luxury house with terrace for sale Market Deeping, United Kingdom

Some homes have presence because of their scale, others because of their setting. Becket House possesses both. Positioned in one of the most distinctive locations within the conservation village of Greatford, the house sits alongside Greatford Hall and the parish church of St Thomas a Becket, approached over an attractive late eighteenth century stone bridge that immediately sets the tone for arrival. Hidden from the main road and surrounded by mature gardens extending to just over half an acre, it occupies a setting that feels unusually private and quietly special.For the current owners, however, it was not simply the location that first caught their attention. Having originally been searching for an older property, they were drawn to the fact that although Becket House was built in 1986, it carried all the visual character of a much earlier house. Constructed by a builder for his own occupation using reclaimed stone from an old barn, the property immediately offered the appeal of traditional architecture combined with the advantages of more modern construction and practical family living.Its origins are closely linked with neighbouring Greatford Hall. The house was created within what had once been the Hall's vegetable gardens and the historic wall that still encloses the rear garden forms part of the original boundary to the estate. Today, those connections remain part of the property's character, giving Becket House a sense of belonging within its surroundings rather than feeling simply placed beside them.The approach is memorable. Crossing the bridge and passing the church and Greatford Hall creates an arrival that feels both atmospheric and unexpectedly secluded. The driveway sweeps gently around the house, opening into a substantial parking area and giving access to the garages. Mature planting, lawns and carefully arranged borders frame the front garden, while the church beyond provides a picturesque backdrop.Internally, Becket House extends to over 3,400 square feet and offers accommodation that feels both substantial and adaptable. Throughout the house there is a consistent sense of light and flow, something the owners have particularly enjoyed during their time here. Large windows and multiple garden-facing doors ensure that many of the principal rooms enjoy attractive views and a strong connection with the outside.The entrance hall forms a welcoming central point from which much of the ground floor accommodation unfolds. Double doors lead directly into the family kitchen and dining space while also connecting to the principal reception rooms and cloakroom facilities.The kitchen sits firmly at the heart of the home and is arranged as an impressive open plan family space. Generously proportioned and thoughtfully designed, it incorporates extensive cabinetry and a large central island beneath stone work surfaces, creating a practical arrangement for everyday life as well as entertaining.The owners comment that the house works exceptionally well for gatherings and celebrations, particularly during Christmas when the layout allows guests to move naturally between spaces. The open arrangement downstairs has hosted numerous parties over the years and the relationship between the house and garden becomes particularly apparent during the warmer months.French doors open directly from the dining and living areas onto the south facing gardens beyond. In fact, the owners note that three separate sets of doors along the rear elevation all frame views of the gardens and allow the outside to become part of day-to-day life.Beyond the principal kitchen space sits the striking garden room. With its vaulted glazed atrium ceiling and generous proportions, it provides an impressive additional reception space with a character entirely of its own. Filled with natural light and enjoying direct access to the garden and driveway, it creates a room that can function equally well as a quieter retreat or as part of larger entertaining occasions.Elsewhere, the house provides a selection of further reception areas suited to both family life and more formal occasions. The principal sitting room enjoys a dual aspect arrangement that allows light to move through the room throughout the day. French doors open directly onto the gardens, while a wood burning stove set within a stone fireplace creates a more intimate focal point during colder months.Alongside sits a substantial study. Beautifully proportioned and overlooking the gardens, it offers obvious practical use as a home office while retaining flexibility for a range of future uses depending on a purchaser's requirements.The current owners worked with Hunters Interiors in shaping much of the decorative scheme throughout the house. Their approach has been to create interiors that feel contemporary yet comfortable and welcoming. The result is a home that balances scale with warmth, avoiding formality despite its generous proportions.The first floor accommodation continues the sense of space established downstairs. Four double bedrooms are arranged around a large central landing, including the principal and guest bedrooms which both benefit from fitted wardrobes and en suite shower rooms. A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and includes a separate shower.A particularly versatile feature of the house lies beyond the main bedroom arrangement. Rising from the garden room, a separate staircase leads to bedroom five, complete with its own en suite shower room. Positioned independently from the principal first floor accommodation, it offers flexibility for guests, older children or multi-generational arrangements.Alongside the main house sits The Barn, a detached ancillary cottage arranged over two floors. Separate from the principal accommodation and with its own parking and garden area, The Barn is currently let and introduces opportunities for a range of future uses, subject to any necessary requirements. The accommodation includes a kitchen and sitting room at ground floor level with two bedrooms and a bathroom above. Well-proportioned throughout, it is a valuable addition to the overall property.Outside, the gardens have received considerable attention during the current ownership, with extensive investment in the landscape design, reshaping and development of the gardens to create a stronger sense of structure and year-round interest.Particular attention was given to planting and borders, including the creation of a substantial herbaceous border running alongside the original boundary wall. This was designed specifically to provide colour and interest throughout the seasons and forms one of the defining features of the gardens today.The rear gardens are especially private and enjoy a south facing orientation. Expansive lawns combine with mature planting, pathways and seating areas to create a sequence of spaces rather than a single open area. Framed by established trees, walls and planting, the gardens feel sheltered and peaceful while still retaining a sense of openness.The owners describe the property as ideal for entertaining but equally suited to quieter, day-to-day enjoyment. It is not only the house itself they will miss, but also the wider village community.Greatford has long been known for its strong sense of community and village spirit. The village hall forms the centre of many local activities and events throughout the year, including regular gatherings and summer celebrations. According to the owners there is a genuine sense of people looking after one another and stepping forward when help is needed.Combined with the convenience of Stamford, Bourne and Peterborough nearby, together with excellent schooling and transport connections, Becket House offers an unusual combination of privacy, practicality and character.Some houses offer attractive accommodation. Others offer memorable settings. Becket House manages to combine both in a way that feels increasingly difficult to find. Disclaimer:These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.

Maple Lodge is a home of rare privacy and warmth, set within the quiet enclave of Greatford Gardens, a unique residential pocket in one of Lincolnshire’s most desirable villages. With expansive countryside views, direct access to local footpaths and a garden that has been thoughtfully nurtured for year-round enjoyment, this is a property that truly celebrates its setting. Tucked away over a bridge that crosses an original brook and set well back from the road, the house has an immediate sense of peace and retreat.The house is approached by a sweeping driveway that curves around to an American-style oak porch, which creates a strong first impression and a warm welcome. From the moment you enter, the generous proportions and sense of calm are immediately apparent. The entrance hall is light and spacious, centred on a graceful curved staircase that draws the eye and adds a gentle architectural rhythm to the interior.The layout of the house is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A large open-plan reception space spans the full depth of the house, with sliding doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and garden. At its heart is a working log burner with a built-in wood store – a focal point that brings atmosphere and comfort in the cooler months. The flow of light and the west-facing aspect give this space a feeling of quiet openness, while offering a seamless connection with the garden.One of the most distinctive features is the indoor swimming pool. Surrounded by windows and set beneath a handsome timber ceiling, the room is bright and spacious, with a galleried landing above, two changing rooms and a mezzanine viewing area.The kitchen enjoys a lovely view of the garden and includes a breakfast bar, as well as an American style ‘booth’ for casual eating. From here, the layout flows naturally through a substantial utility room and into a well-fitted boot room, which has direct access to the outside – ideal for countryside living. An additional space off the kitchen offers versatility, and is currently used as a study.To the rear, the owners created what has become the heart of the house: a spectacular oak-framed garden room. This all-glass extension floods with natural light and connects beautifully to the surrounding garden. Open beams give it character, while underfloor heating ensures it remains cosy and welcoming even in the depths of winter. It is a space designed to be enjoyed year-round, whether for quiet reading, entertaining, or simply soaking in the changing views.Upstairs, the landing leads to five double bedrooms, including a principal suite and a guest suite, both with en-suite bathrooms and built-in storage. One of the bedrooms is currently arranged as a hobby room but could easily become a fifth bedroom or spacious office. The family bathroom includes a separate bath and a steam-capable shower. Every bedroom enjoys a different aspect, some over fields, others towards the intricate and lovingly landscaped garden.The garden at Maple Lodge is much more than a setting, it is an experience. Winding paths, archways, specimen trees and secret spots make it feel like a private parkland. A standout feature is the Monet-style bridge that crosses a generous pond, complete with a small island and mature plantings. There is a shaded terrace beneath an awning – perfect for outdoor lunches – and a charming summer house with its own porch, tucked into a quiet corner for reading or retreat. Each area of the garden invites exploration, and the effect is both enchanting and deeply peaceful. Disclaimer:These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.

There is something immediately compelling about Ragstone House. Approached through the quiet hamlet of Pilsgate, just outside Stamford, it combines the mellow character of a traditional limestone home with the scale, finish and versatility more often associated with a contemporary country house. Behind its handsome stone elevations lies a property that has been comprehensively transformed by the current owners, creating a home that is both deeply practical and undeniably luxurious.Originally formed from four workers' cottages owned by the Burghley Estate, the oldest parts of the house are believed to date back to the mid-1800s. In the 1960s, the cottages were combined into a single dwelling by an architect who wrote for Ideal Home magazine, with the property subsequently featured in the publication following its conversion. Today, that rich architectural evolution remains evident throughout the house, where exposed stone walls, substantial timber beams and traditional proportions sit comfortably alongside crisp contemporary finishes and thoughtfully designed open-plan spaces.For the current owners, Ragstone House stood apart immediately. Its size and proportions, proximity to Stamford and excellent independent schooling, and the opportunity to undertake a full renovation all proved irresistible. They were drawn not simply to the property itself, but to the chance to create a long-term family home tailored entirely to their own tastes and way of life.What followed was an extensive programme of improvement and modernisation that has fundamentally elevated the house while remaining sympathetic to its origins. Conservation approved casement windows were installed in 2019, and in 2021 and 2022 the owners temporarily vacated the property while a comprehensive back-to-brick refurbishment was undertaken. The works included complete rewiring and replumbing, upgraded insulation, replacement joists where required and the installation of a new three-phase electricity supply. At the same time, a substantial triple garage with office and shower room above was constructed, significantly enhancing the flexibility of the property.The result is a house that feels exceptionally cohesive. The interiors have been finished to an incredibly high standard. In the communal spaces, a calm, neutral palette has been used, creating a light and airy atmosphere throughout while allowing the building's original features to take centre stage. In other areas, stronger colours really highlight the various features of the property. Natural timber has been carefully exposed wherever possible, lending warmth and texture to the spaces. Downstairs, elegant flagstone flooring from Stamford Stone runs through much of the ground floor, complemented by oak flooring in the reception room and snug, all benefiting from underfloor heating. Upstairs, the landing features oak parquet flooring, while the bedrooms are finished in soft neutral carpets that contribute to the sense of comfort and understated luxury.At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space. Beautifully designed for both day-to-day family life and larger-scale entertaining, it balances practicality with striking aesthetics. Dark cabinetry, warm timber surfaces and stone flooring create a sophisticated yet welcoming feel, while the substantial central copper island naturally draws people together. The adjoining dining area is flooded with light from dramatic glazing overlooking the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.It is easy to understand why the owners spend much of their time here. They describe the kitchen as the social centre of the house, somewhere friends and family naturally gather, whether for relaxed evenings or larger celebrations. The sense of flow between the kitchen, dining area and garden makes the house particularly well suited to entertaining.Equally inviting is the reception room, where exposed stonework, deeply textured timber beams and a substantial fireplace create a wonderfully atmospheric space. The owners particularly enjoy relaxing here beside the log burner during the colder months, and despite the scale of the property, there is a genuine sense of warmth and comfort throughout. Additional flexible rooms provide options for a snug, study, playroom or home working space, allowing the house to adapt easily to changing family needs.Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms provide generous and versatile accommodation. The principal suite is especially impressive, while the bathrooms throughout the house have been finished to an exceptional standard, combining high-quality fittings with elegant, timeless styling. Every element feels carefully considered, continuing the restrained and cohesive design language seen across the property.Externally, Ragstone House is equally impressive. A large paved forecourt provides extensive parking and leads to the triple garage block, above which sits a substantial open-plan room complete with shower facilities. Whether used as a gym, studio, office, showroom or additional workspace, it offers significant flexibility for modern living.The gardens have been designed to provide both privacy and enjoyment. Mature trees and established planting create a wonderfully secluded setting, while the swimming pool and hot tub (available by separate negotiation) transform the property during the summer months. The owners describe the atmosphere as being akin to a holiday at home, particularly on warm sunny days when friends and family gather around the pool and terrace for parties and long evenings outdoors.What makes Ragstone House particularly special is its versatility. Despite its generous proportions, it remains an extremely comfortable and liveable family home, with a variety of spaces that allow both togetherness and privacy. Whether hosting large social occasions, relaxing quietly by the fire or enjoying the garden in summer, the house adapts effortlessly to every season and occasion.The location has also played a significant role in the owners' enjoyment of the property. Pilsgate offers an appealing balance between peaceful rural living and excellent accessibility. Stamford is only a short distance away, making evenings out and day-to-day amenities easily accessible, while the surrounding countryside provides wonderful walking opportunities.The owners particularly valued the proximity to schools. Their daughter was able to cycle safely into Stamford using the footpath network, giving her a sense of independence, while school transport for Oakham School conveniently stops just outside the house. The nearby Millstone Inn in Barnack is within walking distance and has become a favourite local destination, while sporting facilities including tennis clubs at Barnack and Ketton add further appeal to the area.After eight years at Ragstone House, the owners speak about the property with enormous affection. They describe having poured their hearts into the house, creating a home that reflects both their personalities and tastes. It is clear that every improvement has been made with care, consideration and a genuine appreciation for the building itself.Ragstone House is therefore far more than simply a beautifully renovated period property. It is a home where historic character and modern living have been brought together with exceptional success, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming country residence in one of the area's most desirable settings. Disclaimer:These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.

Nestled in almost an acre of land on the outskirts of King’s Cliffe in Northamptonshire, this stunning barn conversion stands as a testament to the seamless blend of history and modernity. Completed in 2021, the property was meticulously transformed from a collection of original farm buildings into a luxurious and light-filled residence. The conversion was undertaken with a deep respect for the building’s heritage, preserving original stone walls and beams while incorporating new trusses and a roof that’s perfectly in keeping with the property's rustic charm. With the attention to detail abundant no matter where you cast your eye, this home truly is a rare treasure in today’s market.The home offers a bounty of space and light, both inside and out, which the owners have cherished during their time here. The sense of openness, combined with the natural beauty of the surrounding pastoral landscape, creates an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity that’s becoming harder to come by.Inside, the property is equally impressive. The sitting room, with its galleried landing and exquisite vaulted ceiling complete with exposed beams, and a feature Charnwood air log burner is both grand and cosy, perfect for the oncoming autumnal and winter evenings. But the room is bathed in natural light, thanks to large windows that overlook the gardens, making it a pleasant space to relax within any time of the year. The remarkable open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area is the beating heart of the home, creating a fantastic space for family gatherings and entertaining guests. It truly is a chef’s dream come true, featuring a Nickleby Hepplewhite kitchen and utility room units, all hand-painted in Farrow & Ball's Stiffkey Blue with Jazz hand chrome handles. The kitchen also boasts a Steel Enfasi range cooker with an induction hob as well as Sub Zero Fridge Freezer Wine Cooler. The work surface, a Neolithic Silestone in Classic Calacatta with a suede finish, adds a touch of luxury, while the Franke sink and mixer tap complete the high-end specification. The kitchen’s layout is not only beautiful but highly functional, offering ample storage and workspace for culinary endeavours. Complementing the kitchen area is a separate dining room, which offers wonderful views of the courtyard and garden, making it an ideal setting for more formal occasions.The master bedroom is another highlight of the home, boasting a spacious en suite with a double wash unit, shower, and bath. The room exudes a sense of luxury and comfort, making it a perfect retreat after a long day. Although the house features five bedrooms and as many bathrooms, the owners have converted what was originally designated as a sixth bedroom into a stylish walk-in dressing room, which could easily be reverted if desired. This flexibility in the layout adds to the property’s appeal, offering options for growing families or those who frequently host guests. A large study with garden views on two sides offers additional flexibility as a potential family room or playroom, depending on the new owners’ needs.One of the property’s standout features is the courtyard, an addition by the current owners that further enhances the outdoor living experience and provide ample space to enjoy the magnificent views. Originally planned as part of the rear lawn, the courtyard was thoughtfully designed as a summer retreat, complete with inset borders, shrubs, flowers, and spotlights that create a magical ambiance at night. This space has become a favourite spot for the owners, providing a perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxation with its stylish patio terrace. The gardens, both front and rear, have been meticulously landscaped, with a large area dedicated to roses and lavenders. The owners also planted apple and cherry trees, adding to the charm and beauty of the outdoor space. Security hasn’t been overlooked across Huskissons View. Electrically operated front gates ensure controlled access, while discreetly placed digital security cameras provide live video monitoring and recording 24/7, all easily managed via a phone app. A full alarm system and an installed safe offer additional peace of mind. The property is also equipped with Gigaclear fibre optic, ensuring excellent Wi-Fi throughout the home, making it well-suited for modern living and remote work alike.But what truly sets this property apart is its south-facing position, offering excellent natural light throughout the house. The glazed French doors that run along the lounge, dining, and kitchen rooms flood the space with light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The rear views are nothing short of spectacular, offering a picturesque backdrop to daily life. The outdoor lifestyle is further enhanced by private gardens that aren’t overlooked, offering a sense of seclusion while still being part of a small, friendly community. The property, part of a group of four barn conversions, has its own private driveway, ensuring privacy and security.The location is indeed ideal with Stamford only ten minutes away, and Oundle and Uppingham within a fifteen-minute drive. The nearby Rutland Water offers beautiful walking routes, perfect for those who enjoy outdoor activities. The property’s proximity to Fineshade Woods, part of Rockingham Forest, is another highlight, providing easy access to a bounty of natural beauty right from the doorstep. The owners also take advantage of the Oundle public school’s fifty metre pool, enjoying regular swims at the nearby facility.   Disclaimer:These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.

Nestled within the charming village of Edith Weston, 15 Rectory Lane is a handsome, stone-built home offering a peaceful setting, modern interiors and easy access to the unrivalled natural beauty of Rutland Water. Completed in 2020 and presented to a high standard throughout, this attractive family home occupies an elevated position within a generous plot of approximately one third of an acre, combining the benefits of modern design with a traditional aesthetic that sits comfortably among its historic surroundings.Arranged over two floors, the house offers a well-balanced layout with a flowing ground floor and four double bedrooms above. Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hall sets the tone with its sense of calm and light. From here, doors lead to the main living areas including a beautifully proportioned reception room to one side. This is a room made for all seasons, with full-height windows and bi-fold doors that frame views of the garden and flood the space with natural light. In the cooler months, the wood-burning stove provides a warm and cosy focal point.Adjacent to the reception room is the formal dining room, ideal for entertaining guests or enjoying family dinners. Beyond this is the real heart of the home, a beautiful open-plan kitchen and breakfast room with sleek lines and ample space to cook, dine and relax. Here, full-height bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden terrace, creating a seamless transition between inside and out. The current owners say they have spent much of their time in this part of the house, drawn by the peace and tranquillity of the setting. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting friends on a summer’s evening, this space has served as the perfect backdrop.Also on the ground floor are a practical utility room and a guest cloakroom, both neatly tucked away from the main living areas.Upstairs, the layout continues to impress. The principal suite spans the depth of the house and comprises a spacious double bedroom, an en suite shower room and a fully fitted dressing room. The wardrobes here, and in the main bedroom, were custom installed by Sharps, ensuring a smart use of space. Three further double bedrooms are arranged off a central landing, two of which share a stylish Jack and Jill en suite, while the fourth has access to the well-appointed family bathroom. Each bedroom is light, bright and beautifully finished, making this an ideal home for families, visiting guests or even those needing a separate space to work from home.Outside, the garden is a true highlight. Lovingly landscaped by the current owners, the wraparound design ensures that every room in the house enjoys a view of green space. Tiered in design, it offers a combination of lawned areas, raised beds and smart planting, as well as a greenhouse and shed. There is a sense of maturity and privacy rarely found in modern homes and, with ample space for outdoor dining and entertaining, it is a garden that suits both active and restful moments. The couple’s Spanish Water Dog has certainly made the most of it. A spacious patio provides the perfect place to enjoy a barbecue, while the tranquil setting encourages a slower pace of life.To the front, the property is approached via electric double gates, offering security and a sense of arrival. There is a generous driveway providing off-street parking for several cars and a detached double garage with light and power.For those with a passion for sailing or outdoor pursuits, the proximity to Rutland Water is a huge advantage. Just moments from the front door are scenic walking and cycling routes, the sailing club, nature reserves and picture-postcard views. The village itself is warm and welcoming, with a friendly community and good local amenities including a shop, café, post office and traditional pub.Commuting is easy too, with the charming market towns of Oakham, Uppingham and Stamford all within ten minutes’ drive, and mainline rail services to London available from Peterborough and Corby. A number of well-regarded state and independent schools are also close by, making this an ideal location for families. Disclaimer:These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.

Approached along a quiet stretch of Barrowden Road and set high above the Welland Valley, The Windmill is one of those rare Rutland landmarks that is instantly recognisable from afar yet unexpectedly comfortable and practical once inside its gates. Combining a Grade II listed four storey windmill with a substantial modern brick house and around fifteen acres of gardens, pasture and woodland, the property brings together architectural character, flexible living space and an established equestrian setup within a single coherent holding.The position is central to its appeal. From the house and windmill there are wide views across open countryside towards Stamford, Rutland Water and the surrounding villages of the Welland Valley, while mature planting and shelter belts around the immediate garden create a surprisingly private and protected domestic setting close to the house itself. It is a property that balances exposure and outlook with enclosure and comfort in a way that is difficult to achieve in open countryside locations.Although the windmill forms the visual centrepiece, the principal living accommodation sits within the adjoining brick-built house constructed in 1997 and designed to work as a practical family home. The two structures connect at ground floor level and again externally at first floor via balconies, allowing them either to operate as a single integrated residence or as two clearly defined but related living environments.Inside the house the arrangement is generous and adaptable, with four reception rooms providing a range of settings for daily life. The kitchen and informal sitting area form the natural centre of activity and benefit from morning light through recently installed powder coated aluminium windows and doors. These were replaced throughout the house in 2023 and bring both improved performance and reduced maintenance requirements. The kitchen itself has been extended in its layout since the present owner’s arrival and now works as a sociable everyday space as well as a practical working environment, with underfloor heating continuing through the adjoining snug area.Beyond this core living space there is a separate ground floor sitting room currently arranged as a television room, together with a further reception room used as a study capable of accommodating multiple workstations. A gym positioned adjacent to the integral garage adds another practical and versatile element to the ground floor layout. A particularly striking feature of the house is the large first floor sitting room which opens onto balconies through full height glazed doors and takes full advantage of the long southerly views across the valley. This elevated reception space gives the house an additional dimension and allows the landscape setting to become part of the experience of living here.Across the upper floor the bedroom accommodation is arranged around a principal suite and guest suite each with their own en suite facilities, together with two further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. The layout provides a balance between privacy and connection that works equally well for family occupation or visiting guests.Adjoining the house, the four-storey windmill provides a second independent living environment that significantly extends the flexibility of the property. Dating originally from the eighteenth century and rebuilt from the ground up in 1968 as a reconstruction of the earlier windmill, the structure remains one of the defining features of the local skyline. Although its internal milling machinery was removed when it was converted to residential use, the windmill retains its distinctive external form complete with sails, which are maintained and rotated periodically to ensure their long-term stability.Arranged as a self-contained two-bedroom cottage, the windmill has historically been used both as family accommodation and as a holiday let. More recently it has been made available selectively for short-term letting and continues to offer potential either as guest accommodation, income producing space or multigenerational living depending on requirements.A particularly distinctive feature of the windmill interior is the recently installed handmade kitchen which follows the natural curve of the structure itself and includes a curved central table designed specifically for the space. It reflects the unusual geometry of the building and reinforces the sense that this is a place shaped around its architecture rather than adapted to fit it.Outside, the grounds extend to approximately fifteen acres arranged in a ring-fenced block surrounding the house and windmill. Around six thousand native trees were planted by previous owners to create an arboretum style landscape that now forms an established framework of shelter belts, orchard planting and specimen trees across the holding. Within this setting the immediate gardens around the house include an extensive timber decked entertaining terrace connected directly to the dining room and designed as a principal outdoor social space overlooking the gardens, together with a circular sunken garden planted with fruit trees and soft fruit and a productive vegetable garden that continues to be actively cultivated.Beyond the formal gardens the land opens into pasture divided into dedicated paddocks which have been significantly enhanced during the present ownership. Three paddocks now provide structured grazing rotation and are equipped with independent water supplies and electric fencing, supported by a professionally constructed outdoor manège measuring approximately 22 x 40 metres and installed with full drainage. Additional stable buildings have also been introduced so that the existing block now includes multiple stables together with tack and storage space. A separate access track has been formed to the rear stable yard allowing practical movement of horses and equipment without affecting the domestic garden setting. In addition to the principal approach drive, two further access points are available directly from adopted roads, providing useful alternative entry to the land and equestrian areas.Together these improvements mean the land now supports genuine equestrian use rather than simply providing additional acreage. There is also flexibility within the current arrangements for the stables and grazing to be let independently if desired, creating potential for either shared use or supplementary income.At the eastern side of the holding the front meadow is managed as a wildflower area and cut periodically for hay, maintaining its ecological character while ensuring it remains productive. To the west lies a further two acre woodland area which adds variety and shelter to the landscape and contributes to the overall sense of scale and privacy across the property.Energy performance has also been addressed through the installation of photovoltaic panels together with battery storage systems, helping to reduce reliance on grid electricity and supporting efficient day to day running of the house. An electric vehicle charging point is also installed.Despite its rural character the location remains well connected. Morcott and Barrowden both offer active village communities with local amenities including shop, surgery and public house, while the market towns of Uppingham, Oakham and Stamford provide a wider range of schooling, shopping and cultural facilities within easy reach. Road links via the A47, A43 and A1 connect efficiently to the regional network and rail services from Peterborough offer journey times to London Kings Cross from around forty five minutes.Rutland Water lies nearby to the north and provides opportunities for sailing, walking and cycling, reinforcing the strong relationship between the property and its wider landscape setting.Taken as a whole, The Windmill offers a combination that is rarely available within a single holding. The presence of a landmark historic structure, a substantial and adaptable modern house, established equestrian infrastructure and around fifteen acres of landscaped grounds creates a property capable of supporting a wide range of lifestyles. Whether used primarily as a family house with guest accommodation, a multigenerational home, an equestrian base or a combination of all three, it is a setting that balances individuality with practicality and visibility with privacy in equal measure. Disclaimer:These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.
