The hallway accesses the kitchen and two formal reception rooms. The first reception room, ideal as a dining room, children's play room or family snug, shares the same flooring as the hallway and is dual aspect. The second, the sitting room, is also dual aspect, but with French doors that open to the garden and with a contemporary wood burning stove.
A fabulous light, bright and sociable open plan kitchen diner occupies the full width of the house, and is the heart to this home. The striking suite has wall and base units beneath marble worktops, with integrated appliances, including a plumbed fridge freezer, built-in microwave, electric oven and Smeg hob, along with a large island unit that takes centre stage. The marble topped island incorporates a breakfast bar, plenty of storage and an integrated dishwasher and wine fridge.

This fabulous one-off new-build home is positioned in the heart of one of my favourite Rutland villages; one that combines good services, with pub, school, shop and doctor's surgery, together with access to some lovely countryside for walks, runs and bike rides with easy access on foot to Rutland Water.
