For travel, the area is surprisingly connected. Oakham railway station has hourly Midlands Cross Country services to Peterborough, Cambridge and Stansted Airport to the east and Leicester and Birmingham Airport to the west. The A47 provides fast vehicular access to Peterborough, from which mainline East Coast commuter services to London Kings Cross take from 51 minutes. Market Harborough, Corby and Kettering also have mainline East Midlands rail services to London St Pancras in about an hour. The area is blessed with excellent state and private schools. UCC at Uppingham is well thought of, whilst the nearby market towns of Uppingham, Oakham and Stamford all have renowned private schools. For leisure, Rutland Water with its sailing club, walks and RSPB Nature Reserve is close at hand via some rural lanes which are ideal for cycling. Accommodation The House entrance hallway leads past access to the integral double garage, cloakroom and utility, leading to a large full width, dual aspect open plan family dining kitchen. The ceramic floored kitchen is fitted with an extensive oak fronted suite under granite worktops with an integrated dishwasher and appliances, as well as a large gas fired Rangemaster cooker. A designated living area has a wood burning stove and full height windows and door to the front. A dual aspect oak floored dining room with full height patio doors to the garden is accessed from a wood floored central stairwell hall, as is the third reception room, the family room, with an office beyond which links into The Windmill. At first floor, the staircase rises to a spacious and vaulted sitting room with open fireplace and French doors to two balconies, from which the views are splendid. The large principal and guest bedrooms both have en suite shower rooms and balconies, whilst bedrooms three and four are well placed for access to the modern and well-appointed family bathroom. Occupying an attractive rural position with far reaching southerly views, the well-proportioned main house comprises four spacious reception rooms, a full-width dining kitchen and four generous bedrooms, served by three bath or shower rooms. Constructed in 1997, the two-storey house has mellow brick elevations under a slate roof. It offers well-designed and bright accommodation with large double-glazed windows, solid wood and ceramic tiled floors and well-appointed kitchen and bathroom suites. The kitchen and reception rooms are well proportioned, with a particularly large first floor sitting room, from which full height patio doors to balconies showcase the stunning views. The Windmill The house is linked at ground-floor level and externally, via balconies, at first floor to the Grade II listed four-storey windmill. Shingle clad and complete with sails, The Windmill is a self contained two bedroom cottage which, whilst with potential to incorporate within the main house, has been let in recent years as a holiday cottage and Airbnb. The Windmill is a fabulous landmark structure, which is visible for many miles. With an independent entrance, the circular four storey building has been let as a holiday cottage in recent years. A family kitchen and cloakroom occupy the ground floor, with first and second floor bedrooms and a shower room at the top of the building. Outside The property is positioned with just under 15 acres of garden, pasture and woodland, arranged in a ring-fenced block to the north, east and west of the house. The gardens have been designed and landscaped, with almost 6,000 native species trees planted as an arboretum wood, together with mixed shrubs and flowering borders, as well as a vegetable garden and wild flower meadow. The adjoining pasture is divided into two paddocks, with a stable block outbuilding. General Information Services: Mains gas, electricity and water. Private drainage. Mains gas central heating.
