A superb opportunity to purchase a fine, stone built, country home in Rutland with about 30 acres of paddocks and parkland, and four separate properties within the grounds, all presented in excellent order having been converted from barns and modernised with no expense spared. Situated in a prime location with glorious views over the Welland Valley, to the west of historic Georgian Stamford and the A1 Great North Road, it provides excellent road and rail links to London and the rest of the country.

In a slightly elevated position, the very attractive, late 17th century, Grade II listed, Stamford stone house, with its Collyweston slate roof and wisteria clad facade, overlooks well-manicured formal gardens with far reaching views towards the lakes and hills beyond.

With particularly high ceilings, original internal Georgian features abound such as timber panelling, sash windows, archways, shutters, window seats, panelled doors and inglenook fireplaces. The stunning, triple aspect kitchen fitted with bespoke, classical-style units topped with granite and incorporating a four oven Aga, has a southwest aspect containing French doors onto an alfresco dining area.

Four sizeable reception rooms are positioned along the front and include a completely panelled sitting room with a large bay window and flagstone floor, another panelled dual aspect room, and a dining room with quarry tiled floor and impressive inglenook fireplace. Beyond a fourth reception room with an equally splendid inglenook fireplace and several utility rooms, a single-storey wing to the west has a double bedroom and very spacious triple aspect living room with French doors onto the courtyard opposite the kitchen. A ‘buttery’ with internal exposed stone walls has a quirky contemporary feature: a partially glazed ceiling to the bay of the bathroom upstairs. This and all the en suites are fully tiled, generous in size and ultra-modern. The commodious, dual aspect master bedroom enjoys both an en suite and a separate dressing room, whilst the expansive attic bedroom suite exudes character and originality.

The property has been a wonderful family home in the past but also a venue for private functions and as a successful boutique hotel. The stone barns and outbuildings, converted and fitted to high specification, have been providing an income as standalone rental properties and holiday lets, and could be further utilised for commercial business purposes (subject to planning).

With a great deal of acreage, Kilthorpe Grange would make an excellent equestrian property; already a stable block - comprising five loose boxes - in the grounds, it has plenty of scope for introducing further facilities. The land embodies paddocks, woodland, four lakes well stocked with a variety of fish, and garaging.
