Situation The Conservation Village of Burrough on the Hill has a public house and parish church and comprises a collection of attractive and largely period houses. The village occupies an elevated setting within scenic rolling countryside in a triangle of land between Leicester to the west, Melton Mowbray to the north and Oakham to the east, and was renowned in the 1930s as the reputed meeting place of Edward, Prince of Wales, and Mrs Simpson. The market towns of Oakham, Uppingham, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough, from which there are mainline commuter rail services to London St Pancras, are all easily accessible, as is Leicester and the M1 to the west, or and the A1 to the east, via the A47. An hourly Midlands Cross Country rail service from Oakham or Melton Mowbray serves Birmingham Airport (via Leicester) and Stansted Airport (via Peterborough and Cambridge). The area boasts a choice of well-known public and preparatory schooling, including Brooke Priory, Oakham, Ratcliffe College, Uppingham and Stamford Schools, among others, all within a 20 mile radius. Peake’s Farm Peake’s Farm is a detached, unlisted stone house. Dating from the 17th century, it was significantly extended in the Georgian era and 20th century, and has been modernised by the current owners with the electrical rewiring and re-plumbing of the house, along with the renewal of the kitchen and bathroom and creation of an ensuite to the principal bedroom, in 2011. The house is off-set to the road and has two driveways. The main driveway to north of the house offers access to the land past a gravelled turning sweep at the house. The secondary access to the south of the house accesses an enclosed courtyard framed by the stable outbuildings. Pre-app planning advice in 2017 suggested the potential (subject to full planning) for the creation of an ancillary annex within the outbuildings.

Accommodation The front entrance staircase hallway provides access to the drawing room and kitchen, as well as the first floor. The dual-aspect drawing room has French doors to the elevated east facing garden terrace, and an open fireplace with marble inlay and hearth. The kitchen/breakfast room occupies the core of the house and has a modern fitted suite. It provides access to the dining room, which has a beamed ceiling and window seat and the dual-aspect sitting room, with window seats. At first floor level there are four well proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room, whilst the three other bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom.

Outside The garden and land extend to 1.17 acres, or thereabouts in total and lie principally to the east of the house and its outbuildings. A morning terrace, adjoining the drawing room, offers beautiful views over the land, which slopes gently down to its eastern boundary. Lawned, the gardens include an orchard to the rear of the stable outbuilding, whilst a field gate off the main driveway provides access to the lower paddock.
