Looking to find a new family home, or just being nosey?

Then look no further than our Property of the Week feature.

This week, Newton Fallowell are marketing a stunning period family home in Owston for £700,000.

'The Elms' is an extremely well-presented detached family home, situated in the sought-after village of Owston, only a short drive from Oakham, Uppingham's & Melton Mowbray's historic market town centres.

The house?

Having been lovingly extended and refurbished by the current owners over the recent years, potential buyers will find a beautiful selection of both original features throughout.

The property boasts a selection of well-considered accommodation throughout including four spacious reception rooms, a cottage style kitchen breakfast room, a separate utility room, three double bedrooms, an en-suite shower room and a four-piece bathroom.

Spread across two floors, the property is accessed from under the oak framed porch and light and airy entrance hall.

To the left, interested parties will find a good sized living room offering a feature fireplace with an eye-catching wood burning stove, exposed Ironstone walls, vaulted ceilings with original exposed beams and double doors that open out into the rear garden.

The light and airy kitchen breakfast room has excellent views over the rear garden and countryside and can easily be accessed via both the dining room and entrance hall. The kitchen offers a range of floor-to-wall base units and under-counter space to fit a dishwasher and double range oven.

Double doors from here open into the lovely orangery which oozes with natural light from the large skylight window and boasts excellent views of the rear garden. The downstairs accommodation is completed with a useful utility/boot room & separate WC.

Three double bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom can be accessed from the first floor landing. The master bedroom offers built-in storage as well as a three-piece shower room. Located at the rear of the property, the bedroom has windows overlooking the garden meaning you can wake up to the most glorious rolling countryside views every day.

The garden?

Externally you will find a block paved driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles, there is also a single garage located to the right hand side of the property, with power and light connected. Side access leads around to the rear south-facing landscaped garden which has been beautifully kept and is very easy to maintain.

The majority of the garden has been laid to lawn and also boasts a good-sized patio area which is easily accessible via the bi-folding doors in the orangery. This fantastic home is a real "Must View"!

The area?

Owston is located approximately 5 miles west of Oakham and has a beautiful church and small, friendly community. With easy access to Oakham and Uppingham, it offers the best of both worlds - a rural lifestyle with good connections to public transport and the cities of Leicester and Peterborough.
