“... A village home ready for revival ...”
A Grade II listed, double-fronted ironstone house on Lyddington’s Main Street, requiring complete renovation throughout. Offering three bedrooms, two bay-windowed reception rooms, a south-east-facing garden and a substantial stone workshop to the rear, this is a rare opportunity to restore a characterful village home. Offered to cash buyers only.
A small entrance hall opens into the sitting room, where a bay window looks out over Main Street.
To the left, the living room retains a ceiling beam and original stone fireplace, with a second bay window overlooking the street.
The kitchen completes the ground floor, with a window looking out across the garden and a door leading through to the conservatory. Glazed on two sides, the conservatory opens directly onto the garden beyond.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all sitting beneath the pitched roofline. The family bathroom completes the first floor, fitted with a bath, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.
Double gates to the left-hand side of the property, together with a dropped kerb, offer the potential to create off-road parking.
The south-east-facing garden extends away from the house and is laid mainly to lawn, with a greenhouse and stone outbuilding. Beyond the surrounding rooftops, the spire of the village church rises into view.
Further back stands the substantial stone workshop, arranged across two rooms and totalling approximately 630 sq ft. Requiring renovation, it offers considerable potential for a variety of future uses, subject to the necessary consents.
Lyddington is a charming and highly sought-after Rutland village, prized for its attractive mix of character properties and peaceful setting. The village enjoys a vibrant community with an active social scene, two popular public houses, a church, and a village hall. It’s also home to the English Heritage site Lyddington Bede House, adding to its historical appeal. Just two miles from the historic market town of Uppingham, residents benefit from excellent specialist shopping, sporting and recreational facilities. The village offers convenient access to Leicester, Peterborough, Corby, and Kettering—all of which provide mainline train services with connections to London in under an hour. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, Lyddington is ideal for those seeking a characterful village lifestyle with strong transport links.
The property has spray foam insulation within the roof space. This can make mortgage lending very difficult to secure with many mainstream lenders, and for that reason the property is offered to cash buyers only. A quotation for the removal of the spray foam insulation is held on file and is available on request.
The property is offered to the market with all mains services and gas-fired central heating.
