!
