Independence House - Oakham

Summary:
Perfectly positioned within the heart of the historic market town of Oakham is our beautiful four bedroom period town house. Our stunning house has 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 of which are doubles, 1 twin room and 1 single room. There is also a sofa bed in the downstairs snug that would sleep an additional 2 people.

We are able to offer an optional private dining package at this property. Please get in touch with our team to receive your bespoke quote.

The Space:
Oakham is a picturesque, quintessentially English market town, bustling with activity and has an exciting and mouth-watering choice of menus to sample at an abundant mix of cafes, bars, restaurants and pubs to suit everyone’s needs. With so many local attractions to explore, plenty of stylish shops and boutiques to visit and farmers markets to frequent and located only a stones throw away is the stunning award winning Michelin star Hitchens Barn restaurant, there is plenty to see, enjoy and experience, making it the ideal break away with your friends and family.

Step back in time with a visit to Oakham Castle by the Market Place, Britain’s finest example of Norman architecture and recently restored thanks to a £2.2 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Our stunning house has 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 of which are doubles, 1 twin room and 1 single room. There is also a sofa bed in the downstairs snug that would sleep an additional 2 people along with a ground floor WC. There are 2 bathrooms and a very large kitchen dining area, perfect for the family to gather around for home cooked meals or for one of our private dining experiences. There is an extensive library of books for you to enjoy if you prefer to snuggle down with a good book rather than a 22 miles cycle around Rutland Water.

Hop in the car for 10 minutes and you'll find the wonderful Rutland Water where you can hire bikes and enjoy the picturesque cycle trails. Or, if the dates work take a short stroll into the town on the 3rd Sunday of the month to visit Oakham Farmers Market.

Our home comes with an allocated private parking space suitable for 1 car. Any additional cars can be parked in the public car park less than 100m away.

We do accept pets at the property, however, there will be an additional pet fee. Please note, pets are only allowed on the ground floor.

Discounted rates are available for longer stays or corporate bookings. Please enquire for more details.

Amazing short stay
The house was just perfect for what we were after. A reunion of friends, where we could just catch up, chill, eat food, drink wine, go for a walk... The house ticked all our boxes. Communication was great. No issues.

Several things wrong with house
The bath top floor leaks all over the floor and through the ceiling as soon as the plug is taken out. Reported Friday. It looks like this wasn’t the first time. Central heating works fine for most of the house, bar the single room middle floor, and the hallway to the staircase ground floor, which were stone cold. The heating comes on at random times with no obvious or published way for the guest to decide. The kitchen electrics required circuit breakers to be reset Fri evening, kettle, microwave and hot tub through the wall were on. Top floor twin room has no door knobs, 2 young children had to be rescued. The top floor bathroom has a loose doorknob on the inside, ie it comes off in your hand. Downstairs toilet seat very loose. Kitchen dustbin needs replacing, you have to take the lid off, rather than use it’s correct function. Middle floor small bannister is loose on the wall. Middle floor bedroom door does not fully shut. Dining room clock was still on British summer time, so what, but maybe the heating is set up the same way. Only 2 teaspoons in a house with 9 beds! It would be very useful for guests to having printed info rather than rely on a link. Email received late, so finding the wifi code ? The heating info needs more detail, there are various thermostat sensors, which are not obvious to set. Microwave has a loose panel on the front. Electric fire in lounge, we tried due the central heating, but not sure it is even connected. TV in snug , ground floor, has no aerial lead.
