Beyond the gardens, two paddocks back onto open countryside. These are supplied with mains water and are complemented by two stables and a field shelter.
Location
Set in the picturesque Rutland village of Lyddington and lying within the Welland Valley, Scales Dyke enjoys a peaceful rural setting with excellent connections. The village has a thriving community with St Andrew's Church offering services on a monthly basis, a village hall, a recreation ground with a children’s playground and a tennis court. In addition, there are two popular pubs – The Marquess of Exeter and Old White Hart. Four footpaths emanate from the village providing scenic countryside walks on the doorstep.
The village is steeped in history and the majority of the village lies within a conservation area. There are 70 listed buildings, 2 Scheduled Ancient Monuments, the medieval fishponds and Lyddington Bede House. St Andrew’s Church, Lyddington Bede House and their surrounds are significant features in the village centre. The Bede House is owned by English Heritage and is a Grade 1 listed building incorporating parts of a medieval bishop’s palace.
The village is well connected and close to the A47 and A6003, with mainline rail services from both Corby and Kettering to London St Pancras in around an hour and a quarter. The nearby market towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Stamford provide excellent shopping, schooling (including leading independents) and Oakham offers train services to Birmingham, Stanstead and London Kings Cross via Peterborough.
There are many leisure facilities in the area, with nearby access to Rutland Water, offering sailing, cycling, fishing, and scenic walks, as well as golf at
local clubs including Luffenham Heath and Greetham Valley.
