Seller Insight The moment we first drove through the gates of Rowan House, we knew we had found something extraordinary. The sense of space, privacy and quality was unlike anything else we had seen. Set within almost an acre of beautifully established gated grounds, the property felt both impressive and wonderfully peaceful. As we stepped inside, the magnificent, curved staircase immediately drew our attention, setting the tone for a home where thoughtful design and exceptional craftsmanship can be found at every turn. What captivated us most was that Rowan House never felt like a standard executive property. The limestone and cherry wood floors, the bespoke curved walls, the stunning principal suite with its incredible dressing room and private balcony, the cinema room, reading snug and generous entertaining spaces all combine to create a home with real personality and presence. We have invested significantly during our ownership, creating a spectacular outdoor kitchen and entertaining area complete with bar, fire pit and seating, as well as extending the pond into the beautiful koi feature that has become the heart of the garden. Watching the koi glide through the water from the living room, terrace or kitchen is endlessly calming and one of the things we will miss most. The house has been the backdrop to countless celebrations with family and friends. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space flows effortlessly onto the terraces through bifold doors, making indoor and outdoor entertaining feel seamless. The cinema room, complete with its wood-burning stove, has hosted everything from family movie nights to major sporting occasions, while the games room in the annexe has provided the perfect space for guests of all ages. Our favourite place is undoubtedly the principal suite. Enjoying a quiet coffee and fresh pastries on the balcony while overlooking the gardens on a Sunday morning feels wonderfully peaceful. The dressing room is a dream, and the luxurious en-suite creates a true retreat from the rest of the world. Rowan House has given us everything: space to entertain, space to work, space to relax and space to grow as a family. With excellent schools nearby, strong transport links and a welcoming village community, it has been an exceptional place to call home. Leaving will be incredibly difficult, but we hope the next owners will love it as much as we have.

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.

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.

Approached through impressive wrought iron electric gates and along a long, sweeping driveway, the house reveals itself amid an extraordinary landscape of mature woodland, meadows and meticulously maintained gardens. From its elevated position overlooking the charming village of Wistow, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, with spectacular sunsets providing a fitting end to the day. The grounds are undoubtedly one of the property's defining features. Thoughtfully designed and immaculately maintained, they offer an extraordinary variety of landscapes and spaces to explore, including a beautiful arboretum, established orchard, ornamental duck pond, perennial flower gardens, productive fruit and vegetable gardens, apiary, aviary, woodland, meadows and an extensive network of pathways. Paddocks, stables, barns and immaculate dog kennels further enhance the property's appeal, providing superb facilities for those seeking an equestrian, canine or smallholding lifestyle. The house itself offers generous and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, combining traditional country-house character with modern comfort. A series of distinct reception rooms provides flexibility for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life, while the impressive open-plan kitchen, living and dining space forms the natural heart of the home. Designed for contemporary country living, this substantial room provides an exceptional setting for everyday family life, entertaining and enjoying the ever-changing views across the grounds. Additional ground-floor accommodation includes a utility room, shower room, WC and private office, together with a separate dining room, elegant drawing room and conservatory. The combination of reception spaces allows the property to adapt effortlessly to both intimate occasions and larger gatherings. On the first floor are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including two with en-suite facilities, together with a family bathroom. The bedrooms provide peaceful private spaces from which to enjoy the rural setting, while the overall arrangement makes the house equally well suited to family occupation, entertaining and hosting guests. Externally, the property continues to impress. A substantial triple garage provides secure garaging and valuable storage, complemented by the property's extensive barns and ancillary buildings. Solar panels with battery storage further enhance the estate's modern credentials, contributing to its energy efficiency while complementing the self-sufficient character of the property. The extensive grounds create an almost private world of their own, offering opportunities for leisurely walks, gardening, keeping animals, entertaining outdoors or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of the countryside. Whether strolling through the arboretum, tending the productive gardens, watching wildlife beside the duck pond or relaxing on one of the property's patio areas as the sun sets over the farmland, Pointers is a home designed to be experienced as much as admired. Rarely does a property offer such a compelling combination of beautifully presented accommodation, exceptional grounds and extensive lifestyle facilities. Pointers is more than a country home; it is a complete rural retreat, offering privacy, tranquillity, space and an enviable connection with the landscape. For those seeking an exceptional country lifestyle, this is a property with the space, setting and facilities to make that aspiration a reality. Seller Insight There is a particular feeling you get when you realise you have found somewhere that could become entirely your own. For us, that was Pointers. We arrived to find a house with no immediate neighbours and 15 acres of land around it and immediately saw the possibilities. It was a blank canvas, somewhere we could create an easily maintained, natural refuge for wildlife, while making a home for ourselves and our dogs. I grew up in the countryside and, as a child, learnt to notice and appreciate nature and animals. That connection has always stayed with me, and at Pointers we have been able to create the kind of environment we love. Every tree, hedge, pond, paddock and walkway has been planned and planted by us, with the aim of making the land beautiful while encouraging as much wildlife as possible. What was once a bare stubble field has become a rich and varied habitat, with small woods threaded by paths and rides. The ponds have become a particularly special part of the landscape. There are two: a formal, fenced pond close to the house, complete with a waterfall and ornamental ducks, and a much larger flight pond towards the southern end of the property, which attracts an abundance of wildfowl. Visiting ducks and geese regularly nest on the island in the middle of the pond, adding to the feeling that the wildlife here is very much part of everyday life. There is something new to discover every day. We have an outstanding variety of butterflies and moths, as well as dragonflies, slow worms, grass snakes, foxes, badgers and deer. The birdlife is particularly wonderful, with swallows, barn owls, raptors, game birds and countless other species making use of the land. Quiet evening walks often bring the chance to see deer moving through the paddocks, while the ponds provide a constant source of activity and birdsong. We are passionate about pointing dogs, so having space to train them was another important part of creating Pointers. The paddocks have also provided a wonderfully useful setting for sheep, horses and ponies, and have even been borrowed by a local farmer for cows and calves. Over time, the land has become home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife and mammal species, while still remaining a practical and enjoyable part of the way we live. The house itself has more than doubled in size since we bought it, evolving alongside the landscape. It has become a spacious and comfortable family home, with generous reception rooms, a large kitchen and living area overlooking the surrounding farmland, and bedrooms enjoying views across the gardens, paddocks and countryside. Sitting slightly elevated on a natural rise, Pointers enjoys an amazing open outlook, with views extending well beyond the property's own land across the surrounding farmland and countryside. The elevated position means these far-reaching views can be enjoyed from both the ground and first floors, adding to the wonderful sense of space and seclusion. There are plenty of practical spaces too, including the garages, workshop, utility, stables and purpose-built kennels, which have all made the property work beautifully for the way we have lived here. Looking back, we feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to take a neglected property and create not simply a home, but a whole environment, one that continues to surprise and delight us with its wildlife, peace and sense of connection to nature.

Built in 1580, it is one of those exceptionally rare homes that feels extraordinary at first glance: rich in history, full of character and imbued with a warmth that cannot be manufactured. Despite its distinguished heritage, it has always felt wonderfully easy to live in. Behind its handsome façade lies a private sanctuary where the outside world melts away and the peaceful garden feels a million miles from everyday life. What truly set Bell House apart for us was this remarkable combination of tranquillity and convenience. Within minutes, we could reach the A1, the A14 and Huntingdon station, making connections effortless without compromising the calm of village life. Over the years, we have carefully enhanced the house with enormous respect for its heritage. The roof has been completely renewed, original wooden floors and pamment tiles lovingly restored, fireplaces reopened and a former cowshed transformed into a beautifully appointed guest suite. Every improvement has been guided by longevity, comfort and a desire to preserve the soul of the house. The interior were thoughtfully designed by well-known interior designers Joanne Lindsay and Jane Keisner. Bell House has witnessed the happiest chapters of our family life. Our children spent carefree summers picking fruit from the garden, sleeping in the treehouse, racing along a zip wire through the orchard and cycling through the village ford. The garden itself is magical: sun-filled from morning until dusk, with magnificent sunsets and spaces equally suited to quiet reflection or lively gatherings. Entertaining here has always been effortless. Intimate candlelit dinners have stretched long into the night, while fundraising events and celebrations for over a hundred guests have flowed seamlessly through the four reception rooms. Yet, when the house is quiet, our favourite retreat remains the principal bedroom and dressing room: indulgent, comforting and utterly peaceful. “Bell House doesn’t seek to impress; it charms everyone who walks through the door.” offering history, warmth and a setting in which memories are made and treasured for generations.

Occupying a wonderfully private position within a secluded enclave of just three properties, Oak Barn is an impressive family home surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens and enjoying far-reaching views across the open Cambridgeshire countryside. Situated in the charming village of Old Hurst, to the north-east of Huntingdon, the property offers an appealing combination of generous and versatile accommodation, attractive outside space and a peaceful rural setting, whilst remaining conveniently placed for the amenities of both Huntingdon and St Ives. The house opens into a spacious reception hall, with a glazed wall providing an immediate connection to the garden room and the gardens beyond. There are two well-proportioned reception rooms, together with a dedicated study, cloakroom and useful utility room. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with bespoke-style solid oak cabinetry, granite work surfaces and ample space for informal family dining. On the first floor are four generously proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite shower rooms, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom. The accommodation provides excellent flexibility for modern family life, with the additional study and outbuildings offering superb opportunities for home working, hobbies or ancillary use. Outside, the property is enveloped by beautifully maintained gardens, laid predominantly to lawn and complemented by established planting. The gardens extend around the house and open out towards wonderful views over the surrounding countryside and a small paddock, creating a particularly tranquil and private setting. A range of useful outbuildings further enhance the property, including a garage, log store and workshop, together with a separate office with its own WC. There is also generous off-street parking, making Oak Barn particularly well suited to family life and those requiring space for home working or recreational pursuits. Old Hurst is an attractive and characterful Cambridgeshire village with a strong sense of community. Village life centres around the church, which hosts a variety of activities including coffee mornings, singing and craft groups. The village's original red telephone box has also been given a new lease of life as a popular book exchange. A particular local attraction is Johnsons of Old Hurst, a renowned farm shop and butchers, complete with a steakhouse restaurant and tea room serving locally sourced produce. Families are well catered for too, with a children's play area, farm walk and an eclectic collection of rare-breed animals. For everyday amenities, the market town of Huntingdon is approximately a 15-minute drive away and provides an extensive selection of supermarkets, shops, restaurants and public houses. Seller Insight The connection between the house and its surroundings has always been important to us. We added bi-fold doors to both the sitting room and dining room, bringing in more light and opening the principal living spaces directly onto the garden and the landscape beyond. The south-facing garden has been designed to be attractive but relatively easy to maintain. We replaced the patios, introduced raised beds and added a substantial gazebo, which has effectively created an additional living space. Furnished with sofas, a television and fridge, it allows us to spend much of the day outside while remaining sheltered from the strongest sun. Inside, the kitchen-diner is the room we use most. The large central island makes it a very sociable space, while the addition of a sofa means it works equally well for cooking, dining or simply sitting together. It has been particularly well suited to having our adult children and grandchildren to stay, with enough space for everyone to gather comfortably. Old Hurst itself has been an equally important part of our enjoyment of the house. It is a small, friendly village where we have made some very good friends, and Johnsons of Old Hurst with its farm shop, steakhouse, tearoom and zoo, is only a couple of minutes’ walk away. What we will miss most, however, is the setting. There is something quite special about looking out over uninterrupted fields and countryside while still feeling entirely private. It is that combination of expansive views, peace and seclusion that has made Oak Barn such an enjoyable place to live. Village Information Old Hurst is a small village lying approx. 5 miles from the market towns of Huntingdon and St Ives which offer a variety of high street and local independent stores, bars and restaurants, supermarkets and a wide range of sports and leisure activities. Within the village is the pretty parish church of St Peters which dates from the 13th century and is Grade II* listed. Johnsons of Old Hurst is a popular farm shop with coffee shop, woodland walks, farmyard animals and zoological gardens/tropical house; ideal for family outings. Although there are no schools within the village there is a good selection of well-regarded primary schools in the nearby villages of Warboys, Wyton-on-the-Hill and Houghton to name a few and well-regarded secondary schools in St Ives, Huntingdon and Ramsey. There are also regular bus services to Huntingdon and St Ives.

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.

Seller Insight Built in the mid-1500s, The Old Cottage and surrounding land was once owned by renowned artist, Walter Dendy Sadler, and has featured in some of his paintings. He designed the gardens himself which, to this day, retain the same infrastructure in the flowerbeds and trees. We stood in the garden and were struck by the beauty, and it was this, along with the characterful, large rooms and sense of history that all came together and simply blew us away, recall the owners. The location was also very appealing as transport links are excellent. The setting is truly idyllic with unsurpassed views of the river, meadows, garden, churchyard, and church tower. Lake Ashmore, in the village, is perfect for open swimming. The village has lots going on and it's a great place for people of all ages to enjoy everything it has to offer, including the annual regatta where our sons earned their rowing skills and a love of the water for which we will be forever grateful. Just take a step out of the front door or through the garden gate and you will find yourself immersed in nature. From our garden gate we can access the river to drop ourselves in for a quick dip or canoe. The garden is secluded and not overlooked, so it lends itself to entertaining and we have naturally become the 'go to' place for work parties and gatherings with family and friends. The jasmine-covered pergola is a wonderful feature and we're surrounded by the divine scent whilst dining or relaxing in the swing chair. The addition of the breakfast room has been quite transformative in how we have lived in the house and it has been much loved by all. Panoramic views of the garden, trees, and length of the beautiful old part of the property provide a scenic backdrop for a room where we can sit and be at one with the scenery. We tend to gravitate towards the older part of the house as it has a very special ambience and characterful features, such as the double-sided inglenook. We've celebrated christenings and birthdays here, as well as our annual Christmas party when the dining room setting comes into its own. There are many serene spots in the house where we sit and lose ourselves in the peace and views of nature which are interrupted only by the occasional barge passing quietly by.
