A Grade II listed stone home dating back to 1645, set within approximately one acre of gardens and grounds with open Rutland countryside beyond.
GROUND FLOOR
Set behind a private gated driveway on Main Street in the sought-after village of Clipsham, Home Farm is a substantial Grade II listed stone property dating back to 1645. Steeped in character, it combines original features, generous living spaces and far-reaching countryside views with the flexibility of modern family living.
The current main entrance is positioned towards the rear of the property, opening into a hallway with the snug and downstairs shower room either side. From here, the house leads through to the large Shaker-style kitchen with a central breakfast island and an Aga sitting along the right-hand wall, creating a practical and welcoming entrance into the heart of the home.
From the kitchen, the house opens into the main hallway, where the staircase rises to the first floor and doors lead through to the principal reception rooms. The formal dining room has built-in shelving and cupboards, providing useful additional storage, while the full-depth living room sits beyond, with windows at both ends flooding the space with natural light. A large stone open fireplace provides a striking focal point.
A generous utility and boot room provides the practical space every country home needs, ideal for muddy boots, soggy dogs and warming up with a cup of tea after exploring the Rutland countryside.
There are also five additional storage rooms with external access that provide considerable flexibility household, garden and seasonal storage.
FIRST FLOOR
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a generous and private retreat, with a stone mullion window looking across the gardens and a sense of calm that comes with being at the top of the house. A dedicated walk-in wardrobe provides excellent storage, while the en-suite shower room adds privacy and convenience.
The second bedroom is a well-proportioned double, with built-in wardrobes and views across the garden. The third is a further generous double bedroom, again benefiting from the character of the period architecture and views towards the mature grounds. The fourth bedroom is the smallest of the four and is currently arranged as a home office, although it could equally work as a single bedroom or occasional guest room.
A family bathroom completes the first floor.
OUTSIDE
Outside, a private gated, sweeping driveway provides parking for up to six vehicles and leads to a garage and carport. External stairs from the carport lead to a large room above, offering a versatile space that could work as a games room, workshop or teenage retreat. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, it may also offer potential for conversion to additional accommodation.
The gardens extend to approximately one acre. Directly behind the house is a more formal garden, with a patio, generous lawn, mature trees and established shrubs. Beyond this, the garden has been rewilded, with paths winding through the grounds, mature trees, natural planting and a pond. A decked seating area overlooks the pond, creating a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the garden and surrounding countryside. The setting is peaceful and private, with open countryside views adding to the sense of space.
With its combination of 17th-century origins, generous accommodation, extensive grounds and rural outlook, Home Farm offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial period home in the heart of the Rutland countryside.
