Old Farmhouse
Dating from the 18th century, Old Farmhouse is a substantial and well-presented family home, offering some 3,600 sq.ft. of accommodation over two floors, with planning consent for the creation of additional accommodation.

The house is Grade II Listed and constructed of stone, with Collyweston and tile covered roofs. It offers well proportioned and versatile accommodation, served by two staircases. The accommodation retains considerable period charm, whilst it has been refurbished throughout by the present owner. Examples
of the fine period features include timber beamed ceilings, shuttered windows and attractive fireplaces, amongst others.

The gardens lie to the south and east of the house, offering fine views across to Holy Trinity church.

Planning consent
Rutland District Council has granted planning permission (APP/2010/1186/APB) and Listed Building Consent (APP/2010/1187/APB) for an attic conversion with dormer windows to provide an additional two bedrooms, together with the conversion of the car port to a habitable room. The permission also allows for a detached double garage to be erected within the garden.

Situation
• Teigh is a charming hamlet with predominantly stone properties and a delightful parish church, which remains almost unaltered since it was rebuilt in 1782;

• Designated a ‘Thankful Village’, a phrase coined by the writer Arthur Mee in the 1930s, Teigh is one of 32 villages in England and Wales from which all their members of the armed forces survived the Great War;

• The hamlet lies 6 miles to the north of the market town of Oakham whilst Uppingham and Stamford are also close by. These market towns form a triangle around Rutland Water and provide a wide range of shopping and cultural facilities, each renowned for their famous public schools;

• Communications are excellent with access to the A1 approximately 7 miles away, and mainline train services to London St Pancras International or London King’s Cross available at Kettering and Peterborough respectively.

Gardens
The house is approached through a charming lawned front garden, past well stocked flowering borders to the front door.

The driveway, accessed through an electric gate, provides access to the south of the house into the walled garden and the gravelled courtyard to the rear of the property, where the garaging is sited.

The south facing walled garden incorporates formal lawns, mature flowering and shrub borders and a Victorian greenhouse, all offering privacy and fine views of Holy Trinity church.
