Outside, a wide, gravelled driveway in front of the double garage allows off-street parking for at least four cars, and the pretty front garden is full of mature shrubs and perennials, a thick laurel hedge above a stone wall on one side. At the back, a paved terrace runs along the back of the house where retaining brick walls are interrupted by two sets of steps leading up to the lawn behind. Fully enclosed and totally private, borders contain mature evergreen and deciduous shrubs intermingled with perennials creating year round interest. Beyond the rear fence boundary, open farmland provides far reaching views from the upstairs windows.

The position of the property is within walking distance of all the amenities the village offers such as a primary school with a Good Ofsted rating, a highly-regarded medical centre, a well-stocked village store, an active village hall, St. Peter’s Church and The White Horse gastropub with en suite rooms. The proximity to Rutland Water is a wonderful boon for those with children or for anyone who enjoys outdoor pursuits, whilst the popular Cricket and Social Club is the perfect way to make new friends.

Road links are superb as Empingham sits on the A606 with glorious Stamford to the east and charming Oakham to the west, each less than a 10 minute drive, and the A1 Great North Road even nearer. A wide choice of excellent schools is in the area, notably private schools in Oakham, Stamford, Uppingham and Oundle.
