5 bed property for sale

The Street, South Luffenham, Oakham LE15

Summary
Occupying a prime position in the heart of the highly regarded Rutland village of South Luffenham, Boot House is a striking and beautifully refurbished five-bedroom home, created as part of the thoughtful redevelopment of the former public house on The Street.

Description
Offering over 2,000sq ft of accommodation, this is a home that successfully combines the character and individuality of its heritage with a sophisticated, contemporary finish. Exposed brickwork, original-style beams, vaulted ceilings and considered architectural details sit comfortably alongside a modern kitchen, stylish bathrooms and generous, versatile living spaces.

South Luffenham is an attractive Rutland village, positioned between Uppingham and Stamford. The village retains a strong sense of community, with a village hall, parish church, green spaces and local amenities, whilst the surrounding countryside provides an abundance of opportunities for walking and outdoor pursuits. Stamford is approximately six miles away, offering an exceptional range of independent shops, boutiques, cafés, restaurants, bars, cultural attractions and highly regarded schooling. Uppingham is also close by, whilst Rutland Water is readily accessible for sailing, cycling, walking and enjoying the beautiful countryside.

The approach

One of the particularly appealing features of Boot House is its flexibility of access. The property can be approached from multiple points, making it exceptionally practical for modern family life.

To the rear, a private parking area provides space for at least two cars, with access directly into the rear garden and a useful rear entrance into the house. This is particularly convenient for everyday arrivals, unloading shopping or bringing children and belongings in from the parking area.

From here, you enter the wonderfully characterful snug, a warm and inviting room which immediately sets the tone for the property. Currently arranged as an informal eating area, this is a wonderfully versatile space that could equally become a playroom, home office, children's snug or generous entrance hall, depending upon the needs of the next owner.

The snug provides two separate routes through the ground floor. One leads conveniently towards the WC and utility area, whilst the other opens into the main sitting room.

Sitting room

The sitting room is a lovely family space, centred around a log burner which creates a natural focal point and brings warmth and atmosphere to the room. There is ample space for comfortable sofas and family furniture, making this a particularly inviting room for relaxing and entertaining.

A further entrance from the sitting room provides access towards the side of the property and another private garden area, giving the house a wonderfully practical flow between its indoor and outdoor spaces.

Kitchen & entertaining space

From the sitting room, the accommodation continues into an impressive modern kitchen, finished to a high standard and designed with both family life and entertaining in mind.

At its heart is a generous central island, providing an excellent gathering point for everyday breakfasts, homework, informal dining or entertaining guests. The kitchen has been designed to offer a superb combination of style, practicality and sociability.

From the kitchen, striking black Crittall-style doors lead through to a further versatile reception room. Currently used as a playroom, this would work equally well as a formal dining room, games room, home office or second reception space. The glazed doors create a lovely visual connection between the two areas whilst retaining a sense of separation when required.

The ground floor therefore provides an unusually flexible arrangement of reception spaces, allowing the house to adapt easily to different stages of family life.

First floor

Upstairs, Boot House offers five generous bedrooms, providing exceptional flexibility for a growing family, visiting guests or those requiring dedicated home-working space.

Each bedroom is generously proportioned and comfortably accommodates a double bed, whilst the variety of spaces allows the accommodation to be configured to suit individual requirements.

The standout is undoubtedly the principal bedroom suite. A generous dressing area leads through to the main bedroom, creating a wonderful sense of separation and privacy and providing considerably more than the typical principal bedroom arrangement.

The remaining bedrooms are equally versatile, with ample room for family, guests, children or home-working requirements.

Character meets contemporary design

Throughout Boot House, there is a wonderful balance between character and contemporary living. Exposed brickwork, beams and vaulted ceilings provide texture, warmth and individuality, whilst the newly refurbished interiors offer a crisp, high-quality finish.

The result is a home that feels both distinctive and thoroughly practical - retaining the charm one would hope for from a property in a historic Rutland village, whilst providing the specification, proportions and flexibility demanded by modern family life.

Outside & parking

The property benefits from private outdoor space to the rear, creating several different areas to enjoy throughout the day. The rear garden is directly accessible from the private parking area, with parking for several vehicles, while the additional garden access from the side of the house further enhances the practicality of the layout.

In summary

Boot House is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, newly refurbished five-bedroom character home in one of Rutland's most desirable village settings.

Above all, it is the character that sets Boot House apart. From the exposed brick and beams to the vaulted ceilings, log burner and carefully considered modern finishes, there is a genuine sense of individuality throughout.

Set within the heart of South Luffenham, yet only around six miles from Stamford and within easy reach of Uppingham and Rutland Water, the property offers the best of village living without sacrificing access to exceptional shopping, dining, schooling, leisure and transport connections.

A beautifully finished, characterful and highly versatile family home - and one that really deserves to be viewed in person to appreciate the quality, scale and atmosphere it offers.
