Lyndon Road, Manton, Rutland

Barn Owl House, originally built in the 1800s, is a beautifully converted four-bedroom barn offering spacious and versatile accommodation set within a substantial six-acre plot enjoying some of the most breathtaking views over Rutland Water.

Ground Floor - Enter the property through an entrance hall, featuring exposed stonework, a downstairs cloakroom, and doors leading to the rest of the accommodation. The spacious sitting room, complete with a feature fireplace, windows overlooking the courtyard, and expansive glazed sliding doors that open onto the garden—framing breathtaking, uninterrupted views over Rutland Water.

Beyond the sitting room lies the breakfast kitchen, which is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall-mounted and floor-standing units. There is space for an American-style fridge freezer, a Belfast sink, and an oil-fired AGA. Glazed French doors open into the central courtyard, while a separate cupboard houses the oil-fired central heating boiler and pressurised hot water tank.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room also enjoys panoramic views through large, glazed sliding doors, creating a seamless connection with the garden and Rutland Water beyond.

The ground floor further comprises two generously sized double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, en-suite shower rooms, and French doors opening into the central courtyard.
On the opposite side of the courtyard sits a beautifully appointed guest suite, featuring a large double bedroom, a dressing area, and an en-suite shower room.

Practical elements are well-considered, with a separate utility room offering space and plumbing for white goods, and an adjoining boot room accessed directly from the courtyard.

First Floor - A staircase rises from the sitting room to the master suite, which includes a spacious double bedroom, a dressing room with extensive built-in storage, and an en-suite bathroom. The bedroom is a true retreat, enhanced by extensive glazing that captures sweeping views across the garden, land, and Rutland Water beyond.

Outside - The property is accessed via wrought iron electric gates, opening onto a generous gravelled driveway with a central turning circle. Additional outbuildings include a triple open-fronted garage and a large shed providing ample workshop and storage space.

Set within approximately six acres, the land immediately surrounding the home forms beautifully maintained formal gardens, enriched by mature floral borders, established specimen trees, and year-round interest. The U-shaped barn conversion embraces a central courtyard, accessible from most of the ground floor rooms, offering a sheltered and private space ideal for outdoor entertaining.

The majority of the garden lies to the rear of the property, gently sloping toward Rutland Water. This area is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature trees and hedging, with a clear divide between the garden and the paddock below.

This unique barn conversion offers a rare opportunity to own a home with some of the most stunning vistas over Rutland Water available in the area. Combining exceptional views, versatile living space, and an idyllic rural setting, this is a property that truly must be seen to be fully appreciated.
