The charming little village of Manton close to the southern shores of Rutland Water, is strewn with listed buildings, in the heart of which is the magnificent Old Hall graced with a fine early eighteenth century façade but dating back to 1688, as stated on a rear gable. The three-storey stone residence and its adjoining outbuildings provide an extraordinary amount of accommodation all presented in immaculate order, sumptuously decorated to the highest of standards with impeccable attention to detail. In a quiet and private position nestling between neighbours but shielded by mature trees, the walled gardens are verdant, sunny sanctuaries including an impressive summerhouse overlooking a heated outdoor pool.All the reception rooms are of fine proportions: an impressively large but welcoming reception hall, a drawing room with original panelling, a dining room with mahogany panelling fitted approximately 18 years ago by members of the Guild of Master Craftsmen, a generous snug past which is a glamorously fitted kitchen that leads directly into the beautiful garden room. Beyond this, all with extraordinarily high ceilings, a large utility room takes you on into a games room, a print room housing a spiral staircase and a study at the far end benefitting an almost entire wall of glazing over the garden. Further rooms above reached up the spiral staircase are currently used as a gym and another office providing versatile spaces for whatever your needs.The main staircase and the back staircase both rise to the first and second floors. The first floor contains five generous double bedrooms, two en suite, one lined with original panelling, and a family bathroom. The second floor offers a number of rooms that are used as storage but could be refurbished to create five further double bedrooms plus a bathroom and there is another large room at the top of the back stairs.The masterfully landscaped garden is very sheltered and private within high stone walls. Set out on split levels that encompass the house, it gives an appealing mix of formality combined with soft plantings. A fitting Italianate style pervades the front where the symmetric fine stone façade clad in wisteria stands behind the gravelled entrance bordered by tall cypress columns, palms and fig trees. On the south side of the house, an iron gate opens into a charming brick-paved garden in dappled shade with an octagonal summerhouse at the sunny, gravelled far end. Steps lead down into the garden room where more French doors opposite open into the main part of the garden. Here, a large lawn bearing some magnificent mature trees stretches down to the pool area where an oval gazebo provides shade in this particularly sunny corner and an olive and a cloud tree are striking features. A decorative ironwork pergola supports abundant pretty climbers down the side of the property leading to a tiered fountain at the end. On a higher level, a timber pergola-covered walkway curves round the top of a retaining wall delineating the vegetable garden with its geometric-shaped interlocking beds. A recently built garage is to the rear of the property behind the swimming pool and is accessed down a separate driveway, through automatic timber gates and entered through electrically operated doors. A useful shower, WC and sauna at the back of the building are conveniently close to the pool area. 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.

Tucked away along a quiet lane in the small, highly regarded village of Stockerston, Firs Farm is a hidden gem – a beautiful barn conversion offering peace, privacy and endless potential, all set within approximately 1.7 acres of gardens and paddock land (subject to measured survey). With protected countryside views, flexible living accommodation and a wonderful sense of history, it is a rare opportunity to acquire a property that offers both a charming country lifestyle and excellent proximity to Uppingham and the wider amenities of the area.The house itself forms part of what was once a traditional working dairy farm, originally dating back at least 250 years. In the mid-1980s, the barns were sensitively converted by a developer, preserving the authenticity of the buildings while creating a welcoming and liveable home. The layout of the property is centred around a charming central south facing courtyard with a water feature, providing a beautiful outlook from several rooms and a calming heart to the home. The main reception room is a lovely space, enjoying dual aspects and views towards the garden, while the kitchen and dining room sit adjacent, offering practical and sociable spaces with doors that flow naturally to the courtyard outside.

Two further bedrooms are located nearby, both doubles, one en-suite the other with a dedicated shower room, providing flexibility for family living or guest accommodation. Additionally, there are three further rooms currently used as studies but easily adaptable to further bedrooms if desired. This adaptability is reflected across the property, which could readily evolve to suit the changing needs of a growing family, those seeking multi-generational living, or simply purchasers requiring ample room to work from home.One of the highlights of Firs Farm is the wing of the house containing the beautiful garden room – once the old dairy building – a stunning space with exposed original beams and feature windows, a real connection to the property’s agricultural past. Externally, Firs Farm continues to impress. The grounds, extending to approximately 1.7 acres (subject to measured survey), include a formal lawned garden dotted with mature trees, borders and shrubs, established fruit trees, a large enclosed paddock with its own entrance off Church Lane and the central courtyard. There is a stable block offering three stables with an attached large car port and barns to the rear. An attached garage providing secure parking and additional storage. Over the years, the land has been used in a variety of ways, including grazing for sheep and ponies, and it would lend itself beautifully to small-scale/hobby equestrian use or simple enjoyment as part of a country lifestyle.The setting is truly idyllic. The paddock enjoys wonderful views across open fields towards Stockerston Hall and the property is remarkably private, hidden from view and approached via a long curving old farm driveway, offering a sense of seclusion that is increasingly rare to find.* The below plan is indicative only and illustrates an alternative layout, subject to planning permission. 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.

St Peters Church is located in an enviable position in the centre of this sought after hamlet with strong links to the local community and neighbouring Boughton House. The churchyard sits under the Diocese of Peterborough’s ownership, with right of access given along the pathways in order to reach the property. There’s a two-car parking area occupants of St Peters may use. Being Grade II* listed, the evolution from place of worship to a place to call home wasn’t easy. The biggest challenge came when laying the new limestone floors, raised over the original flagstones. Underfloor heating and insulation are installed beneath the slate, there are damp-proofing measures defending the property, and two boilers serve the home, in four zones. As for features, the list is extensive, and some such as the Archer which sits proudly in the main entrance hall pre-date the building itself. Throughout this stunning home there are grand arches and small alcoves, stained glass windows and a medieval mural, there are also many monuments, including one of a praying William Montagu and a phenomenal Montagu tomb. The font and the pulpit are positioned in the main living space, angel corbels watch over the primary bedroom, and there are interesting light fittings made from bell ropes and wheels.As well as retaining every feature that could be resurrected or conserved, the general layout of the property has remained much as it was when the current owners purchased it. Newly fitted oak panelled partitions separate the spaces, with glazing above doorways to allow light to penetrate. The gallery is also a newer addition, and this is perfect for unwinding with a book, or simply appreciating all the character seen from this spot.The nave is now the heart of the home with a spectacular vaulted ceiling, with the kitchen one side and living areas opposite. For such a vast, voluminous space, it’s surprisingly homely, and would work very well for both everyday family life and entertaining friends. The kitchen is the most modern area, fitted with a range of bespoke navy-blue cabinets, chestnut worktops, and an island with stone surfacing. It’s well equipped, with a double ceramic butler sink and either freestanding or integrated appliances (appliances available by separate negotiation). The utility at the base of the bell tower matches the kitchen, and here there’s a ceramic Belfast sink and more storage.The chancel is now the primary bedroom, with an elevated area that was once the altar, it also houses the two stunning Montagu monuments. Imagine waking up in surroundings as impressive as this. Bedrooms two and three run alongside the main living space, bedroom four is in the bell tower, and there are two further rooms as you travel up the spiral staircase to the top. The lower of these rooms is set up as an office, private and secluded for working away in peace.Both the primary bedroom and bedroom four have an en suite, bedrooms two and three share a Jack & Jill bathroom, and there’s a convenient cloakroom on the ground floor too. The en suite above bedroom four has a Hudson Reed shower, while the primary en suite and the Jack & Jill bathroom feature William Holland copper tubs, testament to the quality fixtures and fittings throughout the home. Relaxing in a bubble-filled bath with a chalice of wine here would be heavenlyLittle Oakley is a hamlet of only a handful of homes. St Peters Church occupies a central, elevated and commanding position, and from the roof of the nave, you can see across Northamptonshire countryside and over to Boughton Woods. Within walking distance of the church is a pre-school rated Outstanding by Ofsted, The Boxing Shed, and The Hut, where locals often converge for events, sports and socialising.Neighbouring Geddington is larger, with a lively community, and amenities such as a café, a Post Office, a pub, a primary school and a nursery. The River Ise runs through Geddington for waterside wanders, and for the active, there are sports clubs here too. Whatever your interests, it’s likely Geddington has it covered with a class or club. Family days out are abundant in the local area, with destinations including Wicksteed Park, Fineshade Wood and Deene Park each offering something fun for weekends and school holidays.Corby and Kettering town centres supply an even wider choice of facilities, activities and schools, all within just a short drive of Little Oakley. For commuting, Corby station may be nearer to the property by a few minutes, but Kettering station provides rail services into the capital in as little as 46 minutes. You’ll praise the peace and quiet of Little Oakley as soon as you land back home, far away from the hustle and bustle of city life.Tenure – Freehold EPC - Energy performance certificate - ask agent Council Tax Band - Exempt - Grade II* Listed Council tax band: Not currently assigned Grade II* Listed - The property is Grade II* listed, denoting a building of particular architectural or historic interest, and alterations may require Listed Building Consent.

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.

Few properties exist that genuinely redefine what a home can be. Lakeside Lodge is one of them.A one-of-a-kind, four-bedroom barn conversion of extraordinary quality, set within approximately 1.72 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds in the peaceful rural hamlet of Shangton, Leicestershire. From the moment the electric gates open and the driveway unfolds before you, it becomes clear that this is something entirely exceptional — a home that seamlessly blends architectural character, natural beauty and refined contemporary living in a setting that simply cannot be replicated.The property offers a private lake, a magnificent large terrace, sweeping lawns, a commercially rated barn with workshop, a separate studio, two en-suites, a family bathroom and three generous reception rooms. Planning permission has furthermore been granted (Ref: 24/01159/FUL) for a fifth bedroom above the existing lounge — an exciting opportunity to further elevate this already outstanding residence.This is countryside living at its absolute finest.Accommodation The property is entered via a glazed door into a welcoming entrance hall with useful storage. To the right, the sitting room is a wonderfully comfortable space featuring a large bay window and French doors to the front elevation, framing stunning views across the lawns and lake. A feature fireplace with exposed brick surround, timber mantel and log burner inset creates a superb focal point.To the left of the entrance lies the impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space — a light-filled, statement room benefiting from two sets of bi-folding doors to the front elevation, skylights above and a glazed door off the kitchen to the rear courtyard garden. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, with fitted cupboards and drawers, granite worktops, a Belfast sink, an electric Range and a generous island unit providing further storage and a breakfast bar. There is space and plumbing for both a dishwasher and an American-style fridge freezer. Steps rise to the sitting area, which features a stunning vaulted ceiling with exposed King Trusses and a magnificent Inglenook fireplace with exposed brickwork, timber mantel and log burner inset. A good-sized storage cupboard is also found off this area.Steps lead from the sitting area into an inner hallway giving access to the bedroom accommodation.

The approved plans (Drawing No: SE/1545/2b) show a first floor bedroom with grey finish double glazed doors and a Juliet balcony to the front elevation, enjoying what will be an outstanding elevated view over the front gardens, sweeping lawns and private lake — a truly special addition to an already remarkable home. Prospective purchasers should refer to the approved planning drawings for full specification details.The Grounds — An Outdoor Setting Like No Other The exterior of Lakeside Lodge is every bit as impressive as the interior. A magnificent large porcelain patio terrace sweeps across the front of the property — a premium outdoor entertaining space on a grand scale, beautifully finished with multi-level steps, natural stone raised beds, specimen planting and integrated lighting. The terrace connects directly to the bi-folding doors of the main reception space, creating a seamless flow between inside and out that is perfect for entertaining, al fresco dining or simply enjoying the remarkable surroundings.Beyond the terrace, generous sweeping lawns stretch between the house and the lake — a wonderful expanse of open green space that adds to the sense of scale and freedom that defines this remarkable property, and provides an idyllic setting for families and outdoor living throughout the seasons.The private lake is simply magical. Complete with a timber rope-railed walkway bridge leading to a charming central island platform, it is a living, breathing feature that attracts abundant wildlife and changes beautifully with every season. A lakeside decked area with sun loungers provides the perfect spot to sit back and absorb the extraordinary peace of this setting.To the rear, a private tiered courtyard garden has been thoughtfully designed including a greenhouse. A productive and beautiful space with complete seclusion and a sheltered sun trap.Parking is provided for four or more vehicles with ease, with a gravelled area adjacent to the barn and a separate block-paved driveway leading to the house.The outside areas are covered by Security cameras.The Studio / Office This separate outbuilding currently operating as an art studio measures approximately 19'1 x 10'8 (5.82m x 3.24m).

At the edge of Market Deeping, where the town gives way to open countryside and water meadows, Mill House rests quietly in a setting that feels timeless. This handsome Grade II listed Georgian home, dating from 1782, stands beside the old mill stream, its walls rising directly from the water in places. With approximately fifteen acres of land, a network of enchanting gardens, and a rich heritage as part of a historic corn mill, Mill House is a rare combination of elegance, privacy, and rural character.Once part of a working corn mill, remnants of that past remain in view. The flow of the mill stream remains central to the life of the property, winding beneath the patio by the house, that was the base of the original mill, and through the landscape. The property also includes the mill leat, an engineered channel that directs water through the old mill workings, and a mill pond that lies downstream, helping to regulate flow through the estate. The structure of the original weir is itself listed, forming a beautiful and integral part of the historic setting. Maintenance and ownership of the sluices that control water flow through the site is handled by the Environment Agency, providing peace of mind to owners. These sluices allow the water level to be finely adjusted as required, although day-to-day intervention is rarely necessary.The south facing rear of the house opens onto a broad, stone-flagged terrace that extends out over the stream. It offers a wonderful place to sit and hear the water flowing beneath. From here, the view stretches across the grounds towards the outbuildings, tree-lined paddocks, and meadows beyond. The constant sound of running water adds to the calm and contemplative atmosphere that defines this exceptional home.The gardens themselves are full of character. A large south-facing lawn stretches from the rear of the house, framed by mature trees and hedges. It gives way to more secluded spaces: secret gardens, quiet walkways, and even a treehouse. Water flows from the mill-stream in front of the house via a small stream and pond to the River Welland which is the southern border of the property.Throughout the gardens, the planting is mature and thoughtfully arranged, with wisteria softening the stone elevations of the house. Pockets of wild garden and long grass encourage biodiversity, and the land’s natural gravel base ensures that any seasonal surface water drains quickly and cleanly.Beyond the gardens, a number of traditional outbuildings offer potential for a wide variety of future uses. These include a glasshouse, an old dovecote, a large garage with pool room at one end, a log store, and another storage barn. One barn houses a snooker room on its upper level, reached via a spiral staircase. Subject to the necessary consents, many of these buildings would be ideal for conversion to annexe accommodation, home offices, or holiday lets. The presence of paddocks adds still more versatility to the estate. The owners used to have sheep grazing on this open land but it is currently used simply for hay production, which is baled and taken away by a local farmer once every year.A generously sized outdoor swimming pool is set into a quiet part of the garden, with a neat pool house alongside. Enclosed by mature planting and hidden from view, this space feels entirely private, perfect for relaxed summer days and entertaining.Inside, the house is arranged over three floors, its layout both generous and practical. The main entrance hall sets the tone with its flagstone floor. Brightness floods down from a glazed roof light above the staircase, illuminating the full height of the central core of the house. The staircase itself rises elegantly in a curve, linking the ground and first floor. To either side of the hall are well-proportioned reception rooms. The drawing room is a standout, with finely detailed cornicing, French windows opening onto the garden, and a handsome marble fireplace. The sitting room is equally impressive, featuring a substantial Clipsham stone fireplace with log burner, stone floor underfoot and a dual aspect that fills the room with natural light. Adjacent to this room is a formal dining room. Worth noting that all principal ground floor rooms benefit from working wooden shutters helping to retain the warmth in winter time and providing with extra level of security.Other ground floor rooms include a garden room that sits almost over the stream and a snug off the kitchen. The kitchen is well placed at the heart of the house, fitted in a classic shaker style and features a gas Aga. It has clear potential for updating in line with personal taste.The first floor houses three double bedrooms, two of which have en suite facilities, and a family bathroom. There is also a study on this floor, which could be a fourth bedroom or a dressing room for the principal bedroom, if required. The second floor – accessed through the secondary, servant’s staircase – contains two further bedrooms, one with an en suite and a smaller room that could be ideal for additional workspace or overflow accommodation. Throughout, the interiors are neutral and well maintained, and while some elements may feel traditional, the proportions and natural light give the house a calm, unpretentious character. With thoughtful redecoration, there is considerable opportunity to bring out the full potential of these rooms.The management of the waterways surrounding Mill House is straightforward and reassuring. The Environment Agency retains ownership and maintenance responsibility for the riverbed and its banks, as well as the sluices. They once annually attend to weed cutting and bank maintenance, ensuring the mill stream remains clear and attractive. The overspill weir upstream manages flood water automatically, diverting excess flow safely into the back stream. With an established maintenance relationship in place and a history of trouble-free ownership, buyers can feel confident in the ongoing stewardship of this beautiful setting.Mill House’s unique combination of natural water features also adds a subtle layer of security, with the property naturally bordered by watercourses. Access by strangers is effectively limited to the occasional passing canoeist, and the owners have even created a discreet retractable footbridge to maintain privacy on their side of the estate.Market Deeping is a thriving market town, known for its historic stone buildings and strong local community. It offers a good range of everyday amenities, including a Tesco, independent shops, schools, medical services, and sports clubs. The beautiful Georgian town of Stamford is about ten minutes away, and Peterborough, with its wide retail offering and direct rail services to London, is around fifteen minutes by car. Mill House is also well positioned for access to some of the area’s best-performing schools, including Stamford Endowed Schools, Bourne Grammar and The King’s School in Peterborough.  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 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.Village Information Glatton is a conservation village lying about 8 miles south-west of Peterborough and about 8 miles east of Oundle.
