‘The Lodge is a substantial 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence set in nearly an acre of private, mainly walled garden. Being set back from the road, with its close proximity to Oakham town centre, this is a rare opportunity to find a property so close and within walking distance to both of the town’s popular secondary schools—private and state.

With a long driveway approach off Manor Lane and having garaging and gardens that have previously been open to the public, this property boasts stunning character features including a bow bay window to the sitting room and to the master bedroom. It has 2 decent-sized reception rooms, a kitchen with AGA, pantry, and utility room. A range of outbuildings are currently used as a room and workshop but may work well to be combined into the living accommodation to give a home office or living kitchen area, subject to planning. 

Barleythorpe is a village lying to the north-west of Oakham just over a mile from the town centre. Many facilities are available in Oakham and these include schools, a good range of shops, post office, doctors, dentists, opticians, library etc.  For commuters Barleythorpe is within driving distance of a number of centres including Melton Mowbray, Nottingham, Leicester, Peterborough, Corby, Kettering, Uppingham and Stamford. In addition there is a British Rail station at Oakham where there are services to Leicester, Birmingham and Peterborough and at the latter destination a good service to London, King's Cross.

Oakham 1.0 mile (4 minutes) / Uppingham 9.0 miles (19 minutes) / Melton Mowbray 9.0 miles (15 minutes) / Stamford 12.0 miles (20 minutes) / Peterborough Railway Station 25.0 miles (35 minutes)

Leisure facilities in the area are many and varied and these include a good range of ball participating sports such as football, rugby, cricket, tennis, bowls and golf and Rutland Water lies just to the east of Oakham where further sports can be enjoyed including fishing, sailing and windsurfing. The area has a good selection of well-regarded independent and state schools.

*****Please note: Two previous planning applications for development on the land opposite have been refused. A more recent application (autumn 2025), which proposed a reduced number of properties and included a substantial buffer zone separating the new development from the existing Barleythorpe homes, has also been refused.  *****
