Launde Road, Launde

A traditional Victorian middle-terrace cottage with attractively landscaped garden backing on to open fields, set in a picturesque semi-rural hamlet on the border between Leicestershire and Rutland, just a few miles from the market towns of Oakham and Uppingham.

In the past two years, the current owner has made a number of improvements to the property including putting in new stairs, replacing a wood-burner in the lounge (and new flue), recarpeting upstairs, installing a new front door and replacing front and rear fencing. The interior would benefit from further routine updating.

The well-proportioned interior briefly comprises:

GROUND FLOOR: Entrance Porch, Lounge with wood-burning stove, Kitchen and Dining Area; FIRST FLOOR: two Bedrooms (one double and one single), Bathroom.

OUTSIDE there is a gravelled front garden bounded by picket fencing and a fully enclosed, landscaped rear garden with an Outbuilding, Summerhouse and Greenhouse taking in views over adjoining countryside.

Tenure: Freehold.
