Location
A fabulous first floor apartment, in a beautiful setting within a wing of a converted Palladian mansion, within 60 acres of grounds, near to Rutland Water and the county town of Oakham
This fabulous two bedroomed first floor apartment occupies part of the western Coach House wing of the grade I listed Burley on the Hill House. A Palladian mansion house with exceptional history from the 1690's, the wider property was converted in the 1990s into a number of superb individual houses and apartments.
Entered from the Cour d'Honneur, or Coach House's garden to the west, both entrances open into an impressive vaulted entrance stairwell hall, with brick walls and a stone cantilever staircase, with wrought iron balustrades, rising to the two first floor apartments.
Accommodation; The front door of this apartment opens onto a light entrance hall, which leads past two bedrooms and a family bathroom to a large, open plan family sitting room, with dining and library areas. The kitchen forms a galley off the sitting room, with a lovely view and fitted with integrated hob and oven, with space for fridge freezer and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher.
The rooms are all inviting and elegant, with high ceilings and windows, with deep-set stone sills, that offer views of either the Cour d'Honneur, or to the west across the Vale of Catmose.
Outside: The wing is approached along Church Road, which passes along the west side of the property, off which there is gravelled parking and access to the four garages that serve each of the Coach House apartments. A path leads from the parking, through the Coach House properties' lawn, to the entrance hall.
The property is within circa 60 acres of wider grounds used by the residents, with lawns, immaculate borders, shrubs and hedgerows. There are walks around the deer park and through woodland, whilst the covered colonnades that connect the mansion to the wings provide a splendid space in which to stroll and enjoy your surroundings.
