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.

THE NEW HOUSE Commanding an enviable elevated position above the sought-after village of Eaton, this exceptional country home enjoys far-reaching, panoramic views across the village rooftops and the rolling expanse of the Leicestershire Wolds. Opportunities of this calibre are seldom available; a home where architectural excellence and an awe-inspiring setting combine to create something truly extraordinary. THE PROPERTY An outstanding conversion of a former agricultural barn, this remarkable country home presents a seamless fusion of contemporary design and rural character. Thoughtfully reimagined with sustainability at its core, the property showcases cutting-edge features alongside exquisite craftsmanship and refined finishes throughout. Beyond the entrance, an impressive interior unfolds, revealing a striking ‘grand design’ aesthetic. Expansive glazing frames breathtaking vistas, while a series of fluid living spaces offer both versatility and scale—equally suited to open-plan living or more defined, intimate arrangements depending on individual preference. Extending to approximately 3,700 sq. ft. (GIFA), the accommodation is both generous and adaptable, comprising five beautifully appointed bedrooms. The home perfectly encapsulates modern architectural elegance within a tranquil countryside setting. ACCOMMODATION The ground floor is centred around a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and day room—an exceptional space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A separate principal sitting room provides a more formal retreat, while a magnificent galleried hallway creates a striking focal point. Two ground floor bedrooms share a well-appointed ‘Jack and Jill’ en-suite shower room, complemented by a guest cloakroom and a practical utility room. To the first floor, a galleried landing leads to three further bedrooms and two impeccably finished bathrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a luxurious en-suite bathroom, a dedicated dressing room (with potential to serve as a sixth bedroom), and a Juliet balcony that perfectly frames the captivating countryside views. OUTSIDE The property is surrounded landscaped gardens, thoughtfully designed to provide year-round interest and to maximise enjoyment of the surrounding scenery. Generous terraces offer ideal spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation, all set against a backdrop of uninterrupted rural views. Electric gates give access to a spacious parking courtyard, leading to a detached triple garage complete with EV charging point. LOCATION Eaton is a quiet and sought-after village, some 8 miles from Melton Mowbray, 10 miles from Grantham and equidistant between the main regional centres of Leicester and Nottingham. Bottesford, which lies to the north, is the largest village in the Vale of Belvoir and is served by a rail system on the Nottingham - Grantham line, Grantham also having a mainline railway station with access to London Kings Cross in just over an hour. Peaceful rural living, yet strategically convenient for a busy professional lifestyle. The nearest village pub and shop/post office is 2 miles to the south in Waltham on the Wolds.

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.

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.

Old Barn Principally accessed externally from within the drive archway where double opening doors lead into a fabulous room, an original barn it its own right exposed to the full two storeys with the exposed timber cruck frame and purlins, high level gable/apex glazing, exposed brick and stonework to the walls, brick-built fireplace and chimney breast, partly tiled and partly carpeted floor. Three double radiators, built-in corner seating around lower level cupboards and a staircase to the previously noted mezzanine floor itself a generous multi-purpose space with built-in cupboards and Velux window and having its connecting door to bedroom three. Outside The property is discreetly positioned away from the main road behind the first line of road fronting properties and effectively having its principal frontage looking to the rear over the adjoining farmlands towards Cropston and beyond to Old John and Bradgate Park in the distance. Driving by, the property is easily missed and only accessed through its own brick pillared and wrought iron gated boulder stoned driveway which becomes a tumbled stone drive passing under the archway of the barn and leading to the rear where there is extensive parking and turning point. To either side of the driveway are areas of shaped lawn, paved pathway and sun terrace, planted flower bed and wrought iron coach lights. There is an outside cold-water tap and a timber garden shed with power and out of sight additional storage and an additional wood store. Local Authority Charnwood Borough Council. Tenure Freehold.

Directions From the crossroads at the centre of Thurcaston village take Anstey Lane in a westerly direction.
