ANNEXE

The annex, previously a tythe barn, is a fabulous asset which has been rented out for Airbnb in the past being completely self-contained, particularly in demand during events at Burghley such as the Horse Trials. “It has been a great place when friends and family have been staying and, lately, our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her independence living there!” say the owners. A spacious open plan, split-level living area is on the ground floor where the end beside the kitchen takes a dining table and where the stairs lead up to a beautiful, big bedroom with adjoining large dressing area that could be a study for instance, divided by open timberwork.The bathroom is on the ground floor off the kitchen, which is a bespoke Neptune kitchen, fitted with units with an integrated electric oven, hob and a butler sink.

The barn, adjoins the annex and sits on the roadside where automatic doors allow instant access. “We converted the barn into a proper garage, laying foundations, adding extra support and improving its look,” state the owners. “We even have planning permission to create a mezzanine level making the most of the huge space above. It could be a gym, a games room or a home office space, for example. ”

“The village is amazing with lots of things going on. Recently opened is a vineyard you can walk to on the edge of the village with a lovely wine bar and café, there’s also an award-winning pub with particularly good beer, and just a stone’s throw away is a gym and fitness centre which offers every class imaginable. We are in a central village location but it’s very private and has wonderful country walks from the doorstep with some beautiful woodlands to explore. Rutland Water is about 5 minutes’ away in the car or about a three-quarter of an hour walk. There’s very easy access to the A1 just a couple of minutes away but you can’t hear it at all, and of course Stamford is just beyond where our daughter went to school.”

The village has local amenities including a post office, pub, primary school, gym and church whilst the beautiful Georgian town of Stamford offers a variety of excellent shops, bars and restaurants, including the well-known coaching inn, The George Hotel. Nearby Burghley House hosts a number of events throughout the year and also has attractions such as the Sculpture Park, Gardens of Surprise and a golf course.The property is excellently placed for commuting with easy access to the A1 and rail connections from Stamford to the Midlands, Stansted and Birmingham Airport, whilst Peterborough is on the high speed direct line to London Kings Cross.The area is home to many private schools including Uppingham, Oakham, Oundle and Stamford plus an excellent range of state schools.There are many local walks close by and Rutland Water offers outdoor leisure activities including sailing, trout fishing and cycling.
