Oakham Road, Hambleton, Oakham, Rutland, LE15

An immaculately presented, reconfigured and renovated home in the heart of the Conservation village of Hambleton village, on Rutland Water’s Peninsula.

Description

This beautiful south facing house has the desirable ‘Cotswold look’, with a pretty ironstone under stone Collyweston appearance and stone mullions housing bespoke bronze casement windows. The original period cottage has been subject to a complete renovation, which included reconfiguration and extension in 2020, to create this immaculately presented, contemporary family home, in the heart of one of Rutland’s most sought after locations.


The period external details contrast with a crisp, clean and contemporary interior, with a thoroughly modern flow and feel to the accommodation, coupled with high-end finishes. The layout has been designed to make the most of the property’s orientation and setting, with its sensational views over Rutland Water, as well as to the attractive St Andrew’s parish church, from the interior of the house.


Approached along a stone flagged pathway through the garden to the front door, within an attractive open fronted porch.


The front door opens into a beautiful, wide and inviting entrance hallway; perfect for receiving guests and generous in its proportions. It is flooded with natural light, drawn down the contemporary staircase’s stairwell, and, along with much of the ground floor, has a beautiful, underfloor-heated polished limestone floor.


The hallway opens to the right, to a spacious, 17’ sitting room, with a large south facing mullioned bay window, whist the sitting room is open, in turn, to the kitchen, through which’s exterior bi-folding doors there are lovely views of Rutland Water.


The sensational kitchen is perfectly placed to maximise the spectacular views, with a bank of exterior bi-folding doors that open to the rear garden’s stone flagged terrace. The kitchen is fitted with a fabulous suite, with extensive base unit storage, beneath marble worktops, and a wall of pantry cupboard, that incorporates integrated Siemens ovens, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and wine fridge appliances, which a vast marble topped island, with breakfast bar seating, incorporates a Bora induction hob, with ducted extractor, and a moulded sink with Quooker tap.


The clean lines of the kitchen contrast nicely with the vaulted, dual dining room, alongside, which is bathed in light from picture windows that overlook Rutland Water, as well as south facing windows to the front garden. With exposed ironstone walls and central chandelier lighting, this is a moder and contemporary space.


From the entrance hallway to the left, is a more intimate dual aspect living room, which is versatile and currently used as a work from home space. It would also be an excellent playroom, or TV room, for young children or teenagers seeking separation. With a beamed ceiling, the stone mullioned windows have attractive wooden shutters, which are replicated through most of the house.


Accessed from both the entrance hallway and the kitchen, a rear hall accesses a well-equipped utility room, the communications room and a ground floor shower room, whilst the hall also has secondary access doors to the outside parking, as well as to the rear garden terrace.


A contemporary floating oak staircase, with glazed balustrade, ascends to the first floor landing, which is spacious and bright, with windows that showcase elevated views of Rutland Water. The landing provides access to the four spacious double bedrooms and the beautifully appointed family shower room, and also has space for a work from home station, or a lovely reading area from which to sit and enjoy the views. The principal bedroom suite combines a 17’ bedroom, with Water views, a fully fitted dressing room and an opulent full-suite en suite bathroom, with both stand-alone bath and separate shower. Double bedrooms two, three and four all have attractive views of the Water or church, have fitted wardrobes and are well placed for the modern, well-appointed family shower room.


Outside: A wide electric gate opens to the driveway and parking and to the front an oversized garage. The driveway has space for parking for several vehicles, and incorporates a vehicle turntable to maximise the parking space, and to mitigate the homeowners’ need to ever reverse out of the property.


The south facing house sits within an attractive lawned front garden, with a mix of stone wall and wrought iron parkland fenced boundaries, planted with copper beech hedgerow. A stone paved pathway leads from the porch and the terrace that spans the front of the house to a pedestrian garden gate, providing easy access for walks around the village and to its amenities, such as Hambleton Hall or The Finches Arms. To the rear of the house, accessed form the kitchen or rear hall, a wide stone terrace is perfect for dining and alfresco entertaining, with fabulous Rutland Water views.

Location

The Hambleton peninsula juts out into Rutland Water, a man-made reservoir, maintained by Anglian Water, that was created in 1975 by the damming of The Gwash Valley. The ridge of land that marked the tide line is the Hambleton peninsula, which is a unique slice of Rutland countryside almost entirely surrounded by the beautiful Rutland water.

The peninsula is highly sought after and is a mecca for wildlife, particularly birds, being a tranquil and undisturbed slice of rural England. Rutland Water also provides stunning walks, sailing and fishing.

Hambleton’s favoured The Finches Arm’s, a destination gastro pub, and the 5* Hambleton Hall are also close at hand within the villages, whilst the county market town of Oakham is just over 3 miles away and provides for all ones day to day shopping requirements.

Further afield, Stamford, Uppingham, Market Harborough, Leicester and Peterborough provide for more extensive shopping, leisure and entertainment.

The area is renowned for its exceptional schooling with Oakham, Uppingham and Oundle all within striking distance.
