3 bed cottage for sale

Stamford End, Exton LE15

Just a mile from Rutland Water, this beautiful stone cottage dating back to the 1860s offers three double bedrooms and occupies an exceptional plot with stunning views across Exton Park and Estate to the rear.

The property has been carefully updated in recent years while retaining its exposed beams, original fireplaces and feature stonework. Improvements include a high quality fitted kitchen, full redecoration, new timber double glazed casement windows and doors, and an air source heat pump central heating system.

A timber home office/garden room with power sits at the top of the garden, taking in the best views and also looking back towards the cottage.

Believed to have been constructed by stonemasons involved in rebuilding Exton Hall following the nineteenth century fire, the cottage carries genuine provenance.

Tucked away at the lower end of a quiet no through road, the setting is particularly peaceful. To the front is a generous orchard area with apple and plum trees. A gravel driveway to the side provides ample parking for two cars, together with a connection point for an electric car charger.

The rear garden enjoys the sun throughout the day and rises through lawn and planted areas to the top of the plot, where it backs directly onto Exton Park Estate land and the home office is positioned to make the most of the views.

Location

Exton is one of Rutland’s most sought after villages, offering a village pub which is due to reopen following renovation, a primary school, a bus service and a real community feel.
