BURLEY, OAKHAM, RUTLAND
£2,800,000
The Pavilion is a superb country home set in a wonderful rural location with views over lovely Rutland countryside. Built using a mix of local Clipsham stone, handmade brick and Welsh slate, a key feature of the property’s design are the walls of bi-fold glass doors opening onto sunny terraces, and the result is an airy, light-filled home which seamlessly blends interior and garden spaces. At the heart of the stunning interior is a vast open-plan living space with high vaulted ceilings, impressive roof beams and solid-wood floors and particular highlights include the stunning bespoke kitchen with state-of-the art appliances, the light-filled Pool Room and a luxurious three-level Master Bedroom Suite. The property also benefits from high specification systems such as zoned Smarthouse lighting, under-floor heating and an integrated sound system, whilst the bathrooms have been individually designed and fitted by Porcelanosa. The Pavilion combines striking contemporary design, excellent entertaining space and extensive and flexible accommodation and, with its superb Rutland location, it makes an impressive country home.
WITTERING, CAMBRIDGESHIRE £999,995 Tucked away from the road along a leafy tree-lined driveway, The Manor has an extremely secluded location surrounded by its two acres of mature gardens and woodland on the edge of the village of Wittering. Within walking distance of the village shop it also has easy access to the countryside and walks that surround the area and is bordered on two sides by open fields. The property itself is a handsome Georgian manor house built in the late 1700’s using the area’s distinctive mellow-coloured stone with a slate roof. The pretty, wisteria-draped bay frontage was added at a later stage and, more recently, the property has been extended at the back to create a stunning kitchen & breakfast room with a master bedroom suite above. The house retains many period features typical of the elegance of the Georgian era, such as high ceilings, deep skirting boards, fireplaces with open fires and original casement shutters. A particular feature are the many deep-set sash-windows which flood the whole house with natural light as well as having lovely views over the gardens, and which have recently been replaced in the authentic style. A mix of formal reception space, extensive accommodation and practical, every-day areas make the Manor an elegant and welcoming home with the benefit of proximity to Stamford.
