The Mediterranean and Rutland are words you’ve probably never seen in the same sentence, but we’ve recently discovered a little slice of the Med right here in the pretty village of Ketton, in the heat of Rutland, just outside the beautiful market town of Stamford.
We can’t promise year-round sunshine, but we can promise that each time you walk through the door of this fabulous home, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into an exclusive Spanish complex, and it’s a place that keeps giving.
Let’s start with the basics. This property is located within the historic Maltings in Ketton, which is in the heart of Rutland. It was completely overhauled in the early 2000s, keeping its traditional exterior while updating the interior to be on-trend for modern-day homeowners.
The complex is an exclusive development comprising of four homes that share a Mediterranean-style entrance foyer, complete with a water feature and high ceilings that flood the space with light. It’s warm, beautiful, and has the wow factor. It’s also secure, safe, and comfortable for real everyday life.
The property itself is currently spread over three floors, but there is an attic space that is begging to be converted, and even better, the stairs are already in place!
There are four bedrooms, but if you don’t need that many, don’t worry. They are equally great spaces for anything your heart desires.
This place is packed with original character but feels so modern. It’s a complete mix of everything and utterly unique in this area.
Think city living but with lots of space, in an historical building that feels like the Med, with an English garden and parking, and you’re just about there. Seems crazy right, and it is but in all the right ways!
Usually, a property fits a particular type of buyer, but this one feels like it can cater for anyone.
It can handle a downsizer because it doesn’t feel like you’re compromising on space; it’s equally great as a second home because of the safety and security of the complex and the lock-up and leave convenience. It would make an excellent investment for another income from Airbnb, and for the first-time buyer, it’s the perfect set-up.
What about kids and pets? I hear you ask. Fear not because It’s not a problem; there is a fabulous communal garden and designated tandem parking for two vehicles, one of which is undercover.
There are stairs here, so that does need to be considered, but again, there are options. A lift, perhaps? They are more popular than ever nowadays, and it could be a real possibility, subject to relevant permissions, of course.
So, what are the negatives? That all depends on your point of view and what you want from your next home, but honestly, I can’t see any. I can say that if you’re looking for a detached home with a private garden in the middle of nowhere, this one isn’t for you.
At this price point, a property of this size and design in this area is unheard of. It offers incredible value for money, and it’s located in a village that people are desperate to move to. It’s tick after tick after tick.
You’ve got a great pub nearby, a local shop and post office, a primary school, a library, play areas, walking trails and more, all within easy reach, and the market towns of Stamford and Oakham, both of which have excellent transport links to major cities, are just minutes away by car or bus.
This property must be viewed in person. It has so much going on that you can only really get a feel for it by being in the space. On that note, you can learn more about the property and book a viewing by clicking here or giving our friendly team a call at 01780 672030.
