Occupying a discreet position within the sought-after Rutland conservation village of Ketton, Tambre House is a stunning Stamford stone home, boasting tranquil gardens, with south westerly lake views with rolling fields beyond.


Originally constructed in 2010, the Stamford stone house has been lovingly refurbished and reconfigured by the current owners in the past four years, which has included the incorporation of a garage wing to form an integrated guest, or leisure wing. With an exacting eye for detail and a quest for energy efficiency, the aim was to create a thoroughly modern house with a classic look in this beautiful edge of village setting.


The result is a fabulous home that delivers scale, visual impact and incredible finishes, with accommodation arranged over three floors, of 7,900 square feet or thereabouts. It combines comfortable living accommodation with great lifestyle and leisure attributes. The house incorporates gym and games rooms, whilst the outdoor swimming pool has a fabulous oak framed pool house with covered veranda for entertaining and alfresco dining.


Approached along a private lane that serves four other houses enroute, electric gates open to Tambre House's extensive gravelled driveway, turning sweep and detached three-bay garage, which includes two open bays and one closed bay, with woodland gardens as a backdrop.

Accommodation: The front door opens into a spacious limestone floored reception hallway, which is a fabulous space to meet and greet guests, with walls adorned with hand printed Lewis & Wood wallpaper and picture windows offering views of the gardens past the staircase, around and under which there is a temperature controlled bespoke oak and glass wine room.


Arranged around the hallway is a home office, fitted with oak study furnishings, a utility and cloakroom/W.C., children's TV/Games room, with bi-folding doors to the garden's dining terrace, and a fabulous 32' dual-aspect, oak floored dining and living room. This splendid room has a central chimney breast housing an electric multi-faceted fireplace on the dining side and a contemporary gas fire on the living side.


The true hub of the home is the beautiful open-plan family dining kitchen, from which there are fabulous garden views through a bi-folding wall of glass. The fabulous kitchen, which is bathed in light from windows and skylights, is fitted with a bespoke suite, with an electric Aga alongside Siemens, Fisher & Paykel and Miele induction hob, oven and microwave appliances. The sink has Quooker style hot tap, whilst there is space for a generous fridge/freezer and a built-in dishwasher, with plenty of counter space for food prep and and a large central island.


Created within what was a garage wing, the spacious rear entrance hallway has large powder coated aluminium windows and external doors offering an attractive outlook, whilst doors offer a practical access to the house from the parking, close to the kitchen. The hall also accesses a large laundry, with plant room and second cloakroom/W.C., off it, a gym and, at first floor, a large double en suite bedroom. It is an ideal integrated wing for a relative, or guests.


From the entrance hallway, the main staircase rises to the first and second floor accommodation, with spacious glazed half landing reading areas at each floor, framing delightful garden views. There are four first floor double bedrooms, served by three bath or shower rooms.


The principal suite is magnificent. It combines a large fitted dressing room, with spiral staircase to a mezzanine level too, which accesses an opulent en suite bathroom, with free standing bath and separate double width shower, whilst the vast, triple aspect and vaulted bedroom itself has impact and offers fabulous views. All the bedrooms are spacious and impressive, with distinct features. Bedroom two has an en suite shower room, whilst Bedroom three a full-suite en suite bathroom, with bath and separate shower, which is also Jack & Jill to the landing and used by double bedroom four. Ascending to the second floor landing, there are two further large en suite double bedrooms; ideal for children and offering space and views over the grounds.


The house is broadly centrally positioned within its 1.27 acres, or thereabouts, of gardens and grounds. The gardens have woodland fringes, with mixed species deciduous trees. Stepping out of the house through the kitchen or games room's bi-folding doors, a raised south-east orientated dining terrace spans the width of the house.


Steps descend from the terrace to a NeoTimber composite decked veranda that surrounds an air source heated, 14m Aqualeaf swimming pool, with underwater LEDs, whilst the splendid four bay pool house, with an indoor seating area with bifold doors, offers a wonderful pool room for entertaining and games, complete with a changing room, shower area and plant room.


The aforementioned steps from the dining terrace also lead you to the lawn that sweeps to the lake that forms the southern garden boundary, whilst the woodland fringes offer privacy and frame the views to the lake and the fields behind; it is a truly wonderful setting and haven.
