James Sellicks Estate Agents have brought to the market a six-bed character home in Uppingham with a guide price of £650,000.

The house?

Originally built in 1901, this impressive, six-bedroom character home offers expansive and flexible accommodation, a private driveway, and a courtyard garden, all sitting in within a stone’s throw of Uppingham town centre.

This impressive, six-bedroom property offers expansive and flexible accommodation arranged over three floors and although in need of modernisation, presents an incredible opportunity for a new owner to create a beautiful town centre home.

This handsome property retains much of its authentic charm and character. The earliest part of the building dates back to 1901. It still preserves original features such as the grand entrance door and hallway with an original Minton tile floor, cornice, ceiling roses and fireplaces.

The ground floor provides ample living space with a light and airy open plan kitchen, three large reception rooms, a conservatory opening out to the garden, utility spaces and a ground floor bedroom and bathroom. 

The kitchen is large, light and bright, with heaps of character. Image credit: James Sellicks.

On the first and second floor there are a range of bedrooms and bathrooms. All of the bedrooms are large double rooms and all featuring their original fireplaces.

The bathroom is large, great for a growing family. Image credit: James Sellicks.

Externally, in a later addition to this property is further accommodation, converted from two fives courts. This additional space could be utilised in a variety of different ways, such as guest accommodation, home office space or could even be converted into garaging.

The property has ample space and a large plot for such a central home. Image credit: James Sellicks.

The garden?

The sunny, south-facing courtyard garden still has original wall from the old cottages that once stood there, a charming nod to the property's history. The courtyard is completely enclosed and is made up of a variety of hard-landscaped and lawned areas to enjoy throughout the season. There are electric double gates providing access to the private, off-road parking.

The garden is charming, with outbuildings. Image credit: James Sellicks.
