Description
This three-bedroom Grade II listed cottage is situated in central Uppingham, within reach of the town's shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, separate dining room, living room, kitchen and shower room. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The listing describes the kitchen as having existing units and work surfaces, with scope for modernisation, and notes that both bathrooms could be updated to suit a new owner's requirements.
A courtyard garden provides outdoor space and access to a cellar used for storage. The property is presented as an opportunity to refresh the accommodation while retaining its period character. Its listed status should be considered when assessing any proposed works.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £265,000, this Grade II listed stone cottage is priced attractively at £270/sqf, around 11.4% below the local average. Its period character, central Uppingham setting and usable layout make that a strong starting point for a buyer looking to acquire well and add their own style.
The work looks light and mainly cosmetic: refresh the dated finishes and flooring, then prune and manage the enclosed courtyard. The generous living room and separate dining room offer flexibility, while the existing kitchen and two wash spaces provide a basis for updating rather than a stripped-out project. The £5,000–£14,000 renovation range suggests a manageable scope; the property scores as a potential opportunity overall, with location the less compelling part of the picture.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated décor and floor finishes to give the usable rooms a more contemporary feel.
- Make the most of the generous living room and separate dining room, adapting the layout and styling to suit modern living.
- Prune and manage the enclosed paved courtyard while retaining its established planting and period-cottage feel.
