Description
***Offered with no upward chain***
Set behind stone walls and private gates in the heart of Uppingham, The Old Workshop was originally built in 1895 as part of Uppingham School’s facilities. Converted to residential use in 1994, it was comprehensively updated in 2004, with oak floors and sympathetic modernisation throughout. The result is a well-balanced property with practical living space, architectural interest and a layout that offers both flexibility and comfort, all within a conservation area.
The front door makes a memorable first impression, set within a pointed stone arch and framed by ironwork. It opens into a generous hallway, from which the house flows naturally into its main reception rooms.
The dining room and adjacent L-shaped sitting room form the heart of the home. Both benefit from double-height ceilings with a gallery above and large windows that bring in an impressive amount of natural light. Exposed beams add warmth and structure, while visible steel struts on the upper level introduce a distinctive industrial detail that works beautifully with the building’s original fabric. The snug area of the sitting room offers a relaxed corner for everyday use while remaining part of the open plan layout.
The kitchen is accessed from the dining room and includes an Aga (available by separate negotiation), ample cabinetry, and a practical utility section with laundry facilities and additional storage. A breakfast table fits comfortably for those more relaxed days, and a door leads directly out to the garden, connecting the indoor space to the multi-level courtyard garden.
Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged along the galleried landing. The principal suite includes fitted wardrobes and a spacious en-suite shower room with a generous Grohe monsoon shower. A second double bedroom also offers built-in storage and exposed beams. The third bedroom, currently used as a study, is well sized and versatile, with an internal window that provides a quirky link down to the reception space below. Also on this level is a family bathroom with bath, basin and WC, and an additional separate shower room. A deep linen cupboard completes the upstairs layout.
Outside, the garden is compact and enclosed, bordered by brick walls, it functions more as a private courtyard than a traditional garden – a calm outdoor extension of the house, with a westerly aspect that brings in light from midday through to evening.
The property also includes a garage and two off-street parking spaces, all accessed via a pair of solid wooden electric double gates from the road. These gates also serve as a secondary access point to the garden. Beneath the main house, there is a spacious garage and a generous storage area, alongside an adjoining room that has been fully insulated and fitted with multiple power outlets. This versatile space is ideal as a home office, studio, or guest accommodation. Combining the spaces on this level provides the potential to create a self-contained annexe/holiday let with a kitchen and bathroom, subject to planning permission. With access both from the gated parking area and directly from the street, this space lends itself well to visiting family, live-in support or a separate workspace.
Although the house sits close to the centre of town, it retains a distinct sense of privacy. The churchyard sits across the road, offering a green and uninterrupted outlook, quiet neighbours, and the guarantee of no development.
