SITUATION

Home Farm Yard is situated in the heart of the picturesque conservation village of Ketton.
Ketton, believed to derive its name from the historic pronunciation of the River Chater that flows through the village, is also the namesake of Ketton Stone, a limestone used in several of the beautiful buildings in the village and surrounding area. Some of the old quarries are now a Site of Special Scientific Interest, maintained by Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust. St. Mary’s Church is Grade I listed with the earliest architecture dating as far back as the 12th century whilst the Methodist Church dates back some 150 years.

Ketton has a thriving village shop and post office which is situated on the High Street. Ketton Library is run by Rutland County Council.
Grade II listed, The Railway Inn is the only ‘wet house’ left in the county of Rutland and is known for its welcoming atmosphere and delicious bar snacks, winning ‘Rutland Pub of the Year’ in both 2021 and 2022.

A bus service connects Ketton with Stamford, Oakham and Uppingham and Ketton lies within three miles of the A1, giving convenient access to the wider road network north and south.
More extensive facilities are available in the historic market town of Stamford which also offers a train service to Peterborough, Oakham, Melton Mowbray, Leicester, Birmingham & Norwich. The Cathedral City of Peterborough offers a mainline rail service to London Kings Cross from around 50 minutes.

Further recreational facilities in the area are many and varied with Rutland Water set to the north between Uppingham and Oakham, providing sailing, windsurfing, fishing, scenic walks and cycle rides. Golf is available at Luffenham Heath, Burghley and Greetham Valley golf clubs.
There is a wide range of schooling within easy reach of the village such as the Ketton Church of England primary school which has Outstanding Ofsted status. Independent schools are situated in Uppingham, Oakham, Stamford and Oundle with a healthy mix of both state and private schooling options available.
