The Property

Set in one of the most desirable locations in Rutland, The Pavilion offers 10,000 sqft of unparalleled contemporary living in a position oriented towards, and overlooking, the beautiful Grade I Listed Palladian mansion, Burley on the Hill House, with its Cour d’Honneur and parkland.

Constructed of local Clipsham stone and hand cut brick with a Welsh slate roof the house has been designed around a series of bifold glass doors which open onto terraces and engage both the long reaching views as well as maximising the light entering the house.

The core of the house is formed by a magnificent living kitchen which is almost 80 feet in length. This space has vaulted ceilings with roof beams, solid oak floors and a stunning bespoke kitchen with state of-the art appliances. Emanating from this room is a lounge, a dining area, a TV room, preparation kitchen, boot room and cloakroom. At its southerly end is an area currently used as a gym which could seamlessly double as a changing area for the swimming pool beyond.

The ground floor living space circulates around a central courtyard with a central raised flower bed. On the north side of the internal courtyard is the main bedroom area which consists of three double bedrooms with en suite shower rooms and dressing areas as well as the superb principal suite with bathroom suite below and dressing room above. The bathrooms have been individually designed and fitted by Porcelanosa.

On the first floor, which runs along the north west side of the house, is a self-contained suite consisting of a snug area, office and a bedroom with en suite bathroom. On the lower ground floor there is a cinema room, and a large games room as well as a WC, laundry room and plant room. The house benefits from high specification systems such as zoned Smarthouse lighting, underfloor heating and an integrated sound system.

Outside
Electrically operated double wooden gates open onto a generous parking area with a triple garage. The garden, which wraps around the house, is mainly set to lawn and bounded by a beech hedge.

Location
Burley on the Hill is located 2 miles east of the market town of Oakham, and 12 miles west of Stamford, each of which provides a wide range of retail and entertainment facilities. Further afield, a broader range of shopping, cultural and entertainment facilities are to be found in Leicester to the west, Nottingham to the north and Peterborough to the south east. The area is renowned for the quality of its schooling with preparatory schools at Brooke Priory and Witham Hall as well as public schools at Oakham, Stamford, Uppingham and Oundle all within easy reach.
